And, very impressive speed on the yoke especially in your oly shoes.


It's always good to juggle things up a bit, stops me getting into a rut, so overhead singles were great! Bit disappointed I didn't get the final yoke weight because I'm sure I've done it before but it was a much lower height than usual. Will definitely swing around when I'm in the area in July.

Sadly not. It's my hometown but I live in London these days and won't have the time to go back again until July. Hopefully I'll see you then.

Had a s**t session today, missed DB shoulder presses I've easily made before. I also seem to have re-injured my left wrist again: a year ago I missed the rack on one side when re-racking the bar after a squat. My left hand was trapped and massively hyperextended, think I tore a ligament or something - couldn't even grip an unloaded barbell for weeks afterward. It's the same kind of unpleasant pain and grip weakness now so I think I might see my GP and get a physio referral.

25/01/11
Incline bench press 3x5x72.5kg
Push-ups 3x8xBW+10kg, 1x6xBW+10kg
DB shoulder press 1x8x18.5kg, 1x6x18.5kg, 1x4x18.5kg
Was supposed to do some tricep isolation work here, gave up instead.

After that strong session with the log and split jerks and awesome music, sorry to hear about your injury. I hope it heals up fast for you to get back to full effort.

Thanks for the comments, guys, it seems to be getting better on its own with a little gentle rehab so I'm holding off on getting a referral to the physio.

Had a busy week at the hospital so put off training until this weekend instead.

29/01/11
Zercher squat from pins 2x5x110kg
Romanian deadlifts 3x10x100kg
Bent-over rows 4x6x75kg
Reverse curls 3x10x20kg

Used straps for the RDLs and rows to give my wrist a break. Will be doing a CGBP session tomorrow I think.

CGBP 3x3x95kg
Wide dips 4x8xBW
Seated OHP 3x8x55kg
DB skullcrushers 3x10x7.5kg

Really happy with this morning's session. I've got two more weeks left in this cycle before I deload and rotate lifts so I'll go 97.5kg next time and then 100kg in the last week for CGBP, which will give me a new 3RM that's higher than my regular grip bench 1RM! Seated OHP was hard as balls because my triceps were knackered by that point but I've got a fantastic pump now.

Nice sessions. Not tried those zercher squats yet but would love to give them a go sometime. How do they feel in comparison to normal ones? More difficult or a little easier?

A lot harder. You need to keep yourself upright and really brace your core so the bar doesn't pull you forward. I'm doing them as a squat variation now to help build some upper back strength for my deadlifts.

Yeah, Zerchers are probably the best squat variation for hitting your core. Painful but worth it!
