maccaz Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 2 hours ago, bang_bang said: Went in last night intending to hit 190 touch and go and possibly give 200 a nudge but it wasn't to be. Was struggling to get 100kg down to my chest, stupidly kept pushing on and absolutely fried my forearms on 160, 8/10 pain couldn't even grip 15kg dbs to do some flys afterwards. Bit of a bugger must have injured them on Saturday without realising. They felt fine at the time. Weighed 108.8 tonight. Feeling not too flash at all, heats absolutely killing me i can't sleep or do anything really. My girlfriend ends up on the couch most nights due to my snoring lol. Sweating like f*ck every time I eat or touch a weight and just generally feeling like a slob. Definitely time to drop some weight. I find my deadlift improves when I drop weight so I want to focus on that for awhile. It's the only lift I haven't pb'd this cycle. Bench from Saturday, bit quick on the press but got two whites lol. Was expecting it to be a big grind if I got it at all so took the gamble and went as soon as it stopped on my chest In on snoring gains. Im having crap sleeps cos mrs keeps telling me to stfu when i snore. Sick of it. I snore when im skinny too but not as bad bang_bang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang_bang Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Squats 140x5 160x3 180x1 200x1 add soft training wraps 200x1 220x1 230x1 pb 230 came up all good but I was fucked so left it there. Bloody hard work using wraps. Forearms were sore as from rolling them up and was puffed by the time I'd wrapped myself. Had a real hard time unracking/reracking and walking out. I can see the benefit of a mono now. Will squat with a helper and some spotters next week. I think 240 is there. Leg press 6pps 5x12 extensions/leg curls 5x15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I have to say some of the judging was rather poor at the comp from videos I saw. On the other hand I guess it was a struggle just to get judges perhaps. Will be better judging at nationals I hope. But two whites are two whites. what are the training wraps are you using? I don't roll my wraps up I just wrap then as spaghetti. Waste of energy bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang_bang Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Blue slingshots bro. I don't get much out of them maybe 10kg. Oh ok you obviously don't have any trouble getting them tight enough? I'll try that next week. This is all new to me. I was rolling them up with a bit of tension. Couldn't grip the bar hard afterwards my forearms are fucked atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 I don't wrap my knees very tight bro i don't like not being able to feel my feet and calves. had my knees wrapped by someone in Vegas and was a fkn disaster. Way too tight. Was limping out to the platform. Each to their own in regards to tightness and same goes for wrapping methods. I'm not expert I'm actually novice as to wraps just like you. I dislike them like you too. But to be competitive in gpc you gotta use them so that's why I do it. Much same as you feel I imagine. bang_bang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccaz Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 on knee wraps: gotta find sweet spot between too loose and too tight. too tight and its just shit imo, hard to get depth etc. too loose and may as well not wear them. will come with practice. im starting to feel the right spot. macho fgts that brag about wrapping peoples knees so tight bla bla is just lame, no points for tightest wrap lol. on rolling them up tight, id say dont bother. i see people do it and iv tried it myself and dont really notice a difference. i roll mine up loosely just so i can hold it in my hand rather than get tangled with spaghetti, but key is to crank em on tight. dont need them tight in the roll to crank em tight imo. bang_bang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang_bang Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Bench 120x5 forearms toast. Machine chest press 2pps 3x10 incline db flys 15kg 3x12 cable flys 3x15 Ab crunch machine 5x12 Forearms are fuckin annoying. Not gonna bother benching for awhile it just makes them flare up and I can't do anything else. Been slack with pinning last few weeks only done one every 6-7 days. Just gonna run a ml of test for 6 weeks then start a 12 week blast for next meet. Weighed 109.8 today. Want to get down to at least 102-3 before I start next prep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang_bang Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Deadlifts 220x1 240x1 260x1 280x1 Stiff legged deads 120x10x3 Ran out of time Glad to get that monkey off my back and stoked with my form. Kept my shape off the ground instead of doing a ugly stiff legged rounded back deadlift like I used to. Made huge progress with my form. Maxing out my squat with the lads on Saturday then into some proper training next week lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang_bang Posted March 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Friday did arms. Saturday did lats and core, had a few drinks friday night so decided not to squat till monday. Got some worn wraps off Jackson to use so hopefully i'll get a bit more pop out of them. Having a rest day today, weights been floating around 110 all week, starting diet tomorrow lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bang_bang Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2016 Squats 180x3 200x1 220x1 240x1 everything felt easy and light on my back, I think 250 was there. Took me ages so decided to do accessories tomorrow. So that wraps up my heavy training for this cycle. Squat 180 to 240 bench 140 to 180 (would have done 190+ if wasn't injured). Dead 230 to 280 Obviously most of that was covering old ground but hit 10-20kg all time pb's on all lifts. Recomp part of cycle didn't go so well but yolo I'm a PLer lol. I put on 13kg in 12 weeks with little fat gain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
