:D

Yeah that was a long session, but it's been made worse recetly by it being really busy and the gym being down one bar.

Deception, it's an active contract/relax type stretch. Look up things like the super frog on mwod, it's the next best thing!

Ah those, I did used to do them when I first started looking at mobility exercises. Will add them in and report back! :D

There were meant to be 3-4 top set triples with squats too...

I guess I'm just used to it. It's not as if I'm taking 90 second rests either!

Deads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

100x2 fast, slight pinch :(

180x1 slow and gay
200x1 "
220x2 not too bad, but I felt this was enough for the day

Long pause squat

Training 9/11/12

Squat +6 chains (+50+kg at the top)
bar x lots
60x15
100x8
100x3 (with chains from now on)
140x3
160x1
180x1 - faster than last week
190x2f - so close! Another inch and I would have been passed my sticking point
160x3
140x3 no chains
Still juggling the bar on the walkouts with these. It's so strange having the weight pile on at the top.

Comp paused bench
bar x lots
60x10
80x3 paused
100x3
110x1
120x1
130x2
132.5x2
125x2x5
Better

Chain deads (6 chains)
60 x lots
100x10
100x2
140x2
140x2 (chains added)
180x2 - not bad. Felt good to push some weight through the point in the ROM where I had my tear.

Quite a large tail off in volume, I want to make sure I'm set for the comp next Sunday. The exception to this was bench, which I hammered because it was firing pretty well today.

90% mock meet tomorrow, and it's going to be interesting to see what happens with my deadlift.

I'll try to video my bench this time, although knowing my luck that will mean it messes up!
