Post Edited: 06.06.2008 @ 10:04 AM by littlegirlbunny Matt - you are a sanity saver. I thought for a minute I would have to start thinking about work today There is a square house, the walls face south. There is a bear coming towards the house, what colour is it? He must be a Polar bear!!!!!!! = So white and another There is a man lying dead in a field, he has a backpack on him. Although there are no injuries to see, the cause of death is obvious. How did he die? Stopped breathing? and finally A woman and her husband raced through the city streets. The man got out of the car, all the doors and windows were locked. When he got back to the car his wife was dead and there was a stranger in the car. What happened? Ok, this one is hard....maybe the funeral car was late. | |||

What no more??  The excitment of logging onto Sugden to see what new dingbat Martin would provide has already become an integral part of my workday. You can't stop now!!!! | |||

This week has been pretty much back off week - but I have managed to have a play with band training. I only have one little band - but it worked fine. Took a while to get used to stabilising the bar at the top of the move (as in, getting use to the fact it felt like the bar was desperately trying to smack me in the face) but really like the feel of driving against the resistance at the top of the lift. Band training is fun  Today is also going to be a fun day....I'm carb loading for tommorow's 12 hour race Tommorow, on the other hand, may be painful. I have to at least try not to come off the bike as it appears people at work are starting to get concerned that Adam is slapping me about  | |||

| Joni - I'm surprised and shocked at this blatently discriministic behaviour from a man who should know better. I mean, I am a totally offended council estate scally myself | |||

Martin1956 said: Tonight's offering Issues Issues Issues Issues Issues Issues Issues Issues Issues Issues and 10 10 2 10 10 Martin, you have to stop doing this or I am never going to be able to concentrate on work lol! So far I have come up with diddly squat for the above two. The best I can think of so far is 1) Too many issues (or something similar) 2) Tens and Twos (as in poker) But they seem to obvious and not satisfyingly complete like most of the dingbats so i'm guessing i'm wrong! | |||

MattGriff said: Yeah fine, this is what I do and it does beat the crap out of your front delts, but that is also why I have a good bench, strong delts,triceps and lats are the real key to bench power. You could alternatly drop the number of sets and build up that way. Yeah - that's also an option. I have a think about it for a week. The other thing I thought was maybe alternating the last two each session. | |||

| Cheers Matt MattGriff said: Heavy Day – Raw bench warm up Board Presses various boards various weights 5 sets building over around 6 weeks to a max triple Close Grip Bench 3-4 sets 5 reps Incline or Wide grip bench 3-4 sets max 8 reps Dips/declines 3-4 sets max 8 reps Woooh that's an awful lot of benching 4 exercises in one session If it wasn't for the board presses at the start I would worry you are trying to turn me into a bodybuilder....You cannot be serious????????? That's about 3 times my normal volume (but then that might explain why my bench is so dire at the moment lol) Speed day Band Presses 5 – 8 sets of around 3 reps moving to a max double Shoulder press – push press is the best as you need speed to lock the f**kers out Gay rotator cuff s**t Ok - I have bands somewhere so I can dig them out. Quite fancy band training on bench - think it might be fun. End of, no massive volume should be needed when training for powerlifting, we are not endurance athletes. Admittedly my benching is more geared towards shirted benching, but to be fair the principles are the same, band work teaches control and speed and the boards can be utilised lower than I would use down to max triples off a 1 board etc, this will massively bring up your raw bench by overloading the shoulders and triceps while the wides, dips etc hit the chest with heavy weight or in a weak area. Heavy day is massive volume for me - would it work if I loose the dips/decline off the end of that lot. I know my crap shoulders wont be able to take that kind of volume without getting f**ked up before the end of the cycle. Otherwise it seems great - just what I needed Cheers! SUNDAY: More cycling - proper mudfest stuff in the depths of the unknown MONDAY: Warm-up 15 mins Rack Pulls from knee height (no heavy leg work allowed this week) 20 kg: Warm up sets 60 kg: 8, 8 90 kg: 3, 3 100 kg: 3, 3, 3 (felt heavier than I was expecting - clearly a sticking point somewhere here - but at least my back was flat for once) Rows Squatting!!!!!!! Finally got under a squat bar so had a play with it for a bit and worked up to an easy triple with 50 kg. Thank heaven - finally, finally I can do all three lifts again | |||

Post Edited: 01.06.2008 @ 09:32 AM by littlegirlbunny Got some benching done on Friday at home - normal grip was still to painful on my shoulder....but superwide grip (little fingers on the rings) was fine so had a play.20 kg: 5 sets of 10 with different grips etc. 25 kg: 6 30 kg: 6, 6 35 kg: 4, 4, 4 (paused reps) Can't get a very good set up on my crappy bench at home, but still glad to have something to work from. Now all I need is a bench cycle (if anyone fancies designing me one I wont complain.....either that or it will probably good old 5x5 again!) Oh yeah - got a 25 miler ride in the peaks yesterday and I managed to only come off once - headbutt the wall and cut my arm up. My knee was playing up again - but I'm certain I know the cause now - it's been an issue since I moved the seat position on the bike. Hopefully if I put it back again that should sort it. Now I am frantically icing the knee and shall be for the following week as it's only 6 days to go and counting! | |||

The worst incident I can remember involved a guy who thought he would show me how to push press properly (Adam and I were discussing trying to get the drive right). So this little guy comes along, presses the bar up as hard as he can - and badly smacks himself in the nose with it! | |||
