embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Overhead tonight, Push jerks: 80kg X 4 sets of 3, nothing too strenuous here. Overhead medley: 75kg barbell (as we don't have a swiss bar, 90kg log, 90kg axle, 40kg circus dumbell (both arms) first run through in about 40ish seconds. Thereafter couldn't get the axle pressed for some odd reason. No idea why as this should be a very easy weight for me and had no problems doing a log of the same weight. Gave up in disgust after about 3 attempts. Close grip bench: 75kg X 4 sets of 6 Viking press: 60kg X 4 sets of 6 Tyre flip: 200kg tyre X 4 sets of 10 flips. Absolutely pish session tonight. Everything felt very heavy in spite of the fact that these are all weights that I should be doing very easily. Not happy and don't know why things went so poorly tonight. Just have to write it off as a bad day at the office and come back to it tomorrow. | ||

Member 1966, 348 posts SQ 160, BP 70, DL 200430.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq | Hi Neil, if you dont hav a swiss bar the best substitute i would say is clean a pair of dumbells hammer grip style, go through the same motion as you would a log... | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Cheers Neil, not too worried about the weight on the swiss bar as I used one at my last comp and found it not too bad, just trying to get the weights right for the medley. Really pumped for the competition now and can't wait to get going. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Cheers mark, my prep for the comp has generally been pretty good and am pretty happy with thing. For the comp me and my girlfriend are going down the day before for a day out in glasgow and then heading to dumfries late on the saturday night. Should be a good day tho and decent to watch if u do come down. | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 16.09.2011 @ 08:19 AM by Benvie Squatting tonightBack Squats: worked up to 120kg 140kg X 4 easy sets of 3 160kg X a couple of singles just for s**ts and giggles. Yoke: 210kg X 4 or 5 runs of 30 metres with one turn. Fairly easy and straightforward, just going through the motions on this one. Stones: 90kg X 5 100kg X 5 130kg X 3. Ben was able to confirm it is definitely 130kg so that's a boost. Not overly taxing session up until the stones but fairly pleased with the stones, I'm still not so great on the bigger stones, probably because I'm only 5ft 8 and have relatively short arms but getting a bit better. Now just a couple more moderate sessions then Dumfries a week on Sunday. | ||
