Events wise you could go light and hammer home your technique. It really bugs me when mates are in trouble. I can squat mate but not heavy, can deadlift lightly I reckon? I've got some bands and was thinking of deadlifting with them friday to see how it goes. Yea i'll keep trying to do a bit of everything but all light speed/technique work. | ||

⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq | Tuesday 9th April 2013 Pressing with Mr Al - Tonight Dawson Towers was blessed with the presence of Mr Al for a pressing session in the Ginger ones gym. Was looking forward to getting a good pressing session in to see how much the couple of weeks had effected my strength. Strict Press - Bar x loads 60kg x 8 80kg x 2 90kg x 1 Push press 100kg x 1 105kg x 1 115kg x 1 Was a lot better than expected. 115kg felt quick and snappy but dare not go any heavier! Bench - 60kg x 12 100kg x 5 110kg x 2 120kg x 1 130kg x 1 140kg x 1 The 140kg was a struggle! Bench always goes to s**t if I stop training it for a couple of weeks. Seated Overhead Press - 60kg x 3 80kg x 2 85kg x 2 90kg x 2 95kg x 2 All these felt good  Really enjoyed that session, good to train with Mr Al as always and very happy with the way it went. | ||

 my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | That's a good session. I'm pretty sure fast explosive push presses can only be a good thing. | ||

Hopefully so, my pressing strength hasn't depleted as much as I anticipated which can only be good I suppose. | ||

⚽ Member 3634, 2381 posts SQ 227.5, BP 175, DL 250652.5 kgs @ 143kgs UnEq | Monday 15th April 2013 Squats/Conditioning - Had to go in a different direction with my training due to my glass back so no heavy squatting or deadlifting for the foreseeable future. Lighter weight, high rep conditioning s**t instead for me then! About time I got my fat arse into gear I suppose. Squats - Bar x loads 70kg x 15 90kg x 12 130kg x 1 130kg x 2 150kg x 6 130kg x 10 110kg x 2 Back was feeling a little tight so gave left the 110kg a miss, wanted to get 15 but i'll try again next week. Boxing Pad work 3 rounds, 3 minutes each with 3 minutes rest. All different combos of cross, jabs, hooks and uppercuts. Last round was a mix of 5 punches then either 5 press ups, star jumps, burpees, knee to chests. f**k me did I under estimate how hard that was going to be! Was absolutely f**ked by the end of it but was fun punching the s**t out of something lol! Kettlebell Tabata - Kettlebell Snatches 20 seconds work, 10 seconds rest for 8 rounds swapping arms each round. Tabata was quite hard but could have done with more weight. Absolutely shattered after that though! Enjoyed it, was good to find a different form of cardio. Will be mixing this sort of stuff along with barbell complexes, keg runs and going to try get myself a bike to get some steady state stuff in. Will continue to try press heavy to maintain strength but back is going to stop any sort of squatting/deads progress for awhile. | ||

Should see some good fat loss and big fitness gains. TBH that's what gave me an edge in that comp, we're pretty even, I was just that bit fitter. Are you still training events? | ||

Feel better for it though. That's what i'm hoping for mate think fitness cost me in a couple of comps last year so is something I really need to work on. I am going to try but got to be careful and go light! You down for a session soon? | ||
