As predicted my legs are riddled with DOMS. I don't know if it's due to the addition the the new variant, but no part of my legs seems to have escaped. Feelsgoodman
 
Training 07/08/13

Well, I knew this was going to be painful from the moment I first tried moving today and my legs buckled from DOMS. Not the worst ever, but all of my upper legs and glutes destroyed. Here we go...

Squat
Bar x lots - so painful!
bar x lots
60x5
60x5
Ouch. These were just done as a warmup. It didn't help.

Deadlifts
60x some, all painful. In fact, just assume that all of these reps are painful.
100x5
140x3 - sloooooooww
180x1 - better, more solid feeling
200x1
220x1
230x5 - I would have been pleased with how this felt if I was feeling fresh. Easy

Seems fine

Tricep rope stuff
some stuff

Did I mention that this was a painful workout? Incoming DOMS on top of DOMS.
 
When your DOMS has DOMS, you know you're gonna have a bad time

Training 09/08/13

Another day that started with an inability to walk, but now my lumbar erectors have joined the party so I was basically a cripple all day. Adductors were also really tight, which was to be expected as it's the gayest and more injury prone part of my legs.

The solution? Warm up for ever an hour. Priority was adductors, painful quads don't mean injuries for me, just agonising reps which I'm ok with!


Squats
bar x lots
more warming up
bar x lots - there we go
60x6
100x5
140x3
160x1
180x5 - lovely set. Perfect weight for what I wanted, with a significant plurality to the reps left in the tank
172.5x5
172.5x5
172.5x5 - some of the best squatting this year
Pleasing. A little cautious with the weight, but it won't be detrimental.

Bench
bar x lots
60x6
80x2
100x1
110x1
120x4
117.5x4
117.5x5 - oops
117.5x4
115x4

Started to warm up for my other stuff but decided to leave it for tomorrow.
 
Nationals in October. I'll need at least another year of not being injured before I can worry the top 5 or so guys in my weight class. The standard in the 93s is rather good.

Also, I just blew my nose and some blood came out. Did I just lose all my gains?
 
Enlighten me on what the nationals is. Are there different federations for powerlifting?

I think you need to eat the nose blood for increased gainz.

Are you and lie in the same class?
 
Lies more than likely in the 83kg I think.

Still tasty! What are the main things you do for adductor warming up again? General 'footballer' warm up and hitting it with a ball or? :)
 
Gonna be interesting to watch the 93's at nationals. I think Tom Martin might just nail top spot if he stays snap free until then! Would be nice to see some OCUK top 5's from ice Dom and LiE

In for National gains. Looking forward to cheering you guys on and massaging your glutes inbetween lifts

Where is it going to be again?
 
Horncastle.
Planning to get down the day before and stay in a hotel.

Me and Dom are 83s, it's the most handsome weight class.
