The other stuff was ok but at least I can actually strict and push press somewhere near I could before my arm got all snapped up.


What had you done to your arm?

650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq		Not entirely sure. Think I damaged my brachioradialis on the right arm doing axle clean and press back in July and then made it worse on the viking press ar ssm u90 and just hasn't recovered properly.

Hips still sore. New bar arrived today so decided to do deadlifting a day early. Bad decision!!

70x10
120x8
160x6
200x3 Was struggling to get in the right position.
262.5xf Came off the floor easy enough but hit my knees on the way up and it wouldn't go any further, too big a jump maybe.
260xf
250xF
WTF is happening
230x3 better
240x2 second was much better
250xf Absolute s**t!! Not happy with myself at all, this should be routine by now but I couldn't break the floor.
Right lat felt all knotted up and painful when breathing in so had to stop. Just proves once and for all that I cannot train in the day, my body doesn't work until after 7pm.

Take it easy mate with the injury
200 straight to 262.5 in my opinion is too big a jump mate

I thought that as soon as I tried to pull. I just wasn't warmed up for that kind of weight.
Got the wife to rub deep heat in last night and apparently theres a big lump on my right lat.

Done,
Happy with tonight after Tuesdays Deadlift snappage. Took a couple of sets to warm into the work set but the last 2 felt really good. Speed work seems to be going well and really helping the form. Benching was not so good, haven't done close grip heavy for a while and it showed.

Wasn't intending to train today but my mate wanted to train so I messed about a bit.

Strict Press
50x10
60x10
70x7
75x6
Power Jerk (techwork)
75x5 x3
Split Jerk(tech work)
77.5x5 x2

Shrugs
70x10
120x10
160x8
180x8
200x6
220x10
240x10 LOL. Just wanted to see what I could doTongue

Finished with some gun pumping and leg raises.

Pressing was down from benching last night but it felt good to do some tech work.
Shrugs were a laugh to see what I could do. Conclusion: think I need more weights.

On the bench, my close bench is about shoulder width. Wide grip is probably 2-3"in from the end of the bar. Weight wise, if I train CGBP consistently my 1RM is the same.
