Solid benching tonight Rickster. 130 x 5 must be there fresh?

The clean and press looked pretty decent to me. Stick with them, you should improve pretty quickly on these.

nothing wrong with the press, though more leg drive would be better, the clean is the one which needs most cosmetic surgery i think.

Thanks boys. Yeah, the cleans need a lot of work - though a lot less than they needed a few weeks ago!

Jonny, if next week goes well 130x5 will be attempted the week after. I'd like that, I'd be nearly up with Repmeister Bull then Happy.

Friday 26th October, Adlington

Deadlift (in pounds) 132x5x2, 220x3, 300x3, 360x3, 410x3, 455x3 PB (roughly 206kg), 410x3.

Removed my sweater after the 220, started to tighten up immediately in the back, back on and left it. At 300 I asked Alan what I was doing, and all subsequent weight choices are his (I would never have thought to push for a PB today!). I think 460x3 might just have gone, but this was certainly near-limit. The form is very nearly locked in now, which is nice.

NOTE TO SELF: weight on HEELS, shoulders OVER BAR, constant back angle, head high, squeeze buttocks.

Speed Bench 20x20, 70x3, 75x3, 80x3, 85x3, 90x3, 95x3, 100x3, 105x3, 110x3, 100x3, 90x3, 80x3, 70x3.

Superman rows four 8s with increasing weight.

Some interesting lifting from Little A's Mate, and some superb PB-smashing from Jeff Wigan.

Thanks guys, little by little we progress!

But not today. I have a vicious cough, and everytime I inhale even fairly deeply I start hacking away uncontrollably, so there was no way I was going to be lifting anything. Hopefully should be alright for Wednesday.

Unhappy

Thanks sweetie. I think I'm a bit better today - I could probably bench today, ish, but still not risk squatting (coughing fit with bar on back = f**ked spine). So tomorrow should be on, unless I relapse.

So, now I know what happens when Bolton are at home on a training night. I spend 30 f**king minutes at the roundabout due to f**kers queueing all the way round it and not letting people going the other way out. Kill them all, say I.

Next time, I head north out of Adders and hit the M61 that way.

Wednesday 31st October, Adlington

Bench 20x20, 70x5, 90x5, 100x5, 110x5, 120x5, 127.5x5 PB, 130x5 PB, 100x14.

Incline Smith Bench 60x5, 80x5, 85x5, 90x5

Triceps Pressdown (in lbs) 55x5, 82.5x5, 97.5x5, 112.5x5

Power clean + push press 50x3+3, 60x3+3, 70x3+3, 75x3+3, 80xf,1,f (no press attempted).

Tank suddenly emptied at 80 Happy.

The 127.5 bench set was comically easy, so we did the 130, which wasn't hard but wasn't going to be bettered today. I think we go to 135 next week - the question is the route. Joe - does 70, 90, 105, 120, 135 sound sensible? What do you recommend?

I no longer have a bench triple PB.

Nice benching Rick

Wouldn't worry about the power cleans, you'd done an awful lot of benching and you still in recovery mode so we'll let you off this week, only this week mind!!!Wink

I agree with Wigan, pwcleans were surely performed on a light battery mode.
Awesome benching, your 1RM belongs to the past nowWink

Thanks guys. The 75x3 p/cl is actually equal to my best for three (since I'm still catching them standing bolt upright!), but they were piss easy. I was sure I was going to get 80x3, but then I could barely get the bar off the ground!
