You mean the last workout? I'm quite surprised you say that - it took me no more than 75 minutes and if I'd been working really hard / not talking to anyone etc. it could have been an hour. I don't think that's really a lot of work.

Well, yes, basically. Not for a few weeks yet but I thought it'd be a good idea to feel some heavier weights on my shoulders.

It's for the trapezius and upper mid back. Everyone does standing shrugs; I thought it'd be a bit more interesting to do prone shrugs instead. I was also quite swayed by an argument in Paul Kelso's Shrug Book (lent to me by Faz, but still in my house actually) that this kind of shrug benefits the deadlift more because the pull of the bar on your upper back is not really a vertical one during the lift. He actually recommends incline bench shrugs but I haven't found a convenient way of doing that.

6/7/07

Power Clean
50x2x2, 60x2x2, 70x2x2, 80x2, 90x2x3

Bit s**t. Hard to believe I've done 90x20 in the past. Mind you, a good whippy OL bar makes a big difference.

OH Press
50x3, 60x3, 70x1, 75x1x3

SLDL off block
50x10, 100x10, 125x10, 145x10

These were a bit brutal. That's 5kg off my PB set of 10 so it should be hard but I'm intending to do 150/155/160 over the next three weeks.

Ab Pulldown
60x10x3

A deload day in squat and bench press...

Squat
40x5, 70x3, 100x3, 110x2, 130x2x10

Squatting with Haris, with minimal rest in between sets, and good concentration - decent speed towards the end after the first 2-3 sets were a bit slow. Good stuff.

Bench Press
60x3, 80x3, 100x2x10

Really fast on these, very pleased with them.

DB OH Press
32.5s x 7, 7, 6

Pull-up
+25 x 9, 8, 6

It's really low at the moment! I'm benching and squatting only twice a week, and most weeks have no more than 10 work sets altogether! That's not high volume!

Yesterday was 10 sets of 2, which is a lot of sets but not a lot of volume, and it was speed work with 70% weights.

10/7/07

OH Press
40x3, 50x3, 60x2x6

Deloading on this, concentrating on speed.

Deadlift off block (two thin mats and two 25kg plates - about 3-4" - standard for me anyway)
60x3, 105x3, 145x3, 185x3, 205x3x3

DB Bench Press
27.5sx6, 45sx8x3

SLDL off block
70x10, 105x10x3

Kept these as stiff-legged as possible, concentrating on using hamstrings rather than lower back, having done conventional deads already.

Excellent evening at Sugden today. Deadlifts (with a new, partly Blanchflower-inspired low volume approach - low for me, anyway) felt very solid after a few weeks off. Hoping for some big weights on the platform deads over the next 5 weeks. Dumbbell benching was also a PB of sorts (don't think I've even done one set of 8 with 45s before but could be wrong).

Training looks good.

I've always wondered why you actually add those mats to the platform, do they actually make any difference? They just looked a bit cumbersome and pointless to me?
