- Various row type stuff.

Hamstrings were ruined by Wednesday's session and I could feel them complaining when I was squatting. It was like they wanted to activate but just couldn't. 160kg felt nice and easy 170kg just didn't have the power.

Wide grips was fine, nothing special but I have a strange neck/pec problems which flares up when I bench. It gets really painful and basically stops me from doing anything else requiring upper body that day which sucks. It just needs some hammering with a ball or something but I just haven't gotten round to doing it aggressively enough.

Hmmm, delicious gains.

Really pleased with that. I reckon I could have ground out another rep on the deads but I wasn't going for max.

The squats were nice, I've definitely re-found the grove for my squats. Things are going to get very interesting soon I think. I've got a max effort triple on Friday so I am looking forward to seeing what I can get with that.


Gains.

Thanks chaps.

The only thing it was missing was some core work. I might get some in a little later.

I really want to get on some ring dips but I has no rings :(. FF where did yours come from?

They are Pellor Olympic rings - they're adjustable and good for over 200kg load. I preferred having adjustable, but tying a knot is no biggie either. I think I got them from amazon.

Nice.

Have you tried using snatch/clean pulls for speed work? Really wakes those glutes up and gives serious ampage...

I'm not quite competent enough off the floor to do them properly. I will have a go at the at some point when I can actually do them but I have a theory that they may not be quite specific enough to help my deadlift. They would however still be a very viable exercise. I'm looking forward to when I can clean properly and snatch, it's frustrating at the moment that everything I am doing RE oly lifting is actually very light. I feel like if I disregarded form I could do a lot more but I know that would be a daft thing to do. Oh well, I will just have to keep plugging away.


Thanks FF. I was looking at the Pellor ones with the buckle and I might get them. I'm waiting to see if I can buy some off a friend who doesn't want them any more but I will probably go for those if he doesn't decide to sell his.
