ThreeWhiteLights Posted August 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 First week of 6's on presses this week all v ez and will increase pp to 100x6x4 next week after 95x6x4 today. Here is set 3 and 4. Kinda miss grooved rep 4 in the 3rd set bit of a laugh. Here's a random vid of my narrow grip that I do as assistance mainly for overhead. Looking to do some bench comps early next year in the 93s so good to keep this up. OnlyHuman and Skeletor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Whats the purpose of the fat bar mate? Grip strength? You made those look effortless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made those look effortless.In most strongman comps there will be an overhead lift. Either axel or log (sometimes both) so trying to get better at cleaning it - I have little baby hands and not a big enough gut/shelf to rest the bar on so have to lean back quite a bit.

ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Doing my incline in the Reactive Slingshot at the moment as it keeps my shoulders safe. Try to pause each rep to negate the elasticity of the slingshot and just use it as a tool to keep my elbows tucked.120x5 Some of push press for this week 100 for 6's all fairly comfortable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 102.5kg x 4 x 4 Axel Continental Clean and push press. Legs were pretty lethargic today so leg drive wasn't where it needed to be. 4x4 again next week either with 105 or 107.5 depending on warm ups Alphens88 and Skeletor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigken1985 Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Do you think there is alot of benefit to training with a fat bar for powerlifters also. What movements do you think are the best with it, just scored a bit of 50mm pipe from work. Was going to try just benching to start with ThreeWhiteLights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Well the axel / thick bar will have no flex so that will make the lift more challenging than on an olympic bar. The bigger diameter means the bar is further away from your centre of gravity. The thickness will tax your grip. All of these are sure to make lifting on a nice 29mm Eleiko feel easy. You're sure to make some gains on your forearms doing thick bar training imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Did some strict axel 4x4, prone rows 5x5, pullups and finished on some viking press which is my new favourite shoulder accessory and features in an upcoming comp I might do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2015 Did shoulders and upper back yesterday. Was strict axel, prone row 5x5, seated DBs (first time doing these in over a year). Ran out of time so will do pullups and facepulls today.Prone row was 100kg x 5 x 5. This is one of the sets. See heaps of bullshit rows going on in most gyms..really hard to cheat on this variation. Skeletor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2015 Cheers fellas. Would be nice to get another ten either side though :evil: :evil: :evil: Did 4 doubles on axel push press today here is set 3 of 4. Gotta get the groove a bit better on the heavier weights. Last week of doubles next week might go 112 or 115 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted September 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 Today was 4 heavy doubles on strict axel. All moved relatively well here is the 4th and final set had to film on a friend's phone as mine died. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Upped a vid of how I get DBs to rack position. Anyone else do it like this? I find it much easier than kicking it up off knee.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyreguy Posted October 2, 2015 Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 I used to lift one up myself (with both hands) and just get one of the pt`s ready with the other. :-) ThreeWhiteLights 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted October 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2015 PB PB PB!! 120kg Axel Push Press from rack. Feel there is a little more in the tank too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted October 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Did a single at 170 in the Reactive Slingshot yesterday after my close grip work. Ass came off the bench a bit so 3 red lights there. Moved a bit slow after the cg bench. Â Today was shoulders and upper back assistance back to high reps again 4x12s on all exercise. Here is a set of strict press 60kgx12 on the axel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted October 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Bench wave up to 3 singles at 85%. Trying to make every rep look exactly the same as the last. Couple more weeks of tapering off and I'll have a crack at 160https://instagram.com/p/86t0GmBXo2/?taken-by=chrislatham23 OnlyHuman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted October 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Got an IFSA spec competition log made up by Kevin at GetStrength. It's just over 12 inches in diameter and its a beasty. Weighs 92 and some change unloaded. Gave it a blast today on some easy sets of 5. Haven't done log since July but hoping to get technique back fairly quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeWhiteLights Posted December 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2015 Haven't posted in a while as training hasn't been much to write home about. Just keeping the upper body stuff ticking over and doing bodyweight stuff for lower body. Finally had my lumbar discectomy surgery for my L5/S1 disc protusion that has inhibited me from squatting or deadlifting for a long, long time. 6 weeks off the gym now (I've previously never had more than 3 days off) then back into rehab after that. Long road ahead but will hope to post again in the future. Some vids from my last bench session pre surgery  Can hit this for triples any day of the week now.   Was supposed to be an amrap but bitched out lmao  Parts of the disc they took out that was pressing on the sciatic nerve  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
