Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Cheers mate. Still quite a bit below my best but getting there. Tuesday 23rd September Deadlifting was truly s**te last night. I worked in with an American lad and he noticed a few bad habits that i seem to have picked up from training by myeslf. The 2 biggest problems are starting with the bar to far away from my shins and spending too much time at the bottom position right before i do the lift. So spent a good hour working on these at 220k, just doing singles. Did some rack pulls after up to 290k and a few BW chins to finish. | ||

Dont worry it will all come together on tht one glorious day! Cheers, Dave. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thanks for the link Dave, some good points in the article. I need to go back to the drawing board with deadlifts and sort the form out. Thursday 25th September Bit of bench tonight, working in with this American lad who is over studying at Queens University. He's a strong lad, he did 160k x 5 raw bench, all with long pauses. For myself, i have decided to go back to a 5x5 routine, started light today at 110k. All sets nice and easy, last two sets all reps were paused with the press commands. Bench 60k x 5 80k x 5 90k x 5 100k x 5 110k x 5,5,5,5,5 100k x 5,5 ( 5 second pauses each rep) Did some seated rows and rotator stuff to finish. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Cheers for the comments guys. I decided this week that i was going to have a light week or two. The injuries were starting to add up, particularly the hip and shoulders. I was tempted to keep going for another week or two and try for a deadlift PB, possibly even a squat PB but i think its probably wiser to drop back and let the body recover. So plan is to start squats again this friday and deadlifts the following tuesday, just moderate weight on both. I've decided to go back to the old 5x5 routine on bench for a month or so to see how that works. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Normal training shall resume tomorrow. I was only planning to have a week off but these last few days have been so busy with work, driving tests and dental appointments that i decided to have another weeks rest. Seems to have paid off, ho pain in the hip, knee, shoulders or elbows for a change.  Bench has been ticking over reasonably well. Just been doing 5x5, at the minute i'm up to 125k. | ||

One Sexy MoFo Member 101, 2470 posts | 5 x 5 with 125kg has got to be good for more than your current PB of 150kg? | ||
