| Thanks guys. Yeah it was kind of demoralising wrestling a 105kg stone in the wet, but just trying to get as much practice on them in the next two weeks cos i stink at stones! Watch out Boar, im coming for your 130kg overhead* *DISCLAIMER - this may take many, many years, and the addition of bionic arms. | |||

| Got this journal running over on MT, but thought I may as well stick it in here too, seeing as this is more the sort of training im doing, plus im working towards JTs comp in a few weeks. Monday 19th October Overhead & Squats One Arm DB Press 1 x 24kgs 1 x 30kgs 1 x 36kgs 1 x 40kgs Right x 44kgs, Failed Left.* Push Press Medley (Just with the barbell, done as quickly as possible) 1 x 50kgs, 60kgs, 70kgs, 80kgs, 90kgs** Military Press 6 x 70kgs Zercher Squats*** 6 x 50kgs 6 x 70kgs 1 x 100kgs 1 x 110kgs 1 x 120kgs 1 x 130kgs Back Squats 1 x 130kgs 1 x 140kgs 1 x 150kgs 1 x 160kgs F x 170kgs Notes * Really pleased with this, had to change my technique as I was basically cheating with what I was doing previously **Again, really happy to get the 90kgs out, decent pace too ***Never tried these before, thought they would be good practice for lapping the stones at JTs comp, felt pretty good - murder on the arms tho! | |||
