Vee Power

[runveerun]

Hard to believe how it's possible, but OB and Ruth seem to better their already well-run comps every time they host one :clap: For a few noobs we did ok I think, I was one of the guys on the right-hand side (as you're looking at the stage), only one in shorts, oops haha

Aha! I thought that might have been you it was either that or the other guy on the other side who was a little taller. Anyway good job! :grin:

Left small pieces of Vee in the gym totally buggered now.

Bench was easy, I changed my foot width on squat and it felt stronger and slightly easier. My footing has gotten messed up along the line and I have to remember to bring it in slightly as it has been really wide which just sucks.

Jeepers vee, you just can't get a break at the mo, can you...

That's a big workload for being ill, tho... good on you for tackling Boris while flu-ridden - esp the 85% squats :shock:

:notworthy:

Bench was good, it got easier as it went along, this is my favourite ex ATM, sorry deadlift but I'm sure I will go back to favouring you later.

Deads were all good 80's were getting taxing I have brought my stance in a little bit as with my squat and I am more stable the bar comes off the ground faster.

Off to Sporkland today with work for 2 days so cammed in another session before I leave.

Bench was getting messy towards the end of the first lot. I felt totally fine from yesterday but sometimes you really don't know how you are until you are under the bar! Some days you can feel awful and get a PB some days feel fine and can't lift 80% grrrrrrr.

Will test on Wednesday when I get back see where I am at! Woop! :grin:

Over and Out! :salute:

Went great thanks BB. I have been so busy readjusting my schedule to train le evening I have been in a daze this week! Got home from training on Wednesday night and left my lights on in the car, luckily my neighbours text me 2 hours later to tell me! Not sure if car will start I haven't checked since :doh:

Got a gain on Squat which I am pleased about as I was having difficulty with my last max last time I checked :oops:

Bench got my previous max up strong just couldn't quite make the next increment without being spotted so cant count that.

Deads got a lesson in technique which was great as I have ended up in a weird position somewhere between sumo and conventional and I really want to be conventional style! So practiced that instead of getting to max. I will test dead max this weekend and have another go at bench max too as I should have been able to get another 2.5kg up, may have just been buggered from squat or again technique is prolly an issue too.

I start #32 on Monday so will go do some #37 tonight and some GPP over the weekend. It's all good I have alot to learn! :grin:

[runveerun]

It's all good I have alot to learn! :grin:

And it is continual...just when you think you have one lift mastered something else will need attention. I'm sure seasoned lifters have to reset things every now and then. If you are getting little gains here and there that's what its all about.

Box squats are a great way to your improve squat and know that you are getting depth :nod: And you are in the best place to learn a mountain of experience there. KUTGW

[teamfatboy]

Wow - nice deads.....

Bar-belle's words of wisdom are spot-on.... I tried conventional deads a while back after an absence and it took a while to get the groove going.

Good luck with the deadlift test :nod:

Absolutely BB! It's a never ending subject huh! It's great at the house being around others that lift instead of being amongst spin classes!! I would like to marry the house it is just awesome :grin: 8)

Weeelll I was looking at this week on #32 which I started today BTW and on Wednesday I go up to 95% soooo I thought I would just carry on with the deads then. Not sure if this is right thing to do but thought it would be betterer than doing it twice in a week?

Had some solid advice from Maria about setting up on a squat so practiced that too. It's really nice to have this help! :grin:

[steak]

and she would know Vee :nod: Polished lifter with great technique...Zane is another one too. You have the best to lean on down there and nice peeps too. Keep on cracking away at it..Im keen to see how you go as you have a great work ethic :nod: :clap:

It's amazing when you have somebody so bloody good at something show you how to do it. Maria explained herself really well and it made sense, it's quite awe-inspiring!

I have Soooooo much to learn!
