No you're just "in". Ring Jas if you want (nice guy), or I could check for you if you want.

FUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRK! Horrible, horrible, horrible. Complete CNS burnout. Couldn't move arms afterwards. Everything hurts. Glad I'm not training until Saturday.
 
If its not too much trouble could you check? I'm sure it's all fine.

Do you think it's better for me to do doubles on Friday for squats or go with the single?

edit: Do I decided on the squat catchers height when I'm at the comp or should I get an idea before?

Didn't see your edit! You check the height you want the rack to be at on the day. You need to remember to take into account how much you'll be squashed by the weight, but it's nothing to worry about. I'll check that we're actually in the comp too ;)


Training 26/01/13

Having done lots of soft tissue work on my legs and hips last night, I was hoping to get a decent squatting session in.

Squats
bar x lots
60x10
100x6 feeling quite nice
140x3
160x2
180x1 wonky unrack, hips were all over the place
180x1 fixed
200x1
210x2
220x2 comfortable, which is weird!
big drop for speed work
170x2x5

Bench with 2 chains per side
bar x lots
60x10
80x3
100x3 with chains
90x3x3 nice a speedy

3ct paused RDL
160x5
200x5 PB! Easy!?
Literally all I did, that'll do

Wide grip paused
100x4
110x3
60 seconds rest, gym was closing. Had about 5 more reps in me for the last set, which would be great to do if I wasn't a week away from comp.

Small PWO shake, then out with the bros for huge amounts of chinese food and milkshakes from GBK. Great gains.


Not entirely sure what my openers are going to be, in my head my training has been all over the place.

Squat 200? Maybe, but what about my snap city quad?
Bench 130? Probably a safe bet, but is it too safe?
Deadlift ????? **** knows. 220? Or hope I don't snap my hammy up and go heavier?

Bah!
 
What did you lift at this comp last time? Presumably you'll be working up to your openers on Monday too?

Squat 195 210 220
Bench 130 140 145f
Deadlift 220 :o:D

This was in the weight class above because of pounding food to recover from the hammy tear. In the 83kg class my best is 190/130/220 from last June I think (on my adductor tear!), so PBs will be comfortable!

Also, this is the most injury free I've been in the run up to a comp since my first one. That is miserable! :D

Training 28/01/13

Good lord! Why was I looking forward to today?! Clearly I'd forgotten...

So today all lifts are done with ZERO psych up. Literally walk up to the bar calm and get it done. Feels like the weights are absolutely battering me :(

Squat
bar x lots
60x12
100x5
140x3
150x1
160x1
170x1
180x1
190x1 urgh!
200x1 a lot better, very comfortable

Bench
bar x lots
60x10
80x3
100x2
110x1
120x1
130x1 terrible! But this is actually because I'm really tight in my pecs, and there was no lacross ball :(

Deadlift
60xlots
100x3
140x3
160x1
180x1 slow!
200x1 better
220x1 not bad

Fin.

Thank god.

Good times :) the lack of psych is killer.
You going with those numbers for your openers? They look great.

Hope the bench comes good at the weekend for you, gotta give LiE a run for his money in his first comp :)

My bench may be tasty but my squat is lagging :(
 
Hey Ice, you mentioned at the last meet you get your MCT from amazon, mind popping up a linky of which one you get, also how long it tends to last you? Cheers

That's what I do all the time lol. I just can't psych myself up, more likely to laugh at myself at/under the bar if i did try!
