Tough session in the heat today. Equipped lifting is HARD work!! Decided to try on my new bench press shirt I have had a while now. However, despite some hard work and sweat from all 3 of us there, just couldn't get it quite seated in the arm pits so I new I would get now real work in, but at least I started to break the shirt in. Once I concentrate on equipped work in july and I get this shirt working it should be fun! Did some work in my 2nd hand bench shirt that I can put on myself and did some good stuff. Just couldn't get it to touch but did some hard singles non the less. The unequiped work piror to all this equipped fun was solid, but a tad harder than it should have been.
Despite concentrating on the unequipped training in the lead up to june's Euro's I may put the shirt on once more prior.

Good session today. Was a little subdued, but got the work in which is the main thing. The double with 200 was good and the 1st single with 210 was too, but felt drained after that and lost my balls! Needed a kick up the arse at this point! Shouldn't have bothered with the knee wraps. I am not experinced enough with them to throw em on in this manner at the backend of a session and expect to be flying with them. Back down sets where cool. Apart from 180 they all could have been classed as speed sets.
Nxt week I'll be taking it easy in the lead up to the gym comp on saturday then start back up to peak at the Euro's late june

Good session mate.
Did you find you had to kind of re-educate the way you squatted in a suit? Tried my first squat in mine today and it felt very strange!

Yes. Infact doing suited squats throws of my raw technique. When equipped I have a slightly wider stance and turn out of the feet, plus I sit back more into the squat.
I won't be in a suit for a while though, as my nxt comp is an unequipped one. It's good fun once you get a handle on it but hard work. Getting used to walking out and setting up makes a big difference.

Power snatch:
20x5x2
50x3
60x3
65x2
70x1 (pb lol)
Pulls (snatch and clean grip):
50x5x5
Rolling thunder:
Both hands- 30x5, 40x5, 50x3 then...
RH- 60x1x3, 40x max holds x 3
LH- 55x1, 50x3x3, 40 x max holds x 3
Just mondays 'get the blood moving' session, only with less naff lifts today! 70kg was a pb because it's only the 2nd time I have ever done a power snatch, and the last time I didn't attempt anything over 50kg  . I could have done more, even with my bastard technique! It would be cool to do 200lbs in the power snatch. We'll see if I can get it in regular?

It's a grip tool/lift. A smooth, rotating, think handle attached to a loading pin made by Ironmind. Mobster is very good at the lift. I aint and should do more as I enjoy grip training.

have you tried the metal make of suits ?
No only Titan. They are expensive and I havn't met anyone who's recomended them over titan and inzer for single ply stuff.

Ah that's what it is.. Strange that your DL is nearly three times your rolling thunder max.
Shows how much mixed grip helps. I've picked up a 50kg DB so I guess that is about my max lol.

My DL is 3.78x my RT max! It's not too strange Jack
Rolling thunder is;
-a one handed lift
-thick grip
-no knurling
-the handle rotates
I have lifted 120kg (years ago with when I hand a weaker grip and could pull only 220kg) using the same loading pin but using a ring, so you can see how hard this specific handle is.
The mixed grip dose help loads though, as I would probably struggle with 180-200 using an overhand grip!

I made my own rolling thunder clone- I didn't know the spec though -Mine is only 1.875" thick, smooth and rotating and the official size is 2.375" I believe. I did 200 with mine..what do suppose i could do with the RT ? 70-80kg?

200kg or lbs?!?!
Not sure Tommy, if it was is in lbs then guess 70-80kg would be about right, however I reckon you'd be closer to or on 80kg.
