Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Monday 3rd December Bit tired today, my lad sleeps like a devil! Also works is being a pain, management like getting loads of work and theres no one to do it! Hiring more engineers aint going well either. Oh well. Strict Press 20kg/5 47.5kg/5,5,5,5,5 working a little harder Squat 20kg/5 60kg/5 100kg/2 116kg+20kg chain/3,3,3 Belt on, quite fast - pleased with these 140kg/1 Not fast but only a slight grind in the middle Pullups 3.5kg/5,6 Kneeling Ab wheel 0kg/5,5 Defranco Pullaparts Light band/10,10,10 KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc Very pleased with this session, the squats were good. The single was just to 'feel' some weight on my back as I find it important for confidence

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Thursday 6th December So a nasty few days with work, up at five yesterday and home at nine at night. Up at five again today and wanted to die. Close grip 4 board press 40kg/5 60kg/5 85kg/3,3,3 Getting hard now - most Ive done for 3 triples is 87.5 so getting up there Deadlift 60kg/5 100kg/5 140kg/2 Belt on 157.5kg/3 Was supposed to be 5reps 14 Inch Deadlift 157.5kg/3 Belt on, harder than from the floor - is this my weak point? 180kg/2 Was supposed to be 5reps Hang clean + Front squat combo 50kg/2+2 70kg/2+2 Bent over rows 50kg/10,10,10 Lats of peace baby KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc - I then accidentally threw it at my log and it bounced onto the floor So a good session overall. Even though my deadlifts are supposed to be 5 reps (Im following a program by Bolton) Im happy as I think recovery is bad at the moment and I set the % against my 210 dead. Also last weeks 170/5 was hard for the last rep which makes me think 180/2 is about right. Not sure what to do about next weeks 190 set... Heres a video of this weeks work

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Monday 10th December So I had two naps yesterday and was very lazy so feeling a little better My lad has woken up twice tonight allready so its going to be a rought night! Strict Press 20kg/5 40kg/3 51kg/5,5,5,5,5 Ive only done 50/5x5 before and was fresh back then so some sort of volume PB, was pretty easy too - well chuffed Squat 20kg/5 60kg/5 100kg/2 121kg+20kg chain/3,3,3 Belt on, nice and fast! Very happy - some sort of volume PB again - Ive only ever done 3x3 with 120 and no chains 145kg/1 Sweet, fast and less than 2s on the drive Pullups 3.5kg/6,6 Kneeling Ab wheel 0kg/5,5 Defranco Pullaparts Light band/12,12,12 KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc Overall a very good session, buzzing after this.

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 13.12.2012 @ 21:52 PM by bryce Training Thursday 13th December So my lad slept terribly a couple of night ago and quite well last night so Im not sure how fked I am . Started doing some more sleep training with him so hopefully he will behave a bit better. Close grip 4 board press 40kg/5 60kg/5 70kg/2 90kg/3,3,3 Very nice, felt hard but looked good Deadlift 60kg/5 100kg/5 140kg/2 Belt on 167.5kg/2 Felt hard, looked at video and it was easy - should have done a triple as planned 14 Inch Deadlift 167.5kg/2 Belt on 190kg/1F2 Shouldnt have attempted to do a 2nd rep, although stopped just as it broke. First one quite hard but still 3s for the lift. Hang clean + Front squat combo 50kg/2+2 80kg/2+2 Bent over rows 50kg/12,12,12 Burn baby burn KB work** 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc - was sick a little in my mouth at one point So training seems to be going really well, but deadlift seems to be very off. Not sure why - is it recovery as Ive been doing some circuits on tuesday and my lad isnt sleeping well. Also Ive set my % against my 210 dead which was on a whippy bar and was back when I was stronger at deads. Hmmmmm, not sure what to do next week for deads and try to get back up to my best and beyond. Any ideas anyway?

You just haven't been training with enough weight for ages. A few weeks with proper weights on squat and dead and you'll be firing.

Thanks rodge, its my garage (well its rented really). You thinking about making something? I remember viewing this house and standing in the garage with my hands over my head to see if it was tall enought. Estate agent thought I was odd.

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Tuesday 18th December So nearly time to break up for 2 weeks - thank god! But it means lots of work still to do and my lad woke up at 3 this morning and went back to sleep at half four. I got up for work at five Strict Press 20kg/5 40kg/3 53.5kg/5,4,4,4,4 Dropped from 5s as the first set was getting close to failure, a very sensible decision. Probably some sort of volume PB Squat 20kg/5 60kg/5 100kg/2 126kg+20kg chain/3,3,3 Belt on. Sweeet sets, reasonably fast and comfy. Knee hurt after the second set and Im had to think hard whether to continue. Managed to get it right and knee is fine. 180kg/Walkout You would almost think someone started a thread about these Pullups 6kg/4,4 Kneeling Ab wheel 0kg/5,5 Defranco Pullaparts Light band/12,12,12 KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc Overall a very pleasing session, happy days. Not sure what to do for the next few weeks - my 6 week program ends this week so I may just keep going and see where I end up or just do some singles for a few weeks. Hmmmmmm.

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Friday 21st December So Im now off work for 2 weeks, woooo!!!! So Ive been thinking about my deadlift stance and it used to be wider so I tried it tonight. Close grip 4 board press 40kg/5 60kg/5 80kg/2 95kg/3,3,3 A volume PB of sorts Deadlift 60kg/5 Felt good in the new stance 100kg/5 Felt fast 140kg/3 Belt on, fast again 177.5kg/2 Very nice 14 Inch Deadlift 177.5kg/1 Belt on 195kg/F Arse, not sure where to go now. Got it moving though Hang clean + Front squat combo 60kg/2+2 80kg/2+2 Firstly it was a misload, meant to be 85 and then on the first clean I hit my chest on the way up. Arse Bent over rows 55kg/8,8,8 KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc A good session apart from the 14inchers, defo seems to be my weak point. I think I will continue the cycle and drop the 14inchers back to 180kg and try for a triple.

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Monday 24th December So morning training for once as Im off work. Feeling quite refreshed even though my lad woke me up for a few hours last night As it was morning I took some caffiene to help pep me up Strict Press 20kg/5 40kg/3 56kg/4,4,4,4,4 Sweet! Some sort of volume PB. Very happy with these Squat 20kg/5 60kg/5 100kg/2 Bit sore on lower back 120kg/1 Belt on, bit sore on lower back - stopped and did some stretching which I normally do but didnt get the chance 131kg+20kg chain/2,2,2 Very happy with these, quite fast - knee a little sore on the last 2 sets but stretched it out ok 190kg/Walkout only Pullups 6kg/4,5 Kneeling Ab wheel 0kg/5,5 Defranco Pullaparts Light band/12,12,12 KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc A very pleasing pre xmas session - what a present Glad with how the squat cycle has gone - 7 weeks going from 90kg/3x5 to 131kg/3x2 with chains.

Juice loose aboot this hoose Member 1401, 3962 posts SQ 160, BP 107.5, DL 210 477.5 kgs @ 88kgs UnEq	Training Thursday 27th December Post crimbo training after being dragged around the shops. Boooo! Shoulders a little sore so a bit concerned for my benching Close grip 4 board press 40kg/5 60kg/5 80kg/2 100kg/2,2,2 First sit not very good pauses, second set sweet! Third set a little ropey on the set up with the weight in the wrong part of my palm. Some sort of volume PB Deadlift 60kg/5 100kg/5 140kg/3 Belt on 160kg/1 185kg/1 Sweet. Could have done more but left it to be safe. Will keep adding 2.5-5kg for a few weeks, it was probably the best tech for a dead of this weight for me. Left 14inch deads this week as I dont think its helping at the moment. Hang clean + Front squat combo 60k/2+2 85kg/2+2 Very hard on the core on the fronts! Bent over rows 55kg/10,10,10 Lat pumptastic, this seems to be helping my deadlift I think KB work 5 minutes of swings/juggling/snatches etc A pleasing session, still some room to increase the weights over the next few weeks.
