You should be conditioned for Saturday with these heat PBs :)

I guess it's all relative. After I did some prowler work recently I had to lie down for quite some time in order not to die.

In a couple of months ;)

My next PB is probably going to be on my deadlift, somewhat strangely. At least now I'm in the territory of any PBs not being numbers that I hit at ~85kg.
 
Training 19/7/13

The gym was ONLY as hot as Monday today, FML. I'm not willing to completely sack off training because of the meet tomorrow, but I did skip some bits. I did have to do chain deadlifts today though, and my back was very angry about that.


Squats
bar x lots
bar x10
60x6
60x6
100x3
140x3
160x1 this was what I'd planned
160x3 this is what felt right

Short rest paused bench
bar x lots
60x8
80x5
100x5
110x5
120x5 really nice
122.5x5
117.5x5
117.5x5
Felt really good today, despite still slipping all over the bench.

Deadlifts with 6 chains
60x5 - hello lower back
100x3
100x3 - with chains
140x1
180xf lol
180x1
210x2 - I think that's an equal PB
220x2 - PB, and easier! Somehow...
210x2
Well that was surprising. I though I was going to be doing sets of 160 or something, but then everything just started working. My body is weird. I'm happy with that PB, total load is around +50kg at the top.
 
This stuff right here:

Does not help with a next day strongman day. So much pain!
 
^ thanks Deception!

Training 22/7/13

I'm boring myself moaning about the heat, so today I'm going to moan about the humidity. It was ridiculous today, the gym was almost empty because of if. Only a few idiots struggled through in the quest for gains.


Squats
bar x lots
60x10
100x3
140x1
160x1
180x1
160x3
100x5
100x5
Easy enough, although the reps at 100 were not welcome at all.

Deadlifts
100x3
140x3
180x1
200x1
220x1
240x1
Horrible all the way through.

Bench
bar x lots
60x8
80x3
100x2
110x1
120x1
130x1
140x1 - relatively easy :confused:

**** the gym.

That 140 bench single is possibly the best bench rep I've ever done when you factor in the weight. Why does benching seem unaffected by the heat??
 
So by that thinking, I shouldn't squat or deadlift as it's affecting the heat to the detriment of my training.

I think you could be on to something.
 
Tangentially, I've seen people at the gym actually change their routines in the heatwave because of squats and deadlifts suffering, stopping them completely. They refuse to workout properly without a functional AC unit. Twonks.
