I'm just taking a break from that sort of stuff, really wanna get my head down at uni and just build up a nice solid base. Hopefully put on a bit of weight too. Your progress up to the comp has been pretty good! | ||

Your progress up to the comp has been pretty good! Fair enough, probably a sensible choice tbh. You seen the u80kg ESM they have planned for next year? Reckon you'll be back in the competitiive spirit by then? | ||

I've been told that with my squat i should be doing much more on the trap bar. Will have to work on it a bit. I had sensible picks though. When I had a squat of 180 I did 220x10 on trap bar DL. I reckon you're getting the technique wrong somewhere! Kettlebell sounds hard - but surely you can always clean with two hands?? well done on the comp mate | ||

Kettlebell sounds hard - but surely you can always clean with two hands?? well done on the comp mate I guess it's partly technique and partly you have better deadlift levers over squat levers? Yea, i can clean it with 2 hands. But whenever i've seen any one handed press in comp before you have to have your second hand clear before the press. In this they allowed bracing with a second hand on the shoulder and during the beginning of the press which makes it a lot easier imo. But i was like 2nd to go so no-one before me had done this. Meh, would not have made much difference overall tbh. | ||

The rest of the judging was 100% spot on but they didn't specifically say this wasn't allowed and then one they'd allowed it ocne they had to continue to allow it. Sawyers said: No, where is that? I'm not sure, I have exams June time so will depend how well prepared I am for them! It's on fb. Think it was June time again so don't screw up your exams for it. | ||

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 26.06.2014 @ 14:59 PM by Motorbiker Light workout yesterday post comp. A truck pull really does kill you for days afterwards. Squats, 20*5, 70*4, 100*3, 120*3, belt on, 140*5, 5, 5. Felt alright. Press, 20*5, 30*4, 40*4, 50*3, 60*5, 5, 5. meh, whatever Kbell clean and push press, 28 *5, 5, 5, 5, 5 working on proper form on these. Much better after watching the others at the comp. Elbow in/down and kbell on the arm instead of elbow out/up and weight on shoulder like a dbell press... | ||

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Workout from Friday: Fronties, 20*5, 60*3, 80*3, 110*5, first time post wrist injury. Kept it light. Wrist still hurt a little afterwards. Hmmm... Bench ,paused, 20*7, 40*5, 60*3, 80*3, 90*5,5, 3f. Meh. Not bad for paused tbh. Should have aimed slightly lighter and got them all though. Deadlifts, doh, 60*5, 110*3, mixed with belt, 140*10, 10. Dead. (Pracitising high reps for 160kg*reps at next comp, want to beat 12 i did last year) Kbell clean and push press, 24*3, 32*5, lockouts quick but not held brilliantly today. 32*5(first 3 lockouts held nicely), 32*5, all final set solid Tbh if anything this is proving that if i had done the damn practise in advance of the comp enough i'd have smashed that 44kg Kbell fine and then gone onto finsih the whole medley. Nvm. | ||

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Quick session today Squats 20*7, 70*5, 100*2, 120*1, belt on, 140*1, 160*3, 2f, 1f,meh. Wanted 3*3 but optimistic after not much heavy squatting lately tbh. Press 20*5, 40*4, 50*2, 64*5f, 4, 4, 3. Meh, alright. Kinda wanted 3*5 but it's all good. 5RM only 65kg. Trap bar holds, 160kg*30 seconds, 29 seconds Practising for car hold in future comp. Dunno why this feels so damn hard compared to farmers at heavier weights. WEird. | ||

Member 4115, 1247 posts SQ 195, BP 140, DL 220555.0 kgs @ 82.5kgs UnEq | Fronties, 20*7, 60*3, 80*3, 100*3, 120*3, Wrist still not 100%. Not sure what i've done to it but i can frontie on it a little if i'm careful. bench,paused, 20*5, 40*3, 60*3, 80*3, 90*5, 5, 4f. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I hate high rep bench work. Give me triples all day. can do 100*3*3 probably paused right now. Lol. Deadlifts, doh, 70 *5, 110*3, Mixed grip, 140*2, Belt on, 160*1 straight into 180*1, nice and easy. (Practise for medley at Worthing strongest man, 180/200/220/240, will do 170/190 next week) 145*11 in 50 seconds. (Practise for 160* max reps in 60 seconds at August comp, Reckon 13 is there on the day, need to maintain pace, Will go for 150*12 next week) Kbell clean and push press, 28*3, 32*1, 40*1, video'd, 40*1, 1 Whilst this is awesome it just proves that the only reason i didn't finish the medley is because i was too stupid to practise the damn kbell pressing enough before the comp.
