Teabagger for hire Member 54, 237 posts | 22nd of march should be OK for a training day. We should be squatting then. I will have a word with Bryn, and then put a message up to invite all comers. Be careful - you are going in a bit too hard too soon with the weights and volume. Previuysly held strength comes back best with a gentle coaxing instead of a vigorous beasting. | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Wednesday 12 march 2008 OK so I have missed 2 days. On Saturday after the Friday squat and badminton session, I was really DOMSed in the glutes and fatigued - so the 44.4km walk was hard work and yet I felt a whole lot less tired on Sunday when we got home than when we set out Saturday morning. Monday therefore was not a rest day out of tiredness - just sheer bone-idleness! Tuesday I did a 20minute indoor climbing session but skipped my swimming session out of laziness also. Today I have resumed training This week is supposed to be "medium" week. Squats: 5x20kg 3x50kg 2x60kg 2x70kg 2,2,2 x 75kg Bench press: 5x20kg 3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 x 40kg Bench speedwork Strict overhead press 5x20kg 10x20kg Clean and press 5,5,5 x 30kg Wide-grip pullups full body-weight 3x5 50 situps 20 oblique situps 30 dorsal raises I will go for a run tonight. | ||

Member 194, 3976 posts | What isit with the girlies and cardio! The bat here is like an energizer bunny, Jordana is on Speed (not literally, she is in BDFPA at the moment lol) and us men are left knackered after squats and deads (not so much the bench). All this energy makes me feel tired! | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | NW Uneq Open was today: was a good day out - as I met and surpassed my goals for this comp: Goals were: To match or beat my performance from NW Unequipped Open last year which were Squat 82.5kg Bench 50kg (or was it 47.5?) and Deadlift 125kg when I was a Junior 67.5kg category lifter. This year I was competing as a Senior 60kg competitor. I also wanted to qualify for British Champs (as both 60kg and 67.5kg competitor in case I decide to move up into the next weight class seeing as under 60kg is hard to maintain for me. To make 9 out of 9 of my lifts. Today I didnt go into my comp with the best preparation and definitely not well-rested, well-fed or well-trained. I weighed in then scoffed a whole bar of chocolate and a large can of caffeine drink. Squats: 70; 77.5; 82.5kg The first two were really deep and then I really cut the third attempt close on depth and got one red light - last attempt was the easiest because of the lack of depth! Bench press - usually at comps I struggle to get into the bench press "groove" and my form is all over the place and traditionally I fail my third attempt but today bench got better and better after some shaky warmups. I havent made 50kg in months but it was a pretty easy rep today - maybe its because I usually train heavy bench on fridays by which time I am already tired. Deadlifts as usualy my favourite competition event. Warmups were not good but the platform did some magic though I had to actually work on getting some adrenaline and aggression for them. Was pelased with 127.5. Like my other two lifts, there was more there probably at least another 2.5kg lifts. For a first comp of the year and having gone into the comp with a lot of doubts - I am really chuffed. I really enjoyed the day and of course I loved being with the "normal" crowd. Next Sunday I will be competing again - equipped this time for the Welsh squad; and then I will be looking to training for the British Championships both Equipped and Unequupped. | ||
