Wow, nice work..... that's one thing I haven't done up at t'House... will have to try to get that done before the Novice for technique and depth.

This took 20 mins, I started at 2 lengths a minute for the first 5 mins, then slllllooowwwed down somewhat along the way.

PB before was 16 lengths- 8 of each. I intended to do 20 lengths today but decided to push a little harder and do 24 lengths.

The diet is super tight down 700 grams this week :shock: weighed in at 63.8kg this morning, I haven't seen that side of 65kg for sometime :pfft:

So I will see what this week brings, I'll just carry on eating all the boring food :pfft:

[drizzt]

Nice work today ma'am! May I make a suggestion on your push presses? (I was going to say something at the time, but didn't want to be that annoying "know-it-all" that interrupts your workout and tells you how to exercise :pfft:)

When you were doing the press, the bar looked like it was in front of you/your centre. Just a little adjustment; as soon as it gets above your head try and force your head through and under the bar. This puts you in a stronger pressing position, and hopefully you'll find the weight/movement much easier!

Seemed to help my press when I started implementing it last year - just a suggestion!

[runveerun]

Thanks Drizzt, I know what you mean, like you kinda have to have your arms behind your ears huh? I swear I end up making my own versions of things up all the time. TFB has corrected MANY of my dodgy accessory stuff :pfft:

Thanks for the advice sir, much appreciated 8)

Feel free to come and tell me I take it well, and lord knows I need the advices! :pfft:

[teamfatboy]

Thanks sir! I squat on Tuesdays and Saturdays if you want to join in anytime you are most welcome :grin:

Ima thinking after the Novice, that could be a good way to build up to the CDs, assuming I qualify :pray:

Had DEEP TISSUE massage again on Friday evening, there is now one VERY stubborn muscle that just won't un-tense, pesky thing. But the massage was oh so good/painful so felt like I had been beaten with a baseball bat yesterday so decided to do day 3 today.

Good day at the office. I videoed my squats and watched them back after each set. Form breaks down as I get tired, my main concern has been depth I just need to keep an eye on it, they looked all OK today. Sometimes I'm in a squat and it feels awful like the worse squat in the world so slow and yuk and then watching it back ad it doesn't look too bad :-s Is this just the inner struggle that makes it feel 10000000000 times worse than it looks? :shock: :pfft:

Walking to the house, Webb street is COVERED in feathers and Taranaki street is covered in metallic confetti, why can't it normally be like that? :pfft:

Alright! Here's a edited vid of todays trainering.

I put in some of my last sets, I didn't put all my squattage in or it would have been an hour long :shock: seriously.

[M.T]

Nice work Vee thanks for chucking up due to peer pressure :wink:

[teamfatboy]

Nice work there, Squatmeister :clap:

Wish I could nail that kinda consistency on depth rep after rep after rep.

How were those six-rep sets ?

[runveerun]

No worries sir it's good to get some feedback, I think those 67.5kg reps look a bit dodge actually depth wise :doh:

The 4x 6 reps for round 2 were killer, I have a video of Beast yelling at me "keep it tight KNEES OUT!" etc in the second to last set which was good actually it got me to do just that :salute: . Videoing yourself is good, watching it back after each set, it gives you reassurance as to where you are/aren't. I have been doing it once a week since last comp as I don't want to not get depth!

[Viking Power]

Actually VP :pfft: :pfft: Your squat techinque had improved since last time I saw you well done, also glad to see someone is training to complete good depth and consistant 8)
