Milsy, its always good when guys push - max medleys are so hard mentally, all you want to do is give up Grin

Thing said:
solid sesh joni, how did the shoulder feel with the stones. and are ou planning to shoulder them?


this one was a height that it had to be pressed up, so just lifted in from the front, hands under, a little press, headbutt, another press, a header, and it was on.

Wee bit lower and it could go via the shoulder.

Good work to muscle the stone up in the end mate, it will be flying up in amonths time

Everything looked very solid considering you were having a few tendon probs

tendon was not actually painful, just really tight. And the doc said, if you feel it going tight, stop your training and do gentle stretching and movement, which i did.

i thought fair enough, thats easy to do, but when it happens i am gutted Grin

i think as the weights climb up, the tendon "holding me back" is a regular feature, so cant really dwell on it TBH. It is the way it is and i just need to train around it.

as far as more in the deads - i dont really think so Grin I am so s**t off the floor man, its not funny!

your not s**t, its just the weakest part of the lift. Once it breaks mid shine it absolutely flys. I would bin off your rack work and do DLs from the floor and from platforms. You don't need to work your lockout at the mo IMO

this is true mate.

BUT!

The comp has a max deadlift from higher than normal bar, which means rack pulls are direct training for it.

Starting weight 260-300 and height somewhere higher than normal and lower than knees (= they dont know lol!)

Which means my 18 inch dead needs to climb up fair bit as well.

You need a bigger deadlift = nail from every angle mate. But platform deads for the win.

Nail 230kg from a platform and watch 260 go from the floor.
