| Had a sports massage Yesterday afternoon, and it was extremely beneficial, really was decent, the therapist said to me that I was very tight all on the right side which didn't surprise me as that's were I get alot of the pain and tightness. It's really helped my problems though and I'm feeling great I must admit. | |||

Post Edited: 01.09.2012 @ 12:05 PM by strengthathlete Today's session as of planned: 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 60kg, I normally go arse today but just trying to break parrell and get it right. 1x5 on 90kg 1x5 on 105kg 1x3 on 115kg 1x2 on 125kg, not feeling to bad here fairly fast from the base still getting good depth. 1x2 on 135kg, video to follow, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjvbwWeLjBs&feature=youtu.b... not as easy as should be, will probably go 130 opener, 140 second left I can normally do 3 on 135 and have way before up to comp, which makes me think I've peaked to fecking early. Hoping the rest will get me back to normal. Drop set: 1x5 on 115kg Took out 155kg and stood back went down 3-4 inches getting rib cage use to that weight. Really hoping for 145-147.5kg maybe really do hope for it. BenchPress: 1x6 on bar paused 1x5 on 40kg paused. 1x5 on 60kg paused, Getting good speed, fecking knackered after the squats! 1x3 on 70kg paused. 1x1 on 82.5kg paused, normally get 3 on this weight only went for 1 as it is and was tough. Will do bench session Tuesday and that will be it. video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kujCIBRsmQ0&feature=youtu.b... 1x2 on 80kg, paused. Incline Bench: 3x8 on 40kg Calf Raises: 2x10 on 120kg 1x10 on 90kg Speed Deads: 1x8 on 100kgs hands forward, very fast. 1x8 on 100kgs hands forward very fast. Finished with Leg Extensions: 3x10 on 15kg, job done, and pretty satisfied all in all. [youtube] | |||

| solid stuff Macca buddy, I am in the same comp as you mate. Fecking nervous, my lifts are pretty pathetic, but you got to start somewhere in it. I'll be doing squats tomorrow, I struggle to get spot on depth I go right to floor which is not good really as it makes so tough. | |||

| Right Last Squat session and can't say it was particularly satisfying didn't feel great and just can't understand what happened?! I seriously hope I've not over peaked as normally I can do 3 on today's weight I went up to fairly comfortably and yet today 1 was a really fecking hard struggle. Abit worrying should I lower the weight and play safe!? Advice would be good. Squats: 1x6 on bar 1x6 on bar 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 90kg 1x3 on 105kg 1x2 on 115kg Should be easier than what it happened to be. 1x1 on 125kg this felt not too bad and was happy. 1x1 on 135kg Opener normally do 3 easy or comfortable without a sweat, today 1 rep was fecking tough and dear went for a secound. I am worried I've over peaked this could be a disaster don't want to bomb out of the British, having second thoughts about comp now, But it was easy as pie before to know I could open on it, didn't feel fresh and can only put it down to a bad day, But you don't want to be having that day on the Biggest day of your life do you?! Was hoping to do 145 for a double yeah dream on, did a single on that a few weeks ago, not that badly, and definitely wouldn't of got it today, just didn't feel right, Nor strong, it's putting me off this comp know.  Leg extensions: 1x10 on 40kg 1x10 on 40kg 1x10 on 40kg Hamstring Curls: 1x10 on 30kg 1x10 on 30kg 1x10 on 30kg Bench: 3x5 on 40kg paused, light as Friday is heavy bench and light deadlifts, Disappointing session today, was hoping for 157.5kg in this comp, it just aint going to happen, I guess if I get 145kg in this comp I should be happy it's equal pb in gym, and 15kg more than last comp, and only weigh a 1kg more. No more squatting until comp know, I hope after fridays heavy bench and light deadlifts, I got 8 days of solid food and rest, and pray by that time I'll be fresh and back to normal. Would be a shame if I didn't do it as I've trained so f**king hard for this comp. | |||
