In a way though I guess that's a good thing, because next week I should be much stronger when conditions are better. Think 200kg will be easy come comp day, shooting for a 220kg squat now  | |||

Post Edited: 13.04.2016 @ 04:45 AM by Floobler 07/01/16Deadlift 70kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 3 140kg x 2 Add belt & straps 160kg x 2 175kg x 5 175kg x 5 175kg x 5 175kg x 5 175kg x 5 Barbell rows 70kg x 10 Add straps 90kg x 10 100kg x 8 PB 100kg x 8 Pullups Bodyweight x 8 Bodyweight x 8 - this was bothering my neck injury so I left it there DB rows 30kg's x 10 Add straps 40kg's x 10 50kg's x 12 PB Reverse pec dec 145lbs x 12 145lbs x 10 115lbs x 15 Happy, heaviest 5x5 I've ever done on deadlifts. First 2-3 sets were super easy, last 2 were quite hard but still not to failure. Also need to avoid the gym at peak times, was ridiculously busy today so I couldn't get on the platform, had to pull from the very spongy gym floor which wasn't ideal. Thinking about doing England's strongest junior in June, so trying to really build my deadlift up in the background for that. | |||

Post Edited: 04.01.2016 @ 06:40 AM by Floobler 04/01/16Squat 60kg x 5 90kg x 5 120kg x 5 Add belt 140kg x 4 155kg x 4 165kg x 4 PB 165kg x 4 165kg x 4 165kg x 6 PB - shows the power of getting psyched up! Standing BB calf raises 100kg x 10 120kg x 10 140kg x 8 150kg x 8 160kg x 8 PB 165kg x 6 PB Glute ham raise Bodyweight x 10 +15kg x 10 PB +15kg x 10 +20kg x 8 PB Rolling thunder 20kg x 3 40kg x 2 50kg x 1 60kg x 1 60kg x 1 62.5kg x 1 PB Training went really well today. Wanted 165 for a 4x4 which would have been a PB, so to hit 6 reps on the last set was fantastic. Played some loud slipknot and got into rage mode, the weight started flying up! Other stuff went well also, struggled with the left hand on rolling thunder for the last few sets, probably have at least another 10kg in me on the right. | |||

Deadlifts were easy (had 2-3 reps in the tank every set) and got some good back assistance work in afterwards. Best ever set of 5 is 180kg, hope to hit that for a 5x5 soon. | |||

Billytheold said:Got to get the yoke in. Comp weight didn't look to bad though. It looks like you'll do fine. Thanks, yeah I reckon a few sessions with the yoke and that weight should be alright for me. Thinking about going to yorkshire strongman training for some practice with the events | |||
