LiE's Log Part 2

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 09:29

It's the lack of fuel, you really feel it. Also my mental focus isn't dialled in either. Really hoping I get my car back this week.

I don't have anything too structured at the moment. I'm trying to bring my squat up and doing paused bench. Deadlift I'm hammering away at. You can see from my past workouts what they look like.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 09:36

No vids of the benching sadly. I'm going to try get one later in the week when I revisit them. I feel a bit of an idiot asking 1 guy to spot me and another to film me

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 09:46

Video.

Note the fart at the bottom of rep 1, completely put me off lol!

CORE TIGHTNESS FART!

Really shouldn't have problems keep my knee out.

Yea I think you're right, the stance isn't quite right. I think that explains why I'm squatting at an angle. I like to make things easy for myself

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 10:01

Are the same faults present in the 175 video? I think it could be weakness, as I rarely go near these weights in the past.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 10:09

Any idea where the weakness would likely lie? I'll obviously need to work on them.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 10:17

Just been informed I could have gone gym tonight as my wife isn't working tonight now FUUUUU. I'm tempted train tonight again, more squats.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 10:36

Single leg work is something I've never done before. Any recommendations? Thanks.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 13:03

Do you push your knee out like in a squat?

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 13:18

Thanks. I'll give them ago tonight along with some lighter squats and perhaps this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m75lHgzxpI (the looks I'll get will be worth it)

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 14:21

The weird glances are more reason to do it!

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 14:26

Bring along a foam roller and lacrosse ball and do some glute/piriformis soft tissue work. They'll remember you, and your tears.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 15:09

Brah, I TGU the weight onto my back.

LiE · 29 Oct 2012 at 19:18

Legs are destroyed.

Got 2 videos of some more squats tonight, I don't know if it's the angle but to me it looks like I'm squatting at an angle. On the 130kg set knee starts to get worse.

Split Squats were an eye opener. It took me 3 sets before I was able to balance properly, also my left leg is much weaker.

Glute Bridges were good, hamstrings got pretty fried from it.

Humping dat bar.

Hmmm yeah your knees are even coming in on the 110kg set.

Do you think you can be stricter?

I've been slacking off the mobility for the past few weeks, so I'm probably tight. I'll do some mobility each day this week and see if things have improved on Friday.

Loving the peak contraction on the last rep .

That all looks nice, but you may want the bench a shade closer to the step on the DBSS. Ice will be able to clarify since he has done a lot more of them than me .

It was a pretty cool exercise, but the noise and attention it gave was funny.

Lol, lots of staring i bet

Oh yes, plenty

LiE · 30 Oct 2012 at 10:19

Give it ago

LiE · 30 Oct 2012 at 10:30

I only weigh 82kg so I'm too light baby.

LiE · 30 Oct 2012 at 21:27

Yea that's something I've been thinking about. I'll have a play on Friday.

You should give the split squats ago.

LiE · 31 Oct 2012 at 15:48

Going for a later training time tonight. The plan is to do some deadlifts, keep things a bit lighter and work up towards 200kg while trying to improve form/tightness.

Going to have another crack at 135x3 paused bench, I'll try and get a video for ice
