Yeeeeeeaaah Buddy- dave's log

Is it wise to be getting back into rugby as the comp is approaching? Looking back through yoiur training, there's a clear difference between training whilst playing rugby and training when not - when you are playing you're training usually suffers, either from injuries or fatigue. You've made fantastic progress up to this point, it would be a shame for it to grind to a halt just for a few games of rugby.

When is the Uni Championships anyway? I need to get that date in my diary.

21st-22nd nov LMC. We'll no doubt be lifting off on the 22nd sunday.
 
I agree with LMC about rugby, but I guess you enjoy it and have commitments. But play safe! :)

Only game I ll get to play this season mate because of my knee really, starting treatment next week and wanted to get a game in. Not playing or training now until after the comp. Going in to next week fresh and shooting for some good stuff, hopefully 155 x 6 squat, 125 x 3-4 bench and not quite sure on the deadlift.

Been sorting my life out PhD wise these last few weeks and im only just getting into a routine so hopefully everything will be sweet from here on out!

"Been sorting my life out PhD wise these last few weeks" - I thought you were on the piss every night during fresher's week

Oh yeah obviously, but that was a deload week. Im trying to keep it to once of twice a week so it doesnt disrupt training.

Various abs

150kg x 4 was hard but the first one was pleasingly fast. Potentially couldve ground out another one but it wouldve been touch and go.

Are you still gona squat this sat????

Nice! Strong squatting Dave.

Iain, no Im not mate, Im pulling on saturday but I might go a few light squats afterwards so you can take a look at them.

Im mainly coming to service you

You better swallow then!

Current plan is were're getting a lift of the inlaws into Exeter and probably getting in for 10. Let us know were you want to meet? I assume I can get a lift to the Uni. Will call.

Nice work Dave; lots of power cleans!

Everything looks good, squats are a funny one, once you get a style that works for you, i'm sure they will fly up. The back/ham strength is there for a big one!

Cheers guys. Benching today. Ive got getting you into the gym sorted out Iain, just need you to sign a disclaimer.

Cool. Will ring tonight xox
