Good session. Sumo deads feel very comfortable. 120kg quite easy so a bit more next week. Regret not switching to sumo deads sooner, I'm much more suited to them
Will try 100kg for rows next week... don't anticipate any problems
Was going to go for a cycle earlier but it started raining. Instead a friend and I went to look round the charity shops in Herne Bay. Might go for a ride tomorrow, weather permitting

It's because the only other thing I can think to say when I come in here is "Dan's a douche bag" 
I'm making the switch to sumo deads right now too, so it's nice to read about someone making the same move I am

He's on an evangelising mission from the Church of the Sumo Deadlift. A worthy cause

Cheers Griff. Hope the injury is sorted out soon. They work the legs a lot more so might be exactly what you're looking for. Front squats are also worth a go if you have back trouble

Supersetted with some behind the back upright rows (26kg 3x10). Just trying these out really. Did feel something in the rear delts after this. Not sure if I'll do these regularly though
Shoulder dislocates 4 x 10
Front squat holds: 3 x 35 seconds
Good workout. Overhead press shows no sign of slowing down. Most I've ever pressed is 77kg for five, so if I can match that for eight reps I'll be happy. Not far off 80kg either
Quite a muggy day. Just been to HMV where I purchased the new Sun Kil Moon record, and a King Tubby anthology - can't beat a bit of dub reggae

The version I have upstairs is slightly different, featuring as it does a sample of a toy cow mooing. This one merely has some beeps

i am thinking of listening to the voice in my head that keeps whispering "sumo" as opposed to the one that tells me to be a naughty boy
don't really have anything else to add but to avoid it being a banter only post
nice shrugging

First set of squats felt harder than the second and third ones. Overall this felt easier than 110kg did last week. Will try 114kg next week. Back last year the most I squatted was 114kg x 5, so to rep it for 8 will make me quite happy
'Are You Smarter Than A Ten Year Old' is on in the background. I think this programme is ok, but why are there two presenters? Why does there have to be two? One of them just stands around while the other one jabbers away, so what's the point? Why not just have one? Why? WHY?

Strength good considering I only got 5 hours sleep last night. Actually it might have even been a bit less than that

Bit pushed for time so had to speed through it and miss out the shoulder dislocations afterwards
Sumo deads were fine, as ever the hardest part about them is getting the bar moving; once it's gone up the first four or five inches, lockout is a piece of p1ss
Pleased to get to 100kg for rows finally

Went well, weight on militarys starting to feel difficult now, but will try 77kg next week - would really like to get to 80kg for these
Did some light power cleans between sets of reverse flyes - not very heavy, about 50kg or so, using the hook grip to see how it feels
Song today: 'An Idol Is Falling' by Thoughts of Ionesco:

Quite a scary band according to people who saw them play live
Their 'For Detroit, From Addiction' album has to be one of the best hardcore records ever made

Was really tempted to skip this session due to lack of sleep last night... but glad I didn't as it turned out to be excellent, best legs session I'd had for a while
Tried a tip that I read in fun meter's journal about holding the bar with arms very close - did seem to make the core tighten up even more and the bar felt easier to move, probably due to the improved leverage
114kg for 8... that's a PB too Nearly forgot to mention! Going to give 116kg a try next week
Overhead squats were fun - last set it really felt like I was nailing the form. I might do a few more on monday to practice if time permits
The rest of today I think I'll just lounge about not doing much. Picked up a cheap secondhand copy of Police Squad on DVD yesterday, might watch some of that. A nap is probably in order too!
No song today as youtube seems to be not working - I'm sure people reading this are very upset about that!
