Thanks, seems to help my poor hands, they were getting torn to pieces when setting them up and trying to load my hams. Also has helped with being more consistent in my pulling
Worked up to 100kg....took a lot of time to get this far but it wasn't to be. Not to worry, it was to be expected that it would take time to adapt to the workload.
Saturday morning I pulled something in my groin area.....
Saturday
Squats
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA nope.
Stretched, rolled, massaged and tiger balmed but nothing would get me to my working weight without feeling like it was doing more harm then good.
I hit a few triples with 160 to keep me ticking over.
Bench
5x6x127.5 - grand here
Some pullups and I was outta there.
Sunday
Deadlifts
4x8x225 - death.... first set was no belt no straps second set was both on but I didn't like the position the straps put me in so 3rtd and 4th were without straps.
All reps pulled from a dead stop....almost passed out on the 3rd set >.<
Little upload of the 225x8 lifts, only deadlifting once a week now so I've changed some things around. The reset after each pull to reinforce the positioning and the use of a much stiffer bar than before to make the initial pull tougher so I develop more tension and power off the floor.
Skipped Tuesday and Thursday, feeling awful! Keeping the volume light as my chest infection is finally starting to clear up (I considered not training at all but I couldn't keep myself away)
Hit a set of bench but was very drained.
Bench 4x140
Sunday
Deadlifts
Hit 3 sets of 5 at 255kg - this was obscenely difficult and rightly so it was 5kg above my 5RM ^^ My 1rm this time last year was 250kg so I was well pleased with the improvement once I'd realized that.
Did some pullups, floor press, machine OHP (back was fried and I didn't want to put much more pressure on it) and then a ton of stretching and foam rolling.
