Loving the sympathy LOL.

Flanders: the 1st was definately harder than it looked, but a) it shouldn't have been and b) I still should have got 2!
Brock: just about sums it up TBH
CK: Yeah, my weakness is off the floor, no doubt, always has been. When I did speed work it really helped and I had been focussing more on that drive recently but of late it's been letting me down again. Once at knee it's not even questionable and I guess that why I can rep so well as the lockout strength is easy and at 205 pulling from the floor isn't an issue. Just don't have time ATM to focus on addressing the tech as the hypertrophy side is going well (shall try and do pics soon)
Jedi: I do and it is

Understand the disappointment but subjectively it's still an outrageous session of pulling, technique on the 235 was lovely. Well done.

It's interesting looking at your deadlifting though, you seem to be much stronger at the top of the lift and your 'sticking point' is much closer to the floor, so that the real graft appears to be getting the bar to the knee and then once you get it past the knee (or thereabouts) the bar flies up. I find this interesting because it's the exact opposite to me! Have you ever considered doing deficit pulls or the like to strengthen that part of the lift? Not to say that the bottom of your pull is weak by any stretch, but it appears to be weaker than the top.

1x235

Sorry?
Surely, you spelled "1" wrong? Surely you meant "3."

Nice one DV... re-written what i'm trying to say here about ten times!!.. but i'll try again... your form masks the effort if you know what I mean, you make the lift look easy and looking at your first rep a fail on the second wouldn't of been predicted... kinda think i've said what I want to

Cheers mate... just annoying to triple 230 but then only single 235. Been a full on few weeks tho and training has gone well, a slow down is inevitable. 205x9 is a PB tho

It'll come

I feel your pain, sunday i nailed a fast 200kg squat, went for 205kg today..result..pinned!

As you say...it'll come!

Shame about the missed double mate, easily done when repping deads i reckon though, lose your line slightly and you can miss easy. No doub't you'll nail that very soon though!

Nice session regardless.

Re:Dirty get back to basics (dirtyvest)

I am fail!!!!

Deadlifts: 10x70, 5x120, 3x160, 2x190, 1x210, 1x235, 9x205 w/2mins rest
Hammer Row: 125x11, 115x10, 105x11 w/90secs rest
Cable Rows V: 87.5x13, 80x13, 75x13 w/90secs rest
Chins: BWx13, 9, 9 w/90secs rest
Kneel Shrugs: 50s x20, 10, 9 w/10 breaths rest

No happy with the failed double.... especially the way the 1st went up. Lost something on the 2nd. Made up for it a bit with the 205x9 but still not happy. The rest of the session then just about held ground, the odd improvement but rare and random.

Training update for today: PP was an =PB, OHP is not, I doubled it back in 2010 before I tore my bicep!!!

Ox: My lockout isn't too bad if I can get it to my forehead, my problem is how far I have to go to get it that far. 110 right now would be a big ask TBH
Flanders: I get more pain in my shoulder doing lat raises than any OH work. You may be right on the CGBP

Nice work DV... looks like you had another in the CGBP!!.. hurting my shoulder just watching the PP go up

Re:Dirty get back to basics (Ox)

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:35:58 GMT

Well you seem to do ok anyway mate. 105kg double now, i'd say a single 110kg is there now, you'll be doubling that in no time, you have a strong lockout - my big weakness i'm trying to address.

I do feel I am missing the white gloves and a glow stick sometimes LOL.

Just wish I didn't have to push from such a low set position cos I really struggle to carry the drive thru such a long ROM. But yeah, all good today. Not sure it'll come before summer as I'll taper back for a few weeks, but summer should hopefully see 110+ going up

Strong mate, very strong. Pushies looked very good, progressing nicely aren't they bud?
Damn nice work. Love the disco look of your gym! Did my pushies in the snow this afternoon lol! Bloody cold! Summer can';t come soon enough lol!

What is wrong with me..... an =PB, a PB yet I had to give myself a firm talking too to convince myself that this was a good session

PP: 8x40, 5x60, 3x70, 3x80, 2x90, F,1x105, 2x105 w/2mins rest
OHP: 3x80, 1,Fx92.5, 9x70, 12x65!? w/2mins rest
Side Lat: 15s x17, 14, 13 w/90secs rest
CGBP: 3x120, 2x135, 10x112.5, 12x102.5 w/2mins rest
Dips: +60x11, +50x11, +40x11 w/90secs rest
Kneeling PDs: 50x16, 45x15, 40x15 w/90secs rest

I was happy withe 105 double, especially after not making it the first time. Dunno what compelled me to try again cos I was not certain I had it today but I dug in and nailed it. I was miffed at missing the strict double tho, 92.5 is (I think) a PB regardless but I soooo wanted the second. Deloaded nicely tho, especially the last set, may have rested longer than thought perhaps.
Triceps were cracking, the 135 double went up quite easily almost and good extra reps on the deloads too. Dips saw extra reps on last week also and PB saw a good couple extra on each set - it was at this point I convinced myself the session was a good one
