Pausing ATG provides different training stimuli. It's not useless for LiE, but what we really want to reinforce the weakest position of his competition squat.
 
Long sweaty training tonight.

12/07/13

Deadlift
70x7
100x5
120x3
150x3
170x1
192.5x5
182.5x5
182.5x5
Thoughts: Weights were a little too heavy tonight, my body isn't used to training posterior chain 3 x week, so need to keep this in mind next time. Tight as well which meant some lower back loading. Forgot to chalk up properly for my top set which made things fun.

RDL
70x6
110x2
127x7
120x7
120x6
Thoughts: Fail count! was supposed to be sets of 6. Weight was fine but DOH grip was the weak link.

Bulgarian Split Squats
25x5/5 x2
35x5/5 x3
Thoughts: These are really tough, mainly because my core was raped and I was loading this exercise by holding 1x25 and 1x10 plate against my chest. RIP.

OHP
40x5
50x2
60x5
55x5 x2
Thoughts: no drama.

BOR
40x10
70x10
80x10
80x10
70x9
Thoughts: It was interesting trying to do these with a fatigued core.

Paused Roll outs x lots

That be some pretty heroic work capacity, you on speed? :D

Out of interest, as a former MKer, from which parts do you hail? Any idea if they still got that crazy gym down Coffee Hall?
 
I live in Oxley Park, it's a new estate. It's mostly chain gyms, except one in Wolverton which is more hardcore. I've trained at most of the gyms round here at some point, very pleased I can train at home.

120x1
140x1

142.5x3

Thoughts: oh man, destroyed. Learnt a little about my deadlift. Need to create more torque, I think I'm quite lazy when it comes to performing the lift conventionally, no room for that here.

80x3
110x5
105x5
105x5
105x5
Thoughts: firing well tonight.

Wide Paused Pull ups

Thoughts: chains were 9kg here. Much easier doing these this weak.
 
Off to Thorpe Park tomorrow and Thursday wasn't a viable training day, so got in the gym tonight. It did mean lifts were down a little due to training yesterday, but overall numbers were up on last weeks poor training day. Next week I should blow these numbers away.

Squat
BARxlotsx2
70x7
100x5
120x3
150x1
170x5
160x5
160x5
Thoughts: +20kg from last week on my working sets. Could feel the power was down from yesterday's paused deadlifts. Looking forward to where I can take these with proper rest.

3ct Paused Squat
100x2
140x3
132.5x3
132.5x3

Pin Press
BAR
70x6
90x3
110x2
130x5
122.5x5
Thoughts: +10kg from last week, but dropped a set as I was fatiguing quickly, no surprise as I did chest yesterday.

Single Arm DB Bench Press
24x5/5 x5
Thoughts: These are getting much easier, will be bumping the weight up next week to see where I can get with them.

Band Face Pulls x lots
 
Forgot to write up Friday's training. Didn't really feel this, was very hot but got on with it. Certainly didn't hold back before the strongman meet, probably a bad idea in hindsight :p

Thoughts: Loved adding chains in.
 
Damn tonight was all kinds of horrible! Heat, fatigue and strongman DOMS. I've also slacked on food today because I've been off work and away from my daily routine.

Dude that was a sneaky edit!

Sounds like you've got a bit of home gym blues, topped off with return to work/post holiday blues. Stick with it fella, do one national meet and then see where you want to take things. 3 months to go mate.
 
Yea don't worry, was a bit annoyed at my training today but deload next week then some chain gains shall see me on track.
