haven't documented my training the past few days, but here's what's been happening. Since I'm off to Canada next week it's just a bit of fun really, but still shooting for big weights.
Monday 23/5/11
Squat- 60/5/5, 100/5, 140/5, belt on 190/3, wraps on 230/3, 250/1
Front Squat- 50/10, 60/10, 70/10, 80/10
Leg Extension- 3sets of 20reps at 40k for knee rehab
Tuesday 24/5/11
Axle Press- 66/3/3, 106/3, 126/2, 136/1, 146/f Using the new fixed axle, I was mega pissed off at miss that weight so just packed my stuff up and left. In hindsight I haven't used a fixed axle before, was a few days post comp etc so I shouldn't beat myself up about it.
Thursday 26/5/11
Deadlift- 60/5, 100/5, 140/5, 180/3, suit on 220/3, 270/1, 295/1/1, suit off 260/8/5 (t&g) Trying out the suit I used at BP from the florr and it gives nothing... likely cause it's a Metal Viking Squatter V-Type. I wanted 10 with the 260k, but I had no air at all left in me.
Squat- 60/8, 100/5, 140/20 (rehband belt), 160/20 (lever belt)
Abs to finish.

I'm sure you'll catch some of it one of the days, MT interview!

Very poor session today, really off form for some reason so just focussed on assistance work and tried to develop a plan to break this barrier.
10/5/11
15" Deadlift- 120/5, 170/5, 220/3, 270/1, 300/1, 320/1, 330/f
Deadlift- 120/3, 170/3, 220/3, 260/2
Seated GMs- 40/10, 60/10/10, 80/10/10/10
