Dom's Something of Something

Comp was last weekend for the unaware, here is the video.


Squat: I'm very happy with. Would have been nice to get a few extra keegs on it but to have made a 192.5 look that good is enough for me.

Bench: I'm a little frustrated with. Bench has been feeling good recently but I have had some issues with shoulder in the last week or two. I managed to fix a lot of issues in my T-spine and shoulder so I thought I was in for some good things but the second attempt was a little rushed because they called the wrong person at first and my back cramped up because I wasn't fully focused. That kind of scuppered chances on the third attempt but oh well.

Deadlift: I was expecting this to be the worst of the three but it surprised me, the 220kg felt great and like there was definitely more there. I failed 225kg just below my knee :(. There was some rotation off the floor which I don't think helped but I think it was mostly just that I was fatigued and not used to doing so much in one day. Never the less, this kind of progress with only having done <10 deadlift sessions since September is only a good thing.

Overall I am very pleased. I qualified for nationals and broke my comp total and comp squat PBs and equalled my comp deadlift PB.

Next cycle is planned and ready to go but it won't be starting until next week because I have the final football game of the season this week and I also wanted to take a break after the comp. I might be going in one day this week to sort out a membership at this other gym and to just keep things moving but other than that this week is purely football.
 
Right so...

Monday was the first session on this new cycle. I forgot to write anything down for it and I forgot my camera so I can't remember what happened exactly. It was a pretty good session though, up to 150kgx5 for squats moved very nicely then dropped it down for some volume. Then had bench and paused deads. Bench was not bad but nothing incredible, no lift off up to 92.5kgx5 and then some volume. Paused DL up to 160kgx3. Then some filler stuff.

I think I'm going to grow a lot this cycle :cool:. Feeling quite DOMSy today but everything feels good.
 
Yeah I'm very pleased with how the squats look. I think ankle may be making some progress. Just need to keep on top of shoulders as well now.
 
Ha ha yeah I was solidly mirin the dumbbell swings. That gym is full of lulz and also some honeys around which is a pleasant yet distracting surprise :p
