Countdown to competition...

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Random session because of working late, so got to play in the work gym with nobody to disturb...

JERK (1) 70(2)-90-100-110-120-120 Well, that was interesting. 100kg felt a bit ropey, but it would seem more weight settled things down, somehow. Pretty happy with that! Second 120kg needed pressing back out because it bounced, indicating 125/130kg is there with a bit of practise...
PUSHPRESS (5) 70(3)-60-60-60 CNS was unimpressed with 70kg...
PUMP WORK... All.

Not the most muscularly taxing session, but crikey I felt zapped! Whole chicken and fries from Nandis to help, however...

Second 120kg...

Nice! Looks like you felt that one on the way down!

tom_e · 12 Dec 2014 at 10:34

Stronk! Nice work mate, sod dropping that back into the rack position though

mrthingyx · 12 Dec 2014 at 10:35

Thanks.

Yes - wasn't sure about catching it (why would anybody want to ditch 120kg onto their shoulders?) and it was just as heavy as I anticipated...

Delvis · 12 Dec 2014 at 12:51

You plonker

Awesome work bud

mrthingyx · 14 Dec 2014 at 21:24

Have felt pretty dull over the past few days... Like a cold without the runny nose.

BACK SQUATS (5) 120-120-120 Unracking felt like a 1RM, but braced up and chalked up five for three... Could probably have managed 6 but am not pushing. Will take next week as it comes.
SAVICKAS (8) 40-50-50 This dullness doesn't affect bro stuff, it would seem... Might try for a bench PB... Happy with that weight, however!
PENDLAYS (5) ss/w LAT RAISES (12) 80/10-90/10-90/10
BIZENTRIZE (12) Das pump.

Not sure what is going on with my squatting: it is as though I don't feel pumped to go to the gym. :eek:

Will take it easy next week and see how it goes.

Because I don't usually know what half your exercises are I started to google BIZENTRIZE, then it clicked...

But sir! My serious log is exceptionally serious!

Good Lift! Your upper mobility is really good, elbows nice and high... something I have been trying to work on lately!

I'd have let that one hit the floor personally, not a fan of catching heavy lifts like that!

mrthingyx · 17 Dec 2014 at 17:58

Mobility is one thing with which I don't have too many problems... I just lack strength.

I say that sitting outside my work gym, watching bros watching other bros bench and curl...

mrthingyx · 21 Dec 2014 at 18:37

I do still lift... Honest.

BACK SQUAT (4s) 127.5-127.5-127.5-127.5 A bit ropey on the last set...
