also read the Q and A on www.elitefts.com

ask if you dont understand anything

Complexes:

deadlift, high pull, row, shoulder press, squat, hang snatch- 8 reps each, 4 trips with 30kg

deadlift, high pull, row, shoulder press, squat, good morning, BTN push jerk- 8 reps ech, 2 trips with 40kg

binned the hang snatches, too hard on the grip. ****ing hard work.

I love complexes as a form of conditioning... but hate doing em lol

lol the crap bench sesssion im going to put in tomorrow might cheer you up

Fingers crossed then

Na, I joke though, honestly I do.... ......

I'm benching tomorrow. No weights for the last couple of days, so hoping to smash some pb's. I'll be very happy 7reps @ 107.5, but this the way this cycle is going, will be more like  2-4. We shall see!

Being ill and losing weight killed my bench, only just back up to par really so I have no idea what I ll get out. 120 tomorrow, 5 would equal PR, small chance of that happening though. Probably a 3 if im lucky.

Bench 5/3/1 day... before I got to the gym I resolved to only take 120 for a single (this was the perscribed single for the day) and then take a heavier single or two to see where I actually am with my pressing at the moment

Bench

bar x 10
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
95kg x 5
107.5kg x 3
120kg x 1
130kg x 1
100kg x 3
100kg x 3

The 130 was not a max and moved well enough. I considered rolling on a 140, but decided against as there was no real need. The nature of the 130 puts me at 137.5-140 right now I think, so with 8 weeks training before the uni meet I should be on for a PR there hopefully.

reverse band press* bench grip

80kg x 3
100kg x 3
120kg x 4
140kg x 3
150kg x 3
*medium grip from here*
130kg x 5
130kg x 5

*I used choked light bands today instead of the usual doubled mini's. The bands took 40kg at the chest and 20kg at the top. Im keeping these in simply because rev. band pressing took my bench from 130 > 140 a few months back, so I know they work for me.

Bent over row

60kg x 10
70kg x 10
80kg x 10
90kg x 8
100kg x 10

Rack chin ss light band lat pulls

Lol cheers champ, ive listened too much to Wendler's dip fetish with regard to my assistance and fagged out on heavy pressing, so its back now!

To be fair who cares if your competing equiped? Id imagine locking out some of the big weights you take in the shirt would keep your raw bench ticking over at the very least!

It dose your right. Gives you good set up and stability. When you do go back to serious raw benchin it comes back quick. When i did a months work for raw worlds last year m bench was smoking within 2 weeks. However too much as I was spent when it came to meet time lol

Lol I think the reverse band does something similar for my bench, locking out a load of heavier reps makes the weight feel a lot lighter and makes it easier to stay tight and to drive off the chest fast.

Spoke to matey from sugden...sounds pretty strong for U75kg - 160/120/230

Yeah he dose pal. Guessing they are gym lifts and all but even take 10 of each and a 500 total @75 raw is good going!
 
I may be down Exmouth way in school half term (mid oct) I'll keep you posted obvously. Be good though to have a pre-Un champs sess.
