| Unless I stretch mboth statically and dynamically before squatting then this happens. I end up with tightness across the front of my foot. The more I stretch and warm up anything feels! | |||

| Thanks mate. Pushing me to squat twice a week was a really good idea. Had a bit of a moment with a muppet at the gym today. He asked for a spot on 160kg and told me he was going to do 3 reps. He dropped it about an inch then took a good 3 or 4 seconds to try and press it. I then helped him rack it. As I walked away shaking my head I heard a muttering behind me so leaned over and asked what was he saying. He said, rather stupidly, 'you should have spotted me'. He actually looked annoyed that I didn't help him on his first 1 inch rep and then looked even more annoyed when I explained that a spotter was there for safety reasons. The place really winds me up sometimes! | |||

| Squats 125kg x 6,6,6 Speed DL 140kg x 5 x 3 SLDL 140kg x 3 x 10,6 Weird how I found 125kg x 8 easy after a heavy triple but would have really struggled today | |||

| Couple of updates. Tuesday was not the best session ever. I felt like s**t, had a long day at work and struggled to squat 120kg for 3 sets of 5. But I felt great for just getting in and getting some reps done. Wed: CGBP 90kg x 3 100kg x 3 90kg x 3 One arm row 60kg x 4 x 5 DB press 38kg x 8,8,7 Bent over row 80kg x 5 x 10 Today: Squat 125kg x 3 135kg x 3 145kg x 3 - 3 rep PB 125kg x 8 DL from mid shin 170kg x 3 190kg x 3 210kg x 3 Wide stance GMss 82.5kg x 3 x 8 Really good session. Squatting twice a week is definitely helping | |||

Beard_Of_Iron said:nice deadlifts, close grips and squats Dave! Thanks I had another good day with the DL today: 190kg x 1 210kg x 1 225kg x 1 240kg x 1 - PB 245kg x f The 240kg felt fine. I thought I had the 245kg in me but apparently I didn't  Farmers 90kg x 20-25m 110kg x 20-25m - massive PB compared to last week Fat grip farmers 70kg x 20-25m 90kg x 20-25m and 20m 2 drops on the first run, one on the second. Plan for the next couple of weeks is speed DLs and SLDLs on Monday, DLs from my sticking point on Thurs and GMs then test my PB at OSG every 2 or 3 weeks. 245kg would have gone if I didn't go for 240kg. Next time I'll go straight for 250kg. Smalls has bet me a fiver I don't get 260kg at Dragons 3 or before. That's all the motivation I need | |||

vausie said:nice to c u again dave farmers looked very solid mate Thanks mate, definitely want to nail 120kg at Dragons 3. Monday DL 180kg x 11 I felt like s**t, squatted 100kg first but I kept coming over my right foot again. My leg is all sorts of twisted again. I was going to call it day but got challenged to reps on 180 dling. Glad I did. Tue CGBP 102.5kg x 2,2 36kg DBs x 10,10,7 Tri extensions One arm row 55kg x 5 x 5 Today I took my stance out wider and it felt a lot better. A lot, lot better. Nice deep squats, all the weight through my heels. Went up to 150kg x 1 then down to 120kg x 5 Dl from shin 200kg x 3 Wide stance GMs 80kg x 8,8 TKEs and then split squats, 10 x BW, 10 x 10kg DBs, 10kg x 22kg DBs More stretching, more single leg stuff needed. Stretched for 30mins last and it really helped today. | |||

| I came up with the bright idea of cycling 20km, mostly uphill, against the wind to OSG today. Kinda took it out of me. Might not do that again. Log x a few. First time, used a small log, I could strict press it easier than trying to push press it. Farmers 60kg x 2 x 20m 80kg x 20m 100kg x 20m 110kg x 10-15m Yoke 180kg x 20m 220kg x not very far Farmers feel natural, Yoke doesn't. Need a bit of practice on it | |||

| Saturday really took it out of me, I did nothing yesterday and felt like doing nothing today but I got to the gym and after about 20mins of squatting 60kg I started to feel a lot better: Squats 115kg x 6 x 3 The first couple of sets felt hard, the last couple easy. I think I need to do something active the day after a heavy session because my first bit of squatting in the week is always harder than it should be. SLDLs 130kg x 10,10,10,9 Walking lunges 30kg x 8,7,6,6 | |||

Post Edited: 28.05.2011 @ 20:04 PM by Dave85 I'll happily watch a decent game of football but I struggle with the diving, the dramatics and the behaviour towards the ref | |||
