Thanks

let's see if I can keep some good strength with a 2 week deload.

LiE · 5 Jun 2013 at 20:12

With holiday approaching I decided to mix things up tonight for legs.

Squat
BAR x lots x 2
70x8
90x6
110x3
130x3
150x1
170x1
190x1
200x1 - wasn't too bad
215x1 [PB] - nice 5kg PB and it wasn't slow either.

Paused Bench Press
wanted to do some singles and see if my chest was up to it, apparently not which makes sense since I haven't recovered. Next week perhaps.
BAR x lots x2
60x6
80x3
100x1
120x1
140x1 - could feel that lack of recovery so stopped here.

DBSS
10x10/10
20x10/10 x2

Knee Band Squat
120x10

Glute Med band goodness

Easy mode pb, awesome depth

LiE · 5 Jun 2013 at 20:38

Thanks. The depth isn't ideal, it's an effect of me not sitting back enough. When I get to depth if I don't fully sit into the squat I create room by shunting my knees forward some, which I don't really want to do.

Syla5 · 5 Jun 2013 at 20:57

Your hitting depth before your knees shunt, your knees go when you go quite a bit below paralell. It doesn't appear to be causing any rounding and if your knees are not collapsing what's the issue?

Sure, it wasn't the cleanest rep you've ever done but CRIKEY! :eek:

Epic lifting, LiE! Well done!

LiE · 5 Jun 2013 at 21:00

I know, which is where I would normally end my squat, but lack of control and some loss of tightness means I'm going a little lower. I don't like something like that happening when it's not intentional. I corrected it on some other singles and they felt much better.

Djdom56 · 5 Jun 2013 at 23:41

Lovely!

Agreed, could have done it cleaner but still an easy rep. Nice work bro!

icecold · 5 Jun 2013 at 23:53

Epic lifting mate! Not surprising with the way training's been going

LiE · 6 Jun 2013 at 08:45

Thanks. I was surprised how it went up, I didn't hit a wall like usual which is a good sign.

Probably shouldn't have done singles TBH as I had some mid back tightness from playing with the dog (I know..). Tightness has turned into mild snaps so need to jab it. Nothing serious but I think it highlights a need to work on my bracing more and the possible consequences of doing a rounded upper back deadlift.

icecold · 6 Jun 2013 at 13:54

Stay out of the snap cave bro, it's not nice in here.

LiE · 6 Jun 2013 at 14:10

Yep, I've had this a few times before, it's just sore now from overuse. Needs some heat and jabbed with something hard.

icecold · 6 Jun 2013 at 14:11

See, it's my reaction to the last sentence of your post that confirms that I'm still a child.

LiE · 6 Jun 2013 at 14:23

I smiled when I wrote it, but it needed to be done!
