Ste - LOL I'm glad you have some faith in me. If only I had some myself...

Josh - OK cheers. Makes sense I suppose. Even with the wheels off I'm sure Andy would use the same matting to protect the floor.

Saturday 28th January

Dungeon session with Andy. JC arrived 10 mins late with the front end of his car missing. I burst out laughing - he wasn't impressed! Grin So no session for JC today!

Log
70kg x 3,3,3
90kg x 3
105kg x 3 C&P
112.5kg x 2f3,f C&P

Log cleans
137.5kg x 2

15" rack deadlift
60kg x 1
100kg x 1
140kg x 1
180kg x 1
220kg x 1
Add suit
260kg x 3

Axle
65kg x 3
85kg x 1
95kg x 1
105kg x 1
115kg x 4f5

Disappointing session on the whole. The log cleans and deadlift felt solid, so not a total disaster.

I'm going to say it again, but my log is terrible and needs some serious work!

Deadlifts looked eeeasy and the so did the log cleans!

I know you were pissed off with the log but when your heads right you absolutely nail it

Andy - I know some of it is in my head, but the main reason is I'm just not strong enough on the movement at the moment.

Mike - I'm not push pressing on a bar at the moment, but judging off the axle today I'd probably be around the 130 mark on a regular push press.

Even your iffy session was better than my day lol. Never driving that way again!

Looks decentish too me mate....I trust the pulls were comfy? As joni says, just think the log needs hard work and consistency.

With your strong tricep and leg work of late, 130+ will come in time......hopefully April time Grin

Sparrow said:Will - No worries mate, I was only pulling your leg. I was going to get some of the sandbags off Brian but now I'm not so sure I need to. Your advise is great and I'm going to get to work ordering some of that stuff and get making myself some nice sandbags. do the polypropylene sacks need to be covered in duct tape? will they split if not? What about the ones you use at St. Ives - are they Hessian sacks? If so is everything else the same? Where did you get those from? sorry for all the questions and thanks a lot for the help!


yes the poly sacks need duct tape or theyll split. the best brands are 'Duck Tape' or 'Gorilla Tape'. dont get the cheap brand tape its useless.

the ones I use at st.ives are made as above but just with a hessian sack over the top. the hessian is purely cosmetic. theyre not made for such heavy weights so they split really quick. I have to replace them after each comp. again, I get them off one of the commercial sellers on ebay.

Chin up on log mate I feel your pain, mine feels shocking at the minute, is there a certain part your struggling with or failing at a certain point?

Mike - there's a high correlation between my head and my numbers, so once the numbers start rising, the head will be right.

Joni - you are not wrong. The graft will be nailed. The full on assault starts mid Feb. Now I'm just testing the waters... unsuccessfully!

Cheers for the vid Andy.

JC - I don't know why you come that way anyway really mate, can't be any quicker than the main road? did you get the car looked at?

The pulls weren't as easy as I would have liked, but they weren't particularly hard either, considering they were an equal PB. Definitely more to come.

Neil - thanks. I do find belt cleans pretty easy TBH, just the pressing that needs work.

Thanks Will. Are you doing strongman again?

Will - Ah I get you now with the sandbags. The instructions are very clear and even though I'm a DIY retard I reckon I should be able to do it. I've got a lot of Gaffer tape - will it be up to the job? Will I be able to make a 130+ sandbag the way you described?

Gra - I don't seem to be able to get a smooth lift so the poor leg drive that I get (can't seem to find a consistent position on the chest which allows good leg pop) just stops and I end up doing a half strict press. No real fluidity.
