Bigken1985 357 Report post Posted December 11, 2016 Ok, time to re-assess some goals. Have put some weight on since nationals, not lots, but more than im comfortable with, sitting at around 97-98. Carrying far too much fat if im completely honest. Diets been pretty average tbh. Im not super tall so i think i would carry less weight no problem. First goal is to get to around 90kg, i was never huge as a kid and when i was younger, at one point i was pretty darn lean at 72ish, its just since powerlifting ive bulked up alot. I realize my lifts may take a hit, but it wont be forever, will keep trying to get stronger as much as i can Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shoulder is a bit jakked up atm, so just being mindful on the pressing. pretty sure its the incline causing most of it so will limit them for now. Has a strange moment on DLs, was doing mix grip, and they felt slow and like ass, tried a single with hook grip, and pulled it way faster than the mix. My back feels like it gets torqued a bit doing mix. Might have to persevere with the hook Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely there's exercises that will work better for carry over to your main lifts than that ? Because i enjoy trying new lifts, and tbh. Since ive been doing different variations ive been less injured and my back feels ALOT better. This time last year my back was snapped the f*ck up, People i think are way too caught up in just doing/ doing variations of the big 3. And also its not as boring and keeps things interesting. My mid back certainly is feeling it today Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty fatigued though, so no heavy DL really for a while. Its weird though. I seem to be able to get decent weight up that id have to get hyped for with no fuss/ammonia. Was thinking of going to 200 but i kept it smooth. No grinding if i can help it lifting this way. Also getting over a flu/cold thing. Also this was first time back in flats in ages so not too bad 2 HarryB and Rorso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
