Bench

5x100 - too tired.

Farmers walks
50kg dumbells - 30m (15m turn and repeat)

A mix of pullups, core work and a lot of silly things tried out here.

All in all a decent session, happy I got my squat numbers and the 20 reps :)
 
Left leg is still not doing well, grappling is to blame.

Will see how it is later but as it stands today will be a purely upper body session.
 
My adductor got wailed on my some guy who wanted past my guard.

I do submission grappling, ADCC style so it's a mix of many different arts.

The class is primarily BJJ but with my build I try use a bit of wrestling and judo.
 
Right so leg wasn't happy and lifting kitchens again today didn't help...

Weights are going up fast! :cool:

Got a nice little group of 83kg lifters on here with Dom, LiE and yourself. Hopefully see you all compete against each other at some point :)
Click to expand...

I'm in the 93s, I was considering dropping for the 83s but staying in the 93s as my grappling weight class is 90kg :)

Nice PB! Can't be far off a 600 total now?

Did you manage to film it?
Click to expand...

600 is getting closer but it's not mine yet!

No film :( the gym has 3 nice instructors and 1 complete tool who complains about everything including videos.

The 250 was great for a PB, my upper back rounded a bit but lower was good, front squats and sneaky core work have brough that area up to scratch!
 
Saturday - leg is almost better :) lower back is a bit tired from the deadlift PB but nothing that will interfere with the session.

Squats
2x5x60
5x100
3x120
3x140
3x160
2x3x175
2x2x185
2x1x195

Bench
10x40
10x50
10x60
10x70
10x80
10x90
5x100 - left it there, plenty in the tank but my shoulder was little iffy and it wasn't worth getting hurt.

All in all my shoulder is much much better, I'm just playing it safe.

Dips
6x3x +25kg

These were good but the last 3 sets were grinders. Still got the reps in :)

Dumbell Bench
5x5x44kg

Comfy :)

After this it was a lot of pullups, yates, cleans, power cleans, hang cleans, jerks, farmers walks with 60kg dumbells.

A great day was had :D

Thanks :) was very pleased with it as the form was decent and it felt strong :)

Grappling tonight was awesome, learned a lot and landed a move I'd been sneakily practicing :D
 
Haha not quite, despite being able to lift my training partners quite easily I'll save any slams/suplexes for drills or competition.

It was a leg lock :)
 
Lifting more kitchens today, liking the strongman style of lifting awkward objects.....it really takes it out of you.

Anyways training tonight should be interesting, hope I'm up to the squats and as for the bench instead of going one set more than I complete I'm going to go 2 sets more and get used to handing some more weight again.

i.e
90x10 - complete
100x8
110x5

I'm starting to enjoy benching again :)
 
The 2 guys I train with are oly lifters and they've had me doing a few cleans, if I was somewhere I could drop the weight I'd be much happier (in the photo is a special are that we're rarely allowed) a friend is opening up an olympic gym so I'll give it a go once he's set up :)

In a contest with one of them for the biggest squat :D we're neck and neck right now :D

Also something in the works for strongest overall lifter so it's the 3 power lifts and the 2 oly lifts combined to make your total :D

I'll be forced to learn it in order to compete in that XD

2x5x60
5x80
5x100
3x120
3x140
3x160
1x170
1x180

All these were done with a slightly alternated position, getting tight in an upright position was the focus :) felt very good but a little too stressful on my wrist, need adjustment.

Walkouts - unracking the bar, take a couple of steps out, hold (or squat a little :D)
230kgs - current NI record, squatted down with this a little......soon.....
250kgs - this was heavy....not quite so soon :p

1x210 - PB :D
1x220 - PB :D :D
1x230 - PB :D :D :D

So I put more effort into my positioning and these were awesome, easiest 230 I've ever done, there will be more PBs here :D

Bench
10x40
10x50
10x60
10x70
10x80
10x90
10x100 - equal best
5x110 - first rep screwed me up......as always.
0x120 - failed this.....bicep wouldn't let it happen at all....
1x120 - got this with assistance due to poor communication on my part XD
1x120 - this was all mine and there was a change in technique that I'll have to experiment with as it felt good :)

Pullups
Worked in singles to +30kgs which was all I had in the tank today.


A lot to think about from tonights session......squat position, deadlift stance, bench technique......
