We can all wish we started earlier, but ultimately it doesn't change anything.

Obscene.

Yeah the top of my rec fem and intermedialis (as a whole) feels like jelly, tender as sin and I didn't even really have much of a deficit! Goes to show how important things like walking lunges and D/BSS are for leg/hip health

It's a great functional movement that really highlights where you're limited and drags you kicking and screaming into being stronger and more balanced.

His is a great story for sure. Current PBs are 220/172.5/285, which is world class.

Thanks also. I'm hoping that my period of being injured and then bulking up to 93kg will now finally let me lift like I was a couple of year ago.

There may be a comp coming up, I'm not 100% sure.

Training 23/1/14

Deads
bar
60
100
140
180
200
220 feeling the fatigue from my week of minimal sleep
240x4 5th not attempted
225x5
200x5x a lot of sets
I should have postponed this session as I knew I was too tired, but my training days were limited so I decided on balance that I'd just do it anyway. Misjudged my top set (terrible platform and massively wandering bar played it's part), so did what may have been a million drops to make up for it.

BTN PP
bar
60
80x5
85x5x5 pb?
OHP 50x10

Chins

Same story as last time with the deadlift platform again. Sorry bru

.

Squats looks like they are doing well.

Delvis · 26 Jan 2014 at 22:28

What platform is this and why is it still alive?

Training 27/1/14

Well today I am fatigued. Left side of core is also unhappy, but it's squat monday so onwards.

Squats
bar
60
100
140
160
180
200 wtf?! Really messy line into the hole
215 much better
230x3 PB
235x3 PB
215x3
AWWWWWWWWWWWWW YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAH. 230x3 was a bit of a pipe dream for the end of this cycle, but I smashed it. It would have been rude not to do more, but 235x3 was at the limit today. Strong fatigue.

Bench (no lift off, singles paused)
bar
60
90
100 (singles from here)
110
120
125
130 very fast
135 still good
110x3x6 short rests
Very pleased with the 130, 135 went a bit weird but was still conservative opener territory. Definitely moving in the right direction.

Some other stuff.

Nice push-press... But y u no like front rack?

icecold · 30 Jan 2014 at 19:54

Thanks

Purely because I'm able to put more weight up like this. The main purpose of my push presses is shoulder stability and general pushing/tricep coordination. Increased load and volume overhead, coupled with some benching tweaks, is giving me some great lower trap activation and seems to be really helping my shoulder. Coming up to a year since my almost-separation, and it's finally starting to feel like an almost normal shoulder some of the time :/

Terrible, no jooce whatsoever. I think I've worked out what's wrong, but I don't think there is enough time to accumulate enough corrective work before my comp

Syla5 · 1 Feb 2014 at 13:09

When and where is the comp?
