That's right, there's usually something good that gets missed.

What time are you in Friday, Jeff?

Very, very good session tonight mate.

I know that feeling, mate. It shows you care, which is a good thing as well as a bad.

Sorry about that, man. Rest, heal, dominate.

Wednesday 21st November, Adlington

Bench 20x20x2, 55x3, 70x3, 90x3, 100x3, 110x3, 120x3, 130x3, 137.5x3, 145x3 PB, 110x14.

Incline Smith Bench 60x3, 80x£, 90x3, 100x3.

Triceps Pressdown (in lbs) 55x3, 88x3, 121x3x2.

So, I no longer have a single PB Happy. Again, these got better as the sets went by, with 137.5 being nice and smooth. The first two reps with 145 were pretty easy, the last was rather tough. Happy Happy.

Peter and Aaron benched well, Joni did a huge amount of work, Mark F demonstrated his new and improved deadlifting form, and Steve was scary in a variety of lifts. Nice.

I try not to type one-handed, y'see.

Looked pretty to me. 115 is 250lbs, and you look like you have that on tap Happy.

Peter and I are usually down in the 4:30-5 range, most of the other regulars are a little earlier.

I was side spotting on your 140s so it was hard to tell, but they certainly weren't high. I think you'd actually still be better another bit lower with more speed in your dig, but that'll come with time and confidence!

Monday 19th November, Adlington

Squat 20x5x2, 70x5x2, 115x3, 145x2, 170x2, 115x5.

God I'm a wa**er. First 170 rep was dreadful. Second was fast and easy but not particularly pretty. Not getting quite enough bounce out of the bottom, and also, I think taking over-big jumps on the way up. Next week we'll do something like 115x3 135x2 150x1 160x1 170x1 180x2.

Deadlift (in pounds) 132x3, 220x3, 300x2, 350x2, 390x2, 430x2 (roughly 195kg).

And that was that. Superlative squatting from Peter, and rather good from Big Mark and Little Andy too.

Hadn't noticed that hidden away in your writeup! Hope it was a good one.

What, you think there's another Mark Felix in Britain capable of pulling over 800lbs easily?
» The Assassin (Go to post)16-11-2007 @ 21:09 
Thanks mate. No, it's a normal power bar. I have quite small hands though (for a biggish bloke).
» G.F.H. - Vegan Style (Go to post)16-11-2007 @ 21:06 
He will be missed, that's for sure.

Friday 16th November, Adlington

Arrive at 5 to see only one car outside, only Aaron and Ian left inside, and a rapidly cooling gym. No lemon coaching tonight, then...

Power clean + push press
50x3x2 it's cold
60x2 it's bloody cold
70x1 that's a bit better
75x1 very easy
80x1 scary, easiest 80 I've done by miles
85 f complete rubbish, got it utterly wrong. Nice high pull but just didn't get anywhere near under.
85x1 (no press) hard
85 f it's gone now
80 f yup

Hang power clean
50x3x2 I think these were ok, but by now I'm on my own and so they could be awful.
60x3 Very easy, but again were they any good?

Back to what I know:

Speed Bench 20x20, 70x3, 75x3, 80x3, 85x3, 90x3, 95x3, 100x3, 105x3, 110x3, 100x3, 90x3, 80x3, 70x3.

Did these with minimal rest from the first 80kg set onwards: every time the second hand points straight up, do the next set. Blowing like a train by the end.

Bloody cold.
