Post Edited: 05.10.2012 @ 23:00 PM by Bim Friday 05/10/12Squats 60x10 100x10 140x5 180x3 215x5 - pb 215x5 215x5 215x5 215x5 Hard! Was very close to failure on a couple of the last reps. 220x5x5 next week is the goal, looking forward to it  Deads with bands, take 50kg off the bottom of the lift 100x10 140x5 180x3 220x3 240x1 260x1 280x1 pretty smooth pull 290x1 Hard, big hitch just for the last couple of inches. 300xf Didn't really get it moving properly, should have stopped at 290 tonight. 270x3 hitched last rep. I usually do these before Squats and it made a difference, just felt a bit more f**ked throughout. Forearm tendons were giving me quite a bit of pain by the end of tonight for the first time in a while. Well pleased with the Squats tonight, thought I might fail the set going in to it, disappointed with the deads but I was just tired for them. | |||

| Thursday 04/10/12 Bench BarxLots 60x10 100x10 140x5 170x5 170x5 170x5 170x4 170x5 170x4 The 170's were all with varying grip, little finger to index finger on the smooth ring. Both sets of 4 were close, should get 6 sets next week. 150x9 - 10 on these next week Strict Press from Rack Barx10 40x10 60x10 80x5 90x3 100x1 105x4 - pb 105x3 105x3 both 3's were close to a 4th rep. A lot better than last week. Push Press from Rack 80x5 80x5 80x5 100x3 110x1 120x1 130x1 140xff 140xff 140xff I managed to lock out my left arm on one of these, but couldn't lock my other arm out. Right until the last rep I thought I was going to get it, they were really close. Think I'll drop back to some trebles on 130 for a week or two then have another crack. Pressups x 20 with 20kg on my back Easy, but pretty good on the tri's Front raise with a 25kg plate, side raises with 10kg plates. x10x10 x10x10 x10x10 Cuffs, internal, external x20x20 x20x20 x20x20 High Pulls x20 x20 x20 x10 barbell curls Done. Good session tonight, didn't feel too good going into the session, but put up some decent numbers. Shoulders were feeling pretty f**ked by the end, and my legs were feeling it by the last set of push presses. | |||

But as you bring up both in the session, doing deads after squats seems fine. If anything it cuts down on warm ups for the deads. (This maybe different for much stronger people though) What baffles me is this group of old powerlifters that train at my gym (all used to compete and still lift fairly big) they often do squats AFTER deadlifts. Now that is just mental. It's the opposite for me, if I hammer squats that's me done for the day, but if I hammer deads I can squat after. | |||

| 5 - 8, if I get less than about 7 it effects how I train. I work from home a lot of the time though so I can sometimes get my head down for an hour during the day which can help a lot. | |||

LeedsMiniPower said:Ta pal, hows your deads at the moment they seem strong. You going to nail a 300 pull? Well I'm getting better at deads with bands that's for sure . I'll get a 300 pull using bands in the next couple of weeks I think, but they make it a LOT easier off the floor which gives you more momentum throughout the lift. It's going to be interesting going back to normal deads in a few weeks time to see how much it has helped as I haven't done any normal ones for a month or so, hopefully it's helped my lockouts a lot which is where I have problems.To be honest I've been stuck at 270 for about 10 months now so I would be very happy with 280. 300 is a big target for me but I don't think I'll get it for a couple of years but we'll see! | |||

| Thursday 27/09/12 Bench LotsxBar 60x10 100x8 140x5 170x5 170x5 felt hard, only just managed it 170x5 took my hands a bit wider, felt a lot better 170x5 170x3 pulled my hands back in again. 150x5 150x5 Managed one more set of 170's than last week, felt good tonight. Strict Press out of rack Barx10 40x10 60x10 80x5 90x3 100x1 105x2 105x2 100x5 100x5 100x5 I was trying to get 3's or 4's on the 105 but I was way off. Pretty surprised I managed to drop back and do the 100x5x3, does 5kg really make that much difference??? Push Press out of rack 100x5 110x3 120x1 130x1 Jump to 140, thanks Sob 140xfxf 140xfxf last rep on this was sooooo close. I was fighting to lock it out for a good couple of seconds but just ran out of steam. Really pleased despite the failure as it was a lot closer than I thought it would be. I'll get it in a couple of weeks I think. Rotator Cuffs Cable Internal Rotation, then Cable External Rotation, then High Pulls x20x10x20 x20x10x20 x20x10x20 Done | |||
