good work, nice pulling!

Hows the shoulder?


Shoulder is OK - getting better very slowly. There seems to still be a fair bit of inflammation/scartissue in the joint and I still don't have enough mobility in it to get under the squat bar. But apart from that and not being able to sleep on it I seem to be able to do near enough everything else I need to now. Deadlifting and front squats don't bother it. I'll prolly have a go at some heavier normal grip benching next session and see how I get on.

Deadlift day today. Last heavy session for a fortnight because I'm tapering next week for this 12 hour race on the Saturday.

Warm up run - felt like bloody hard work tonight even on 11 km/hr - think I may have eaten a wee bit too much curry prior to the session Tongue

Deads:
Warm-up with bar to check knee was ok after Saturdays cycling effort.
60 kg: 5, 5
80 kg: 5
100 kg: 2
105 kg: 3
110 kg: 3 (Pretty sure this is a triple PB - nice to get three out easily with over double current bodyweight - especially as I have yet to actually work through a proper routine)
115 kg: 1 single

Speedwork with 60 kg off plates - 5, 5, 5

Bit of leg press and hyperextensions.

Overall pleased with the session - if I can get some consistency in the training I think I may be on for a PB in a couple of months or so. Grin

Hey Joni - Good work at the comp! 12th out of 16th - after being sick the week before is damn good IMO!

Strong vegans are always a good thing! Grin

Has Adam got fit then?


Are you havin a laff? Tongue (To be fair, Adam is always superfit - damn genetically gifted people! Roll-Eyes )

So saturday's 19 miler kind of turned into a 7 hour, 31 miler over the Long Mynd. Was fun and just what I needed two weeks out from this 12 hour in Bristol. My knee was a little sore by the end, but otherwise the distance was easy. I'm not going into this 12 hour race with any game plan other than - have fun and do as many laps as I feel like so there is no pressure. But it is nice to know that 7 hours cycling (well, with various food stops) was easily doable and that I had some left in the tank at the end.

Sunday - SUGDEN!!!!!!!!! Leaking ceilings (through the lightswitch Eek ), equipment falling apart, a queue for the bench a mile long, curls in the squat cage and 20 million pieces of CV equipment. don't we just love it Grin

Did a bit of CV - 20 mins on the x-trainer - hell, I am so much more CV-fit than this time last year.

Because the knee was a bit sore Saturday decided to leave deads/squats. However, I did manage to get some shoulder work done Grin Grin

Shoulder stuff on the terrible incline machine - felt ok so went up to 3 sets of 8
Heavy rows on machine
Push press to 30 kg - easy enough with a narrow grip. Still cant press at all unless my elbows are right under my shoulders.

you call mate, i kind of understand, and hope i can be in a situation like that one day when i would have some secrets worth protecting Grin

All the best for the prep mate.


Yeah - same here! Only secrets I keep are just how much CV I sneak in :lol:

Good luck for the future comps in all Happy

Ok, now I'm confused! Confused

Boards or no boards.....

TBH part of the reason for planning heavy boards next cycle was due to the dodgy shoulder - although it is on the mend, I'm not confident it will be ready for any kind of heavy bench work for a few more weeks - at least doing boards I would be able to get the feel of a heavy weight in my hands again (it's been a while!) and get the tri's a battering without worrying about the shoulder too much. Confused

Notice the lack of swearing - not even a single mention of the 5 hour ride I have planned for tommorow Wink

Yesterday CGBP session.

Ooohhhh.........feel sore from Front Squats - niiiccceee Grin

Did a bit of a run for 20 mins then

CGBP - lots of warm ups with superlight bar
20 kg: 8, 8
30 kg: 5 - these felt so good and were flying up
35 kg: 3 - also felt good
37.5 kg: 1 (had a discussion with Adam about form) 2+F, 2, 1+F (yeah, these were s**te)
30 kg: 10 - so easy - damn I have turned into a rep machine training in a bodybuilding gym
Proper bench grip 30 kg: 10 (just to see how it felt on my shoulder....not too bad actually)

Also did lots of seated rows and underhand pulldowns.

Ok - so it seems that my rep strength has increased well over the last few weeks. However, I am completely out of practice with anything heavy. At least the shoulder is still on the mend very slowly and it looks like I may be able to get some proper benching done next cycle (even if it is only formwork). Still can't get under a squat bar for back squats though Roll-Eyes

The plan next cycle will be: f**kINGHEAVY boards and then speedwork/formwork on normal grip (2 sessions per week).

Good thing about being crap at benching is...even when it is going like a complete pile of pisssshh it doesn't exactly take a lot of my total LOL

Anything where people get properly hurt rather than rolling round on the ground like a bunch of girls is far better IMHO!

MMA, Boxing, Rugby, Motorbike Racing etc etc

Not got as many sessions in as I would have liked recently - work in all getting in the way. Did manage a half decent session yesterday though:

Warm-up run then....

Front Squats:
Superlight bar for warm-ups then
20 kg: 5, 5, 5 (cleaned bar up)
30 kg: 5, 5 (also managed to clean bar)
40 kg: 1, 3 (yeah, didn't manage to clean that - think they make take some practice Tongue )
45 kg: 3, 3, 3 (first set was a bit of a struggle, but last two sets were easy as I felt much more confident with the weight)

Leg press:
Warm-ups with plateform - 8
20 kg each side - 8
30 kg each side - 8
45 kg each side - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Adam is too busy damaging the only good olympic bar in his gym...


This would probably be true.....if the gym actually had one good bar to damage Roll-Eyes

What sort of upgrades Bunny? Spokey Dokies? Low profile tyres? Maybe a 'phat'sound system?


Unfortunately you are not too far off. Embarassed It has become rather like 'pimp my ride' as a guy i ride with pointed out not so long ago Roll-Eyes

Spokie dokies - now if I could only get hold of some of those in red.........
