Dom's Training Log

Nice, I've mailed ice to see if he can give me some idea on how to work towards a comp. My bench and deads are coming along nicely, but squat is a constant battle!
 
Not really likely to happen :), it might do after the next comp but I'm doing at least the next cycle at this weight.

Ice just pointed out that he will be in the 83s too :(.

Although who knows maybe I'll pull the same as him again :D.
 
Couple quick questions.
Can you dead/squat in socks?
Do you have to have a hand off on bench?
 
You have to wear shoes of some form for squat and they have to have been designed for a sporting purpose. Me and Ice wear vibrams, converse are also allowed. You may or may not be able to wear deadlifts slippers for squatting, I will check and get back to you.

You have to wear DL slippers, but they are essentially socks with some rubber on the bottom, there is nothing really to them.

You don't need to have a lift off as far as I am aware.

How annoying.

Why would you NOT be allowed to squat in socks? you can't exactly gain anything surely? It's as natural as you're going to get other than barefoot :p
 
It'll be a safety thing, socks have less grip that rubber soled slippers or shoes. Minor point but could cause problems.

I can't imagine that you will find it any different really LiE, it might throw you a little for the first session or two but it should be fine :).
 
I'll pick up some DL slipperz.

Edit: Done. £10 from Pullum :)

Combination of paused squats and paused DLs in one day had me blind and deaf on the last reps of each set on the DLs.

I haven't done DB Bench for about 1.5 years so I could have done a bit heavier but oh well.

How do you do weighted rollouts?

another method is take a backpack with you to the gym, not a massive one, but something that can be loaded up with 2.5kg plates you can add 10-15kg quite easily and you dont have to worry about the weight falling off :)

You dont need to be adding weight until you nail the roll outs form though
