Tuesday 04/09/12 Junction session Trained with Doddy and James most of the night, then Stones with Sob Log all floor to overhead 35x10 35x10 70x8 90x3 100x1 110x3 110x3 110x3 100x7 Very happy with log tonight, far better than last week. I've had a bit of trouble when I've been knackered on Log recently with the log going up and slightly backwards on the press. It causes me to lose my balance on lockout and fail the lift sometimes. Tonight I started trying to press the log out more diagonally up in front of me than strait up and it made a massive improvement. Puts it a bit more weight on the chest and feels a lot more stable, I would never have managed 100x7 without doing this. Hope it transfers to a heavier lift as well. Yoke outside. 10m runs 90x2 90x2 130x2 170x2 210x2 250x1 250x1 250x1 these 250's were all about 8 seconds 250x2 18 seconds 270x2 29 seconds, glad to finish it without any drops. As always Yoke felt hard, good session on it tonight though. Sled Drag bout 20m uphill then 20m downhill as fast as possible 40x1 80x1 120x1 160x1 Not heavy but tiring runs, quick to do as well. Tried a 300kg frame pickup with Sob and Walker, didn't shift at all. Then tried a 280kg frame pickup, it scraped the floor but it didn't lift more than a touch, pretty daft going into this after Yoke and without any warmups, but I had to have a go Stones 2x80 - 48" 2x100 - 48" 1x120 - 48" 1x120 - 54" fx120 - 60" 1x120 - 60" Felt hard this week, wanted a stab at 145 but after nearly blacking out on the last two 120's I decided to leave it until next week. Another good Junction session. | |||

Those Deads were with bands though, it makes the lift about 50Kg lighter off the floor and it gets gradually heavier until I have the full weight just above my knee. I always fail on lockout, so it's to try and strengthen it a bit. I do think I could probably pull 270 at the moment, but not 280. A few more weeks on these and I'll see how I progress on them. | |||

walker said: Cool, I really should do, I have a few weeks but it's just fitting it in! I know what you mean, I always feel pushed for time, you can add an extra bench set without it taking too long though. For example if you were just to add a few warm up sets then into 6 - 8 sets of 5 reps at 70 - 75% then you should be able to do it with only about a minute rest between each set. total time about 10 minutes and you've added a pretty solid bench set to your week. | |||

walker said:Strong pressing Paul. You always bench twice a week? Cheers. I have been for the last year or so, I found on once a week progression just slowed to a crawl. On a Monday I'll have my heavy day and on a Thursday I try to get in a bit more volume. | |||

I've got 14 3 the last three times I've done this now, 15th was a couple of inches from lockout but I just couldn't finish it off.

Think I'm just going to put tacky on when it gets hard next week. It was good on the lighter stones but by the time it got to the 120 it was pretty useless. My forearms are a bit scabbed up, but they are a lot better than last week. | |||
» The Walker Power (Go to post) | 29-08-2012 @ 09:18 | ||
Good effort, especially getting the 120 to the top platform, on to the 145 next week Was it your grip that went on the farmers? | |||

walker said:Good session mate, I enjoyed it. You're last Yoke was 260 though Thought it felt heavy! You were like a steam train on the lighter yoke, looked very fast. | |||

Me and Sob will be down normal time for some strongman stuff Should be down as normal, see you there. LeedsMiniPower said:You need 2 weeks off bench mate,still train chest but do some db work then start a rep cycle at 140 and work up. I might just do that depending how I train Thursday. I've never really taken it easy on bench, just kept hammering it at 90 - 95% for 5's and 3's, it seems to have worked in the past. I have been doing some pretty brutal work on it recently though and I seem to be suffering now, a change / rest might be good. | |||
