icecold's training log

[LiE]

I may try something similar on my deads next, it looks like it allows for lots of tightness. I approach the bar tight but it can be difficult getting into a good position without making adjustments. By being in front of the bar, and sitting back, I can imagine it allows you to use the bar to leaver back and wind up the tension more.

Training 12/10/12

Squats
bar x lots
60x10
100x10
140x3
170x1
185x1
200x3 flew up! I was doubting this would go up at all, so much so that I was moaning about the fear and requested side spots.
205x3 comfy
210x3 wat
200x3
Well ok then. I thought 210kg was being a little optimistic for comp in just over a month, apparently I misjudged! Speed is a little inconsistent (205 was faster than the first 200) so I have some neural adaptation to deal with. I'm experiencing a little tightness (no pain) from my injury so I'm being a little hesitant with depth, but I plan to find a few inches in my next training block. The second 200kg set was apparently under comp depth, and the video makes it look a little worse than it is, but still...

Bench +4 chains
60x5
80x5

Awesome work, ice. Have you told your little whiny adductor to man up and get in line?

 

[LiE]

Looked silky ice, dem glutes be strong.

 

[icecold]

Thanks guys

Adductor is currently behaving itself, but I'm under no illusions about who is actually in charge

260x.... ping! Breezing through my sticking point I felt something go horribly in my hamstring. Panicked, got it up on a bench and tested it and it wasn't too bad It really felt like a tear, but within 5 mins I had almost full pain free range. Battered it with various treatments and it isn't too bad now. Hopefully this isn't too serious, but I'm certainly having a easy week!

All in all, absolutely awesome. Comfy 600kg total without my final deadlift. FINALLY got that bench!

I have videos of the squats and deads, including me hopping around after the 260.

 

[Delvis]

600kg total YEAH!!!!

Awesome work man

 

[icecold]

With at least 20kg left on the platform, possibly for a few weeks! That 260kg deadlift was moving nicely, gutted!

Left hamstring feels stiff this morning, but not overly painful.

 

[LiE]

Nice one ice. Your bench is coming along nicely, I better watch out

 

[icecold]

Haha I think you're safe for a little while, it was pretty grindy. Annoyingly I neglected to grab someone for a video :/

Here's the rest of it

 

[Deception]

All we need is some sound effects on the last pull How is it feeling now?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Not bad Ice. Think about the squat you'll be able to get suited and booted! 280-300?

 

[LiE]

Beast!

 

[icecold]

Thanks guys.

Doesn't feel terrible, just tight and a little sore. Sitting on it all day doesn't help.

 

[Delvis]

Sweet! Nice work mate, that first dead flew up!

I hope everythings alrite though man

 

[icecold]

Thanks for the concern!

Yeah the 240 was weird. It seemed to take ages to leave the floor but when it just popped up.

 

[Djdom56]

I love the way you drop the 240, literally makes me lol .

 

[LiE]

I want to do that but I think I may get banned from the gym.
