Training 13/03/13

Deadlift
RDL bar x lots, 60x12
100x5
140x5 - belt feels really loose!
180x1
205x5x5 ~2 mins rest
Got videos of set 2 and 5, and there's a significant difference in fatigue!

Feeling good, glutes are still ruined though. Going to start relaxing the rests gradually, but still aiming to push myself metabolically rather than be a lazy ****

Dips
bw x 10
15x8
25x8
40x8x4 <2 mins rest
Also feeling good. I'm going to push for a PB even with these gay rests

Good morning beltless
60x8
100x5
140x6x3 much harder than last session! Not much more to be added here

Skull crushers
bar + 30kg x12x3 - <2 min rests
For the first time ever, I tried being a bit more sloppy with my form. Significantly harder and more pump! Kind of suggests I was doing it badly before...

Snatch grip RDL with long-ish pause
60x5
100x5
140x6x3
Not fun! But also awesome

Tricep rope up/down superset <60 second rests
12/12 x3

Rushed session, but a good one.

Morning bw: 89kg

Gains.

Nice. Snatch grip anything makes me smile.

icecold · 14 Mar 2013 at 15:03

They're good fun

The pause has doubled my DOMS. In fact, epic DOMS all over my back and tris today.

Need more OAKG

Next step: snatch grip deadlift

Delvis · 14 Mar 2013 at 16:08

Then....The Reeves deadlift?

LiE · 14 Mar 2013 at 16:11

It's all about the deadcurls.

Had to google that, snatch grip is harder!

Yes.

Saw my physio today for some shoulder jabbing. Quite literally in fact, he resorted to dry needling my teres minor and other rotator cuff bits because they'd gotten so broken. Then he pealed the skin off my pec.

Also, he said that I was now massive and leaner. That is all the gains confirmation that I needed.

Delvis · 14 Mar 2013 at 21:37

Sweet

Wish my shoulder would get fixed, although I'm pretty convinced most of my shoulder problems are pec and front dealt related.

icecold · 14 Mar 2013 at 21:40

I'm sure he's wrong about the leanness, it's probably because he saw me carb depleted pre-comp.

Yeah my shoulder is entirely due to my pec. Everything else has happened as a consequence.

Delvis · 14 Mar 2013 at 21:43

Time to hammer my pec with the ol' hockey ball then.

LiE · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:32

You competing soon?

icecold · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:47

Not for ages, I can't bench at all at the moment!

I meant the last time my physio saw me was the week before our last comp when I was carb depleted, so I was looking a lot less joocy than right now.

LiE · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:50

I feel like it's not worth competing until around May time, but doesn't look like much on. I'm on holiday for 2 weeks in June then it's probably training up till nationals.

icecold · 14 Mar 2013 at 22:58

That's pretty much the way I'm planning it. I might be tempted to compete around late June, but it depends on a few things.

icecold · 15 Mar 2013 at 16:19

I have a theory that I'm shortly going to approach the level of muscle my body wants to sit at given eating habits/whatever. I don't plan on stopping gaining weight until I get to around 93kg, so it could get interesting.

Delvis · 15 Mar 2013 at 16:20

Extra Haribo is needed.
