LiE's Log Part 2

Wrist wraps are HIGHLY recommended for people doing a lot of heavy pressing. I don't get on with them at the moment, but I'm going to have to get used to them.

i orederd same to give them a try. i dont suppose im presssing that much like you PL dudes

...bur near bodyweight OHP's for 7-10 reps and 100kg BP for the same has in the least few weeks strained my wrists for sure. Im thinking more injury prevention than a requirement...age isnt on my side these days! Anyway...thanks Lie

Exactly, better to be wrapping up as a precaution than to have to do it to get through a set.

Djdom56 · 23 Mar 2013 at 14:38

Wrist wraps have the strange affect of just making everything feel lighter in my hands :confused:

, I'll go with it though

Start of triples tonight, 187.5x3x3 squat is on the cards.

icecold · 25 Mar 2013 at 10:33

Sounds like a warm up for you at the moment!

LiE · 25 Mar 2013 at 19:16

Certainly didn't feel like a warm up. They were hard, harder than they should have been. Glutes just weren't firing properly tonight. Still, managed 4 sets

Squats
BAR x lots x2
70x10
90x7
110x3
130x3
150x1
170x1
187.5x3 x4 - should be better next week when things are firing properly. These are all PBs, my previous triple PB was 180x3x1. Gains.

Knee band squats
120x10 x2

DBSS
BWx 12/12 x3 - these were on form tonight, solid.

Nice and simple. Took a while to do the squat working sets. My brother managed 100x3 and 105x3 squats tonight.

Video of knee band squats. Mind is full of **** trying to picture them

LiE · 25 Mar 2013 at 20:38

Basically a squat with a small resistance band between the knees.

Steedie · 25 Mar 2013 at 20:39

I'd put some resistance between your knees...

That didn't quite work

Delvis · 25 Mar 2013 at 20:47

Surely you mean around your knees?

Guessing this could potentially help with knee collapage?

LiE · 25 Mar 2013 at 21:16

Yea it's there to improve my glute med weakness.

LiE · 25 Mar 2013 at 21:45

Video.

Set 4 from the side (not the best view)

Here's my bro doing 100x3, he did 105x3 after this. He's still not used to squatting, but he's getting there.

Delvis · 25 Mar 2013 at 21:51

Mate, that really easy for him, darn kids a LiE in the making!

Id fail 100kg if i tried it currently at depth

Djdom56 · 25 Mar 2013 at 22:53

Joozy skwoting brah!

Mad jelly of all yo gains

.

Also props to your bro, he is getting on nicely

.

LiE · 25 Mar 2013 at 22:59

Cheers Dom. Not sure where all these gains are coming from!

icecold · 25 Mar 2013 at 23:08

Was that a fart on the first rep of the last set? Mirin.

PBs are PBs, still storng bro.

Your (real)bro needs more reps, but that's some nice weight to be moving at his level.

LiE · 25 Mar 2013 at 23:18

Lol may have farted, that core tightness!

I made him do some volume after, but yea triples will be swapped for more reps for the next few weeks.

Djdom56 · 25 Mar 2013 at 23:51

This is going to be a good year at nationals. Ocuk taking it by storm

icecold · 25 Mar 2013 at 23:56

Gas gains.
