icecold's training log

Thank you sir! I really appreciate everyone's kind words :)

My squat is definitely my most technically pretty lift, but that particular style won't work for everyone. I've had a few people say that I "handle" weight well, which I guess is to do with stability.

As for not being worthy, as if! The vast majority of what I've achieved is down to being lucky and managing to listen to the right people, the list of whom includes yourself.
 
Aww dude!!!!! :o :o

So kind of you. :) I'm happy to accept and admit that you've surpassed a lot of my technical skill and knowledge. However it's humbling to hear that I may have contributed to your development. :)

80x6
100x3
110x1
120x3x3
First set of 120 was to see how fatigued I was after the comp, it turns out "a lot" was the answer. Not hugely difficult, just slow and uncomfortable.

Deadlift
70xsome
110x8
150x3
190x5
210x0 - took the tension off the bar and felt uncomfortable in my hip
190x5x2
Not bad, pleased to get a bit of volume in

Deficit Bulgarian Split Squats (weight per DB)
bw x 10
17.5x8

Horrible! Left leg is considerably weaker here, these were easy on my right side.

Strict elbow flaired row
20x10x3

CGBP
90x8x3

Chins
bw x some x a few

Cable shoulder stuff

DB curls


Pretty good session. It's very obvious from today that the problem in right hip flexor is driven by my left leg being weaker. I probably won't be able to hammer deadlifts until my hamstring is a little bit more back to strength. It felt absolutely fine today though, so as long as I'm careful I should get there pretty soon.
 
I've got a new training cycle which I'll put together to start monday, and aim to peak for that comp at the start of Feb that you're also going to ;)

Lots of mobility and warming up

Squats
Bar x some
60x10
100x8
140x3
160x1
180x3
These were only meant to be speed reps, but I left it there for volume because my hip is still a little niggle-y and my hamstring was tender from smashing it this week. Speed was good and mobility was nice.

25x10x3
