Yeeeeeeaaah Buddy- dave's log

How the DE go then?

I like that DE session. Simple and effective.

Nice pulls Dave - congrats on the prs!

Good DE sesh bro

Looking good for the comp.

If you can bring your squat up to your bench and dead in terms of poundage and technique then you will do very well in the future.

GBPF unequipped nationals next year?

Ive finally got the ****ing internet back in my house, been doing my ****ing nut it!

Cheers guys. Training has been continuing among a raft of binge drinking sessions at uni. 

Highlights have included a very easy 150 x 3 squat with my new low bar position. I easily had 6, but I didnt want to push it first week with the new bar position.

I also benched 120 x 6 for a PR, all paused and very solid. 

False alarm about the internet lol its finally sorted now! Training has not existed apart from a few rugby sessions, i ll do 2 deload sessions this week then crack on monday.

Strength seems to be going the right way, some good lifts. Whats with the rugby then? Thought you were giving it a wide berth this year?

I'ev actually been talked into joining a local American Football team. I miss the the social side of team sports so said I'd give it a go.

Back in the ****ing gammmmeeee ladiiiies!!!

Good first session back, benching all felt tight and quick, floor presses were all good.

Solid work.

Looking forward to next saturday. 3 set of squats at 235kg and work up to a top set deadlifting of 240kg. Hopefully try out my new kingfu deadlift slippers! Was soo tempted to get a white leather pair! lol

Im keen mate, i ll get onto the geezer about getting you into the gym. Those slippers are buff!!! Im not sure what I ll do that day, I ll probably try and squat so you can take a look at it.

All very easy, hip pulling after no stretching for a week and both knees totally ****ed after playing rugby on saturday. Lesson learned there! Getting more comfy with the new bar position, 135 couldve easily gone for 10-15.

Solid stuff in here Dave!

135 for 10-15.......holy ****!

Cheers mate, hopefully string some decent numbers together in the near future. Ive just moved my bar position down quite a bit and whilst it feels very strong, squatting for high reps is fairly uncomfortable.

Yeah, low bar can really **** your elbows and shoulders. At least thats my problem with it. But like yourself, I am stronger with it.

**** the high reps!

Yeah high rep squats can **** off for a few weeks while i get used to the new position. Bar feels very light on my back though so i think the low bar is the way forward. I might go high bar for assistance to save the shoulders a bit.

Happy with the squatting, took my stance in a little as my hip has been playing up and these felt very solid. Had more than 6, probably 10 if I pushed it but my knee and hip are not 100% so no point in goig crazy. Shoot for some good numbers next week, I think i ll be finishing up with 150-155 so shoot for a 5+ there.
