Fallen out of updating a journal on here, but noticing my progression isn't as good as when I keep up a detailed log so decided to start up a new one for the coming year.

Current best lifts

Squat 210kg
Bench 132.5kg
Deadlift 220kg (definitely more there but I've been plagued with back injuries)
Strict press 92.5kg
Push press 115kg

Competing in just under 3 weeks, prep hasn't been the best but training is starting to come together. It'll be the first inters comp I've done, events are:

Truck pull
Axle press 110kg for reps (clean first rep then press from the chest)
Farmers walk 125kg per hand for 20m
Car deadlift side handle approx 275kg for reps
Yoke walk 280kg for 20m

Just doing this comp for fun really, still just building up for next year. Gunna do body power U105's I think, looks like I mainly need to work on my static strength for that (pretty much what I always have to work on). & in case you're wondering what the journal name is about, my last name is Segal & everyone always asks me what it's like having a Kung-fu master as a dad Grin

Thank you! Not something I'm naturally very good at, have to keep working hard at it

Was supposed to be training a client this afternoon but they didn't show up so had to hang round the gym for a couple hours. Couldn't resist training, did a some upper back assistance work

Bench rows
Bar x 12
40kg x 12
60kg x 10
80kg x 8
Add straps
90kg x 5
100kg x 5
110kg x 5
120kg x 5, x 5, x 5 - very easy
135kg x 3 - really easy again
First time trying rows off a bench, quite liked it felt very strong

T-bar rows
40kg x 12
60kg x 12
80kg x 10
100kg x 8 PB - easy
120kg x 7 PB - then drop to 80kg, 60kg & 40kg each to failure

My rows feel ridiculously strong atm, can probably row 75% of my deadlift max for reps, quite absurd really

Hammer strength seated row machine
30kg x 15
35kg x 15
45kg x 15
55kg x 12
65kg x 10

Lat pulldown
100lbs x 15
130lbs x 8
Didn't like the feel of this so left it there, prefer the hammer strength pulldown

Straight arm pulldown
22.5lbs x 20
32.5lbs x 20
42.5lbs x 20
52.5lbs x 15
First time with this as well, not a bad finisher I suppose

Hammer strength lat pulldown
90kg x 15
110kg x 12
125kg x 10
110kg x 13

Probably the biggest back pump up I've ever had today. The last two sessions have just been for fun really, enjoyed breaking up the heavy lifting with some bro stuff though. Resting tomorrow then events Saturday.

Went down to Doncaster today for events, had a good session

Log press (1 clean then press)
Empty log x 3 sets 5-8 reps
Add belt
80kg x 4, x 3
90kg x 2
Belt was catching on the clean, felt awkward so swapped to soft belt
100kg x 2
105kg x 2 PB
110kg x fail - strength was there just couldn't breath, lost tightness

Axle press (1 power clean then press)
60kg x 5
80kg x 4
90kg x 4
100kg x 4 - failed 5th, ran out of breath again

Car deadlift simulater
Small tyre (240kg) x 3
Add belt
Big tyre (500kg) x 3, x 3
Add straps
Big tyre x 8
Dunno what this was in the hands but a guy who deadlifts 240 struggled to pull the big tyre for a triple, bodes well for me

Stone over yoke
90kg x 1
110kg x 1 PB - easy, never done this without tacky before
110kg x 1
Was going to do 110 for reps but caught my finger as the stone bounced up, quite painful so left it there

Yoke walk (runs of 40m drop & turn @20m)
25kg
105kg
185kg
225kg
265kg
The yoke was supposedly 25kg, it definitely felt heavier than that & was very wobbly

Bench press
80kg x 12
100kg x 8
120kg x 3
130kg x 1 - easy
140kg x 1 PB
145kg x fail - just stalled about half way, it's close

Sled drag (with harness to simulate truck pull)
30kg + 80kg bloke x 40m - struggled with technique
30kg + two 110kg+ guys x about 5m, very heavy
30kg + 110kg bloke x 20m, x 20m - these were better, nice and fast

BW to 39" x fail

First time doing box jumps, 39" isn't very high but it looked intimidating, kinda pussied out the first two attempts

Sprints
3 runs of 30-40m

Glute ham raise
BW + red band x 12
Changed band setup, made it much more difficult
BW + red band x 7, x 6, x 7

Immense pump today, my arms were still feeling slightly numb for hours afterwards.

Was just finishing my shift about 5-6 hours later and just did some clean & jerks for fun

50kg x 3 power cleans
80kg x 3 power cleans
100kg x 1 power clean & jerk
110kg x 1 power clean & jerk - PB for power clean

Pretty happy with that given my arms were shaky and I've had 8 pretty high volume sessions over the past 7 days. Also did it 100% raw, haven't trained jerks in years either. So all in all a pretty stupid thing to do really haha, time to rest now
