The knee niggle's a bit of a worry, five weeks out from BBro, so I'll hit it with anti-inflammatories, maybe slip starting the next block a day or so, and see how it feels.

teamfatboy Posted October 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Sunday 28 OctoberDid the bench day I missed on Friday...Sheiko 5wk comp, week 1, day 3 (bench only)Bench [warm-ups 2x 20x broomsticks]Triples at 60/70/80, 2x triples at 90, 4x triples at 100, 1x double at 105, two singles at 110. Tried for 115, got stapled about 10cm up... probably could have had it with a bit more focus.Close-grip Press, 5x 10x 40, reversing grip between sets. Get home, check programme, realise those triples at 90 and 100 should only have been doubles... :doh: But happy with that - triples, with the last rep paused each time, at what was my comp PB until a couple of months back, and singles at August comp pb.....Knee is coming right with compression and anti-inflammatories, so we'll see how tomorrow goes.

My copy had press-ups, front-squats and good mornings to come. But Wednesday's supposed to be a skills day, so I'll take the mini de-load and be thankful Knee held up well, loose sleeves for the top-sets.

Same with bench - Gym PB at 115, but a diligent judge might have noticed my backside move... Not so much improvement on deadlifts, but the 200 was easier than in Dunedin, and the conversion from Sumo to conventional needs more work on technique.All in all, not a bad day. :nod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deads felt amazingly light, but that's what the rx said... bench was a bit more of a grind, but good enough. Was focussing as much on little points like keeping feet still, stopping backside from lifting, and watching lock-out. All good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teamfatboy Posted November 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Saturday 24 November Bledisbro ReportSquats - as always, having watched the three flights before me not making depth, I was a little conservative with my opener.180 kg www200 kg rrr - stopped too high205 kg wwr 5 kg pb - Bench - conservative opener100 kg www115 kg www 5 kg pb120 kg rrr - got the bar about 10cm up but stalled and couldn't shift it. Deadlift - again with a conservative opener.180 kg www200 kg www210 kg www 5 kg PB and 10 kg better than Nationals.Total 530 - up 85 kg on last year's BBro twelve months ago, and 20 kg up on Nationals. Overall - I was very happy indeed with that.... especially considering the lengths I had to go to to stay in my weight class, weigh in last then play catch-up with the calories.Squats - "memory for depth" is getting better, my last squat was much better than the second attempt, smoother on the way down, all the way down, and sitting back on heels coming up straight. Bench - never my strongest lift, was the runt in my flight for this lift. Managed to capitalise on the gains I'd seen in training, but need to work harder on driving thru that sticking point. Probably some board work will help with that?Deadlift - I wasn't looking forward to deadlifts, they'd not been clicking in training, but the atmosphere at the BBro's gotta be good for at least ten kg, 'cos the 180 flew up, 200 likewise, but the 210 felt to me like my best lift of the day. Total - 530, was five kg short of my goal. 535 would have qualified me for Oceanias, but... it's too soon, the qualifying events have to be within twelve months. But for me, to have added 20kg in three months is proof that with attention to detail, I can probably meet the standard at the CDs next year, which is a milestone to achieve. I don't know that I could actually go - simply passing the qualifying mark doesn't mean I'm even close to being competitive, but it does give me something to aim at... Thanks to Warren, Ruth and family, the refs who spent a long day, the spotter-loaders, and the great Powerhouse team for a fantastic event. Thanks to TheMightyQuinn for all the encouragement in training, and to Vee for running cards all afternoon. Finally, thanks also to the great folks in my flight - awesome lifting all around. :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
