| Still no plates. I might just do squat + bench on Friday and wait till next week to test the DL. In the meantime, some dicking around: HSPU practice Snatch grip dl's, triples up to 100kg, nothing too heavy, focusing on technique. Workout: 12 minute AMRAP of 10 hang clean high pulls (40kg) 10 push-press (40kg) 10 box jumps (32" or thereabouts) 5 rounds + 9 high-pulls. No rush, moderate pace, tidy jumps with a light landing. | |||

Fatpete said: granty said:incredible raw power. Not disputing that. Maybe that's all that matters for gym lifts? I may be wrong, but people b**ch the most about high squats when they're done in a competition where the rules of that competition don't seem to have been followed. Out of competition, whether or not you "count" borderline squats and hitched deadlifts is really up to you. | |||

| Andrew Davies: pushing Bob Dylan into early (???) retirement one song at a time. Nice lifting, all. Disconcerting soundtrack. | |||

| You know you guys are my favourite outside eye, it's just that I usually do my stuff in a corner while the Cross**tters are flailing around, so it's not easy to find a spot for both me and a camera. | |||

| I'll give them a try John. Although my regular deads tend to be semi-stiff-leggies already. Nick, that's how I'm doing them in my mind. I'll try to get an outside eye. | |||

I'm probably doing them wrong and rounding my back or something. I know how I SHOULD be doing them. I'll try to get some footage or ask someone to take a look. Any kind of deadlifting bothers my lower back these days anyway.  | |||

Wiegieboard said: There's a big big difference in skill and capability between a 6 and a 7. Damn right. I never got any better than 6a, partly because I creep up the damn things afraid I'll fall and get all tense and tired for nothing. Haven't climbed on top of anything other than the missus in years, though. There seems to be absolutely f**k all lifting going on here. Is this by design? | |||

| Cycle 4 Week 3 * Deadlifts 146x5, 166x3, 184x10 b**chass 11th rep played hard to get. Back didn't feel safe. Canned it. * Romanian DLs 105x10x2 Dislike these, can't get a good feel for them and they bother my back. Maybe I just need to do them more often. * Snatch grip deadlifts, with straps 105x1+1+1+1+1 Weak as a kitten, uncomfortable, rubbish. Gonna have to change that if I ever want to snatch a measly 100kg. * 6-pack special Various forms of ab-core awesomeness | |||
