I squatted up to 140kg and there was a little discomfort and very mild pain, so sacked it off. It's vastly improved though, so my resting protocol is working. I was able to do more aggressive stretches that were too painful before, so I'm looking forward to some more improvements. There is still a small chance that I can catch up provided I can squat on friday, so I'll have to wait and see.

Good bench assistance day though. I'm much worse at pin presses than I thought, it turns out my triceps are pretty weak and rely almost completely on momentum generated off my chest. I did get better at them as I went on, so next time I'll see what I can do.
 
I think you are right with the current plan, and at the end of the day if you don't squat from now until the comp you'll still be able to smash the qualifying total. The more gentle you are with it now the more aggressive you can be after qualifiers I spose :).
 
Thanks reiyushin :)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. The bottom line is that I'll still be good for 200kg even with an injury (I doubt there will be much over 210kg on the day from others), and if I rest it completely then I can destroy myself afterwards.

Currently thinking:

Qualifying total: 512.5kg

Squat: 175kg (lol), 185kg/190kg/????, ????

Bench: 120kg, 130kg, ????

Deadlift: 220kg, 230kg, ????

So that's a comfortable qualifying total on my openers.
 
Thanks for the "lol" at what I'd be pleased to get as a 1RM for squats. Cheers bro :).


Looks fine to me, you might even be able to ramp up the squat a bit on the day.

Will was contemplating doing the comp with a dodgy shoulder and just asking for 40kg on the bench :D.
 
Haha he should definitely do that!

I'm fighting the gayness of opening my squats at a weight LESS than what I've done for 10 reps. Super gay.

You know, I'll just open with this weight:

Yeah, so three squats, then three benches and then three deadlifts.

This makes the deadlift weight a little more dependent on the squat weights, but since I'm going so sub-maximal it shouldn't be a big deal.

Training 08/06/12

Bench
bar x lots
60x8
80x5
100x3
120 - weird line
130 f - got a bad hand off and the bar slipped to my left
132.5 PB! Flew up
140 f - completely lost my line. It curved away from me on the way down and was all kinds of ****ed up.
140 f - better, just tired now

Some pulling stuff
some x some

I wasn't really taking this session seriously, as I don't really care about setting a bench PB at the moment. I'm still pretty fatigued from stuff earlier in the week, my back and triceps in particular. I'm still convinced I could have had 140kg, another day!
