Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | Wow, I've really let this lapse  Still at it, still about the same. Climbing I can hit 6b's almost anytime, and have a crack at 6c's sometimes. Have lead all but say one move of a couple 6a's too. Lifting; did a comp Sunday two weeks back, hit 100 (conservative, wanted to get this), 50 (missed 55) and 135 (missed 140) weighing in at 65.9, after way too much drinking and bugger all sleep the Friday before. In the gym got a 52kg paused bench, a set of 5 DL with 115, and several hook-grip singles at 120. Week off last week due to a conference, in glorious Manchester. Coming back this week, and fighting a cold at the same time. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | It's a bas***d, finally get back to training and coughing green stuff. I'll just keep hammering through it until it goes away or I get pneumonia. I'm going to miss the SP open in June, but I'm intending to do the Seniors in Sept. Ought to smoke 140 DL by then, and really hoping to be benching near one plate. Might look into something from one of the other Feds for the interim. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | My grip strength has gone through the roof recently, I can climb things I wouldn't think possible (there's one fingery, bridgy 6c at Ibrox I have done twice with a single cheat hold), and can hook grip my DL work sets at 110x5, I think I've pulled 125x1 with hook. Starting to prefer it over alternating. Back on a TM setup, with 5x5/1x5 squats, 6x3/1x3 bench/press and 6x3 PCs/1x5 dl. Enjoying it, but so very busy with PhD work that I'm permanently knackered. Hoping for 115x5 DL today to be squarely over the 250lb mark again, got a 72.5 5x5 squat Monday, and am at about a 50x2-3 bench. Also, I will be going to Alaska in June. This is totally awesome, and I have a week of free time to go kayaking, go and see Denali etc etc. It will be two weeks without training so I'm planning to run hard up to then and take it as much needed time off. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | New PBS: 90 1x5 squat, and a 117.5 1x5 DL, consecutively. Deads were hooked. Squat is technically an equal pb, but it was much better than that one. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | Bit of outdoor climbing recently, nothing big but the first time I've been in charge. Nobody died, nobody even got grazed. Squat 92.5x5 and DL 120x5 all hooked last week. squat 80 5x5 on Monday. Bench 51x3. Lifts going nicely, trousers getting a bit tight. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | Wow this has been a while. Got up to 95x4 squat, but only 122.5x3 dead. Also 130 dead for almost 2 reps: soft lockout on the second. Then hiked the ring of Steall, 5000ft ascent/descent, in the week we had 25 degrees and blazing sun. Went to Alaska, which was awesome. Sea kayaking, hiking, mountain biking, moose. Ran a 5k in 31.56 the day after getting back. Back on the previous programming since return, but having issues with the squat again. Currently working on the knees out problem. OTOH, tonight should be 120x5 DL again, for PR territory next week. Bench sucks due to the 3-4week enforced break. Loving the Olympics. although it only took about ten minutes to realise I cannot watch while working, and actually get anything done. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | Had something off in the SI joint and one of the facet joints in my back decided to readjust under 85kg. That hurt. Still have a tender spot in the muscle. Hips have been aching a lot too, not entirely sure why. Did a comp today, so thought I'd check in: 102.5, 50, 137.5 at 67kg. 303lb deadlift, with hook grip. Can't wait to get back to squatting, and to finally DL more than 120 for 5. Close to a 55kg bench too. And would like to drop a few kgs, back down to 64-5. | ||

Member 2272, 339 posts SQ 102.5, BP 50, DL 140292.5 kgs @ 65kgs UnEq | I think I should stop posting here. Last time I did I immediately cricked my back, and last night I think I broke my toe... Hook grip is OK for me, as strong as alternating, but I don't know if it scales. It hurts, and I imagine it'd hurt more for higher weight regardless of how strong your grip is. But then I have small hands. Give it a go, and see. | ||

Give it a go, and see. i need to work on my grip probably. i have big hands but woman fingers, pretty thin. Ill probably give it a bash on some deficits or something. | ||
