Cheers guys ![]() Joni said: 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 ![]() 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. ![]() | |||

Post Edited: 26.05.2008 @ 09:16 AM by littlegirlbunny Alex said: Has Adam got fit then? Are you havin a laff? ![]() ![]() 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 ![]() ![]() 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 ![]() ![]() 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. | |||

Joni said: 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 ![]() 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 ![]() | |||

Post Edited: 23.05.2008 @ 20:14 PM by littlegirlbunny Ok, now I'm 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. ![]() Notice the lack of swearing - not even a single mention of the 5 hour ride I have planned for tommorow ![]() | |||

Yesterday CGBP session. Ooohhhh.........feel sore from Front Squats - niiiccceee ![]() 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 ![]() 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 ![]() 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 | |||
