Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	Another two workouts to catch up on. Took it fairly easy on Friday although nothing's really easy at this point. Sunday was cool, grip on farmers was solid and the axle is sure to become my new favourite toy, holding that thing above your head is really really cool. Friday 9th February CG Bench 60kg x 10 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 3 115kg x 3 120kg x 2 125kg x 1 110kg x 4 105kg x 5,5 Push Press/Split Jerk 50kg x 3/3 60kg x 3/3 70kg x 3/3,3/3,3/3 Dumbell Shoulder Press 27.5kg x 5 37.5kg x 5,4 Chins Bw x 5 15kg x 5,5,5 Sunday 11th March Log 70kg x quite a few 80kg x 1 85kg x 1 90kg x 1 95kg x 0 - got a vid of this, and it was very noticeable that im jumping back on my drive for the press, meaning that im leaving it out front and stopping me from getting my head through. I need to work on this. Still, like Joni said, its better than just not being strong enough. Farmers Walk/Holds Bars x 40m 70kg x 40m 110kg x 40m - 29s 130kg x hold - 55 seconds - pretty chuffed with that, I think there's plenty more to come too Axle - 60mm 75kg x for a couple of sets of one clean and 2 presses. This thing is fun. Im gonna work on power cleaning it rather than continentalling it. I guess 100kg has to be the goal. Went on to do deadlifts (mixed grip): 115kg x 5 155kg x 5 180kg x 3 200kg x 3 We then bolloxed ourselves with a medley consisting of 120kg farmers for 20m and a 150kg sled drag for 20m. Nailed the farmers in 14.9 seconds but that sled destroyed me. Got it over halfway but that f**ker was hard. On concrete it was pretty easy but once we got in the grass with a slight hill, it was crazy hard. Millsy showed us just how hard it was when he didnt race through it despite not doing the farmers first. Finished off by bringing the sled back 20m after Millsy had finished. Good, fun session. I love the axle.

I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0 180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq	Wow, well impressive lifting! You must have excellent grip strength. Do you find wrist wraps help Olly? What length are yours? Cheers

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	David, im a big fan of wrist wraps, probably shouldnt be so relient on them but I dont really mind. Ive only got one pair of wrists and they take one hell of a beating! My grip strength is ok, well behind Millsy though on the axle. Lets hope not for long....

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	Tuesday 13th March Floor Press 60kg x 10 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 3 115kg x 1 120kg x 1 122.5kg x 1 125kg x 1 115kg x 3,2 Seated Overhead Press - from top of head, pin 8 50kg x 5 70kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 5 95kg x 3 100kg x 1 80kg x 9 Liked this movement, think I'll work it in for a while. Dumbell Inclines 32.5kg x 8,8,8 Finished off with 3 sets of 20 very light side raises. My right shoulder has been giving me a lot of pain since Sunday, this was to try and get some bloody moving. Wednesday 14th March Deadlifts 60kg x 10 100kg x 5 140kg x 3 180kg x 1 200kg x 1 - sharp pain in my right shoulder so stopped there, could do with a deload on my deadlifts anyway so its probably all good. Seeing as I wasnt going to pull heavy decided to squat for the first time in f**king ages. They felt alright considering. The plan is for the squats to just poodle along for a while, no real goals. Just take any progress as it comes. Squats 60kg x 8 90kg x 5 110kg x 5 125kg x 5 135kg x 3 145kg x miss, head just wasnt in it Front Squats 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 Shrugs - double overhand 60kg x 10 80kg x 10 100kg x 10 120kg x 10 140kg x 10 160kg x 6 Lets hope the shoulder heals nice and fast.

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	Friday 16th March Close Grip Bench 60kg x 10 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 3 115kg x 3,3,3,3,3 - quite pleased with this, and it didnt bother my shoulder Push Press/Front Squat well the bars there, so why not?! 50kg x 5/5 70kg x 2/5 80kg x 2/5 (for 5 sets) Machine Rows Stack x 8,8,8 - underhand grip and done very slowly. The furthest range of motion hurts here Sunday 18th March - strongman sunday! Log 70kg x lots 80kg x 3 85kg x 1 90kg x 1 95kg x a lot of misses, working different techniques, trying to get a feel for the weight on my chest as well. I'll nail this soon. 70kg x 3 - split jerks 80kg x 2 - split jerks Farmers Walks/Holds 70kg x 40m 100kg x 40m 120kg x ~28m, put them down as I couldnt breath and I felt battered, thats enough walking 130kg x ~30 seconds hold, not for a max as that was hurting my shoulder 150kg x 30 seconds PB, again, not a max, I also needed help with pick up Stones - to 54 inch (highest ive tried) 105kg x 1 - This was a big PB mainly as its the first stone ive loaded without tacky, also first stone to 54in 130kg x 1 PB 140kg x 1 PB 150kg x 0,1 PB! Well chuffed with this! 105kg x a couple of half arsed attempts to do reps, but i was battered by then Walk of Pain Simulation 120kg x ~25m, 15m - just getting a feel for the movement. Using a loading pin makes it bloody hard to walk! Good session for the stones and holds, although I think I have some more in there on the holds. I really need to get this shoulder sorted. IT's the only thing holding back my training, although doesnt really seem to bother my pressing!

always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260 637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	Great session Olly. You are the king of the high platforms (for now). Don't get complacent though as there is a fire burning inside my belly for next week! Big Shawn is coming up and I'm going to show you all who the king of the farmers is - f**k the shin, it's boring not training properly. Big shawn talking of a 400kg yoke attempt!

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	what ever goes on the Yoke, i will give it a go! Awesome session Olly - it may have not felt like it (until the stones) but reading back it was a great day again.

Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280 620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator	Pffft. That wasnt intensity. That was a walk in the park. Wait till Saturday mate Two real solid sessions to report. First time push pressing heavy in a while on Tuesday and then a sweet deadlift PB on Wednesday. Gonna rest up till Strongman Saturday and hopefully nail some big lifts then too.... Tuesday 20th March Push Press 50kg x 5 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 80kg x 3 90kg x 3 95kg x 1 100kg x 1 95kg x 2 90kg x 3 CG Bench 60kg x 10 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 3,3 100kg x 5,5 Dumbell Shoulder Press 27.5kg x 8 32.5kg x 7 35kg x 6 Then I finished off with 2 sets of 25 BTN press and 3 supersets of band dislocations, pull aparts and face pulls, all with the mini band and for 12 reps.

None of these were exactly strict, but hey, I like them. 126kg x 8 And thats it till Saturday! Two really solid sessions. Shoulder still hurts but isnt as bad. Hopefully it'll be much better by the weekend.....
