icecold's training log

Time for a unplanned deload? Don't want that hanging about with the comp no doubt.
260 with mild flu PB, damn mireful!
 
I'm just going to stick to this format of minimal volume for this week and then it's comp week next week.

It's lucky I wasn't hoping for anything big, as that's 100% out of the window now :D

Cheers bud!

Most notable gains are on no lift off bench. Previously I'd get nowhere near the above top single, and any kind of reps with over 100kg would non-existent.
 
Pardon the dumb question, but does "no lift off" mean that you have to unrack the bar yourself?

If so, I never thought this would make too much of a difference (shows what I know!)...? Either way, nice numbers - I haven't tried "strength benching" for ages, so your warmups are still pretty awesome. :D

It's always been worse for me, as I've never been able to get my shoulders in the right position afterwards. I wouldn't have thought training it would make it better, but it seems to be!

Having a poor unrack is worse than doing it yourself, for sure.

I just want the bar to be moved over my shoulders without me having to change their position. I go not want to have to catch the bar as you drop it on me. I also do not want to stop myself from sliding off the bench because you dropped one side first.
