Training 12/6/13
Legs all kinds of tight today so warmed up very thoroughly. Possibly should have kept the squats lighter on monday.
Deads - decided to be extremely careful with these. Aimed to be...not exactly slow, but very deliberate of the floor to make sure the load was being distributed evenly in my hips. Also did controlled negatives to make up for the lack of load and further try to keep everything in my hips behaving.
bar x millions
60x10
100x5
140x5 kept these beltless for a change to help my feel what was going on
160x6
180x5
200x5

Well that was exhausting! Kept the rests quite short, sweaty mess status achieved.
Board bench
bar x lots
60x10
80x5
100x5 to board
110x1
120x2 - was thinking of doing this as my top set but it was too light
125x5 PB easy
127.5x5 PB easy

Well that was ridiculous. The bar is feeling so deliciously light in my hands at the moment.
Did some token good mornings but there were more of a warm down.
Sacked off tricep isolation, did mobility instead.

Lovely stuff, chest is making good gains recently. PBs, soon.jpg.
Training 14/6/13
All kinds of fatigue today. Time to take it easy on dem der squats so I don't snap in half.

Short rests, extreme fatigue. Erectors are also massively out of condition and tired from wednesday. I'm imagining a lot of these initial things will clear up after I've been back at it for a week or two, but it's definitely a sign that I need to keep an eye on load for a while.

Pecs felt really tight today so I avoided completely killing myself with volume.
Pull throughs
some pin x10x3
some heavier pin x10x2
Saving OHP for tomorrow.
Almost getting a bit bored of these easier benching weights. I'm going to stick to the plan though and only hit higher percentages later on. Also, my adductors are phaggots.

So much harder beltless! Adductor still isn't perfect, but significantly better. It's such a relief to have found stuff that actually works for the right bits.

110x1 - had a huge rest before this and a bad hand off. Rep was terrible!

Made sure every rep was 100% perfect with these.
Wide grip bench - slow negs with a pause

Again, less weight to focus on mechanics. This results in more load in the right places anyway, so it isn't much of a trade off.
Nice session, and my adductors are continuing to improve.

Mirin hard, it's ridiculous the volume you and Dom do at the weights you shift. Mirin damn hard
