With Paul, I hate squatting, Dudley!!!But first, some one handed DLs  :Bar x 5 Bar x 5 60kg x 5 100kg x 2 120kg x F - so bloody close, was not grip that failed (although twas close to) but balancing the bar!!! pleased though, suggests I won't fail a DL due to grip for a while yet!! Front Squats: Bar x 5 Bar x 5 - just getting used to making sure I have to do nothing with my hand, cross armed approach! 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 80kg x 1 80kg x 1 100kg x 1 - PB - COME ON!!!!!!!!! 60kg x 5 60kg x 5 60kg x 5 60kg x 10 Ab stuff, done!!! Very pleased considering, hope my hand heals up soon... Mike | ||

Nobbed she-ra whilst he-man watched Member 687, 260 posts SQ 170, BP 127.5, DL 215512.5 kgs @ 87.7kgs UnEq | I got one for my birthday and for the last couple of days have been doing some swings with it, Boars style (30 on 15 off for 12 sets). Bloody hard work (particularly on the lower back I find) but great fun. Atm two handed swings but hope to progress once my hand has healed. Mike | ||

Nobbed she-ra whilst he-man watched Member 687, 260 posts SQ 170, BP 127.5, DL 215512.5 kgs @ 87.7kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 26.03.2010 @ 22:36 PM by Mike_Hawkins More leg press stuff today, but it bores me just thinking about it, so I can't be aresed writing anything down! My hand is still super gay!However this is the plan for the next couple of weeks: Week 1 - more leg stuff, highlight will be going for a front squat PB - come on 110! Week 2 - rest + walking Week 3 - hopefully hand will be better, light upper body stuff to get back into it Week 4 - Back in business following this plan: Mon - 531 Squat + Kettlebell work Tue - 531 Bench + Grip work Wed - Kettlebell work Thu - 531 DL + Grip work Fri - 531 MP + Kettlebell work Sat - Kettlebell work Sun - Grip work Need to work out a regime from the grip stuff, I have a C.O.C trainer and no.2 with no.1 coming soon, so close to closing no.2!! Thats the plan man. Off to the BDFPA British Championships tomorrow to watch Paul_D compete, should be a good experience, bloody 5 o clock wake up though, better get to sleep!! | ||
