3/2/08

Deadlifts- 60/5, 100/5, 140/5, 180/2, 220/1, 250/1, 280/f Used the dive technique for the deadlift on the 280 set, but mucked up the grip so was dedlifting it with only the fingertips on the right hand. Got it to just about the knee but the fingers couldnt hold on. Feel confident to nail it with a conv. tech since the 275 was good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H8sLLRnIlM

Thick Handle Van Hold- 120/1, 200/1, 280/1, 360/1, 440/33 seconds PB

Duck Walk- 150/10m, 150/20m in 21 seconds PB Both were PBs cause they were no drops apart for the turn at 10m on the second set.

Farmers Hold- 70/5s, 110/5s Didnt want to push it too hard since the van hold was really good, so just a lift and held for a count of 5 breaths.

Hi mate, nice work.
On the deadlifts, are you trying to set a new pb everyweek?
Im not sure myself which way to go with either triples every week and a pb attempt every 4-6 or just try and add something every week for a single.

no not a pb everyweek just do whatever i think need to be done and alot of the time it seems to be a pb

Ah right, are you doing singles every session though?

I was doing the coan/ phillipi deadlift routine so it was doubles for a good 6weeks and then I stopped managing the doubles that were planned out and only got singles.

Ive been doing more rep stuff since the end of the routine, but today I just wanted a single at the 280 for a confidence boost for my comp this coming Saturday.

Thats me 5 days out. Plan is to eat a good bit of extra carbs from Wednesday onwards and hit the supermarket for a whole host of supplies for the comp on Wednesday or Thursday.

Lots of lovely sweet potato from Wednesday!

Im Going To Scotlands Strongest Man!
