| Forgot to mention, if anybody suffers from inner or outer shinsplints/soreness, I can't express enough just how much a tight pair of socks can help. Literally pain free. I wasn't exactly in agony with it before, but no pain is better than some pain... | |||

Oxman said:Well done on getting the 5x5 mate, must have felt harder than it looked as it looked easy! Strong stuff mate! Thanks mate! Just fatigue, first thing to go with me is the speed when I'm fatigued... so it made the lifts much harder from the first set to the last, although I'm sure everyone is affected by this! | |||

Post Edited: 05.05.2014 @ 12:04 PM by AMH_Power Todays Session, Week 4 Squat Session 1Bar x 10 60 x 5 140 x 2 180 x 1 205 x 5 205 x 5 205 x 5 205 x 5 205 x 5 No assistance. Video of final Set: The video looks a lot easier than it felt. My 3rd set felt very fast, whereas the final set felt like a pure grind; despite how it looks on the video. I'm on the fence whether to increment again, or proceed to 4x4. I will let tomorrows bench session dictate. If I fail bench then I will proceed to 4x4 to keep both the lifts inline, if bench is easy then I'll increment again. ps. This is a pb for 5x5, previous was 195. | |||

Oxman said: Big weights for 5x5 mate! I am trying to perfect my new high bar form, its getting there, still have a tendancy to fall forwards when weight gets heavier but its improving! Yeah I think that happens to all of us... I found out recently just how important it is to push the elbows forwards to help stop unnecessary lean.... See if it helps save me from defeat tomorrow! | |||

Oxman said:Lovely lifting there mate. Thanks mate, will keep uploading. Not looking forwards to squat tomorrow, 5x5@205. Possible fail inbound... I'll video it regardless. | |||

nails said:Ha we've all been there mate, you make sure the kids are ok and you take a real smack. Yeah haha, proper slid ass over tit and swung my arm to the side to break my fall only to hit a rock with my wrist! Thankfully not too bad. | |||

| Todays Session, Week 3 Bench Session 2: Weighed myself this morning, 95.6kg @ 19.4% BF Bar x 8 60 x 5 100 x 2 140 x 1 140 x 2 140 x 2 140 x 2 160 x 2 160 x 2 160 x 2 Deadlift: 30 singles @ 100kg Had to do 140 for a few sets as I hurt my wrist falling down a hill at the park to prevent my little on face diving into a nettle bush! Kids!!! Anyway, after 2 or 3 sets it didn't feel too bad. Video from set 5 below, a bit conservative to nurse wrist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNr7mTbtbSE&feature=youtu.be Link format doesn't work for the embed... if any gurus can I'd appreciate it. Cheers | |||

tz1127 said: Holy s**t... How long did that take you? My squats took about 20 mins, deadlift about an hour! I'm doing it purely to irradicate me letting my knees drift forwards, I need to keep my hips higher until the top third so I can hinge my hips through the lift. Previous to this I sort of squatted while holding on the bar. I have no doubt that I'll hit a much bigger pb at the end of this routine, but need to engrave the movement so it's second nature. I'll do this everyday until my heavy deadlift day holds this form naturally, not forced. | |||

| Todays Session: Week 3 Squat 2. Bar x 2 100 x 2 140 x 2 200 x 2 200 x 2 200 x 2 200 x 2 200 x 2 200 x 2 Deadlift, 30 singles with 60kg purely for new movement pattern/flushing. Tomorrows session, bench. | |||

| Todays session was extra, and was done for recovery from last nights deadlift. Deadlift: 100 Singles @ 60kg. I need to make the movement second nature, I'm not hinging my hips as I should, so movement pattern is paramount for me, and will continue to do this on my rest days. Lots of foam rolling, and some rotator cuff work. Although last nights session was steady, today I was in turbo s**t state. So I'm making the decision to replace my X sets of Y on deadlift days, with working up to a final set Y. So next week, instead of 5x5@220, I will simply work up in 5's untill I hit 5x220kg. This shouldn't impact gains too hard, but should help with recovery/sciatica (and I will continue to have a flushing day to ensure enough practise). Tomorrows session, Squat. | |||

| Week 3 deadlift 1 60 x 2 100 x 5 140 x 3 215 x 5 215 x 5 215 x 5 215 x 5 215 x 5 This was pretty hard, but recovering between sets as well as I'd like. May consider a smaller increment next week so the deload falls in line with squat deload, as I predict this failing before squat. No accessory work Cheers | |||

Post Edited: 30.04.2014 @ 10:47 AM by AMH_Power IrishMarc said:I really don't think diet is crucial to performance certainly not as a strength athlete. Sufficient calories and protien (spaced throughout the day perhaps), everything else is pretty much noise as long as your not malnourished. x2. Absolute sense. ps. As a note on looking well, it doesn't need to be complex. If you can't grow it or kill it, don't eat it. | |||

MattD90 said: I think your squat is really close to your deadlift because you look like you're more of a natural squatter type build, just a theory of mine. I don't know why but people get really pissy when this is suggested, as if it implies lack of hard work on one of the lifts or something. Anyway I'm probably wrong. Regardless, i enjoy reading this log. I agree totally, long spine....short legs, heavy head haha But, I have some hope...I have deceptively long arms! Might not look it on my bench vids as I retract my shoulder blades well and have quite thick arm bones! The drive to succeed and an indomitable will trumps any lever length though, so I'd never say anyone isn't suited to one lift etc, we all know that according to the laws of physics a bumble bee can't fly... | |||
