Really light session. Been sick since Friday so wasn't going to train until tommoroe but came right this afternoon so got session in.  Thinking by thurs I'll be 100%. Kinda good to get the winter cold out the way now rather than come up any closer to nationals. Can't help it but wasn't too bad.

6/7

 

deadlift

to 285x3x2, 260x2

 

hamstring curl

3x15

 

lat pull down

3x15

 

damn those were hard. Was programmed as 285 doubles for 6 sets. I almost failed the 3rd set then dropped it to 260 and moved like crap. Still not recovered from being sick was sweating lots and no stamina set to set. so taking tmw off training and come back Friday. I filmed the first set 285x2 so here is the video. The point being I wanted to film the first and the sixth. Oh well no point trying to push and rush back when the body's not ready.

7/7

 

squat

to 255x2x3, 220x3x3, 200x8

 

leg press

7ppsx3x12

 

leg extension 

3x15

 

decided to train today felt better. 255s were wrapped other sets no wraps. Found the hoist leg press at my gym... Wow best leg press I have ever used. Gains coming. 7 weeks Saturday till nationals, might not log my training on here from then maybe just give quick weekly updates. Everyone read my journal and gives them big advantage. 

 

video is 2nd triple at 255.

Not sure it gives anyone an advantage. What happens is they see what you're lifting and work out how not to be in that class. Keep posting, it ruins their psyche :)

I have no idea. Anyone can lift, no qualification requirements this year.

Yeah, it has been that way with gpc nz until this year.

[Realtalk]

Last week of volume block next week then have decided to finish it off by doing the upanz comp in Auckland next Saturday. Gonna be a big week next week and gonna give it my all. Comp won't be going too big just use it as a warm up into nats but I can't wait to get back on the platform!

tom is cutting to be in my weight class with my special diet plan

 

also i think it's just a novice comp, hence no qualifiers/slack rules / attempts at records. aint that right?

You are right the comp this Saturday is a novice comp. you are right that there are no records and it will be a relaxed comp. Dunno about slack rules but I know the guys up there are really wanting to grow the sport and encourage people into it so if the judging isn't perfect or is a bit relaxed and the comp is used as a learning experience for people who are new to it, like yourself. then I'm ok with that. At nationals I expect it to be of a high standard.

 

Anyway we were talking about the Nationals. That is what PETN is talking about when he asked about weight class and the competition. I'll be u110 this weekend but weight irrelevant cause it a novice comp and I'm just using it as a training session/warm up to nats. Gonna triple my last deadlift so yeah it's not a world championship. We will all have lots of fun. I been told there about 15 lifters competing and people coming up from as far as Wellington for it. Will be a good supportive comp.

[FellowshipOfTheRon]

sounds really awesome tbh! by slack i didnt really mean dodgy judging or anything, just told when i asked about the rules that as a beginner dont worry about memorizing the rulebook, showup healthy and strong, bring belt/wraps/straps if you need it and lift to best of your ability.

11/7

 

squats

180x2x3, 210x3x3, 180x2x3

 

leg extension 

4x12

 

one more session tmw or Wednesday then rest till comp Saturday.

 

plan will be -

 

squat

265/285/more or pass

 

Bench

175/185/190

 

deadlift

280/300/310x3 

 

Expecting it to be reasonably comfortable. The final deadlift attempt is an amrap but will be happy with 3. A double will suffice though. This comp is a training session so hopefully the guys running the comp are sweet with me doing that. If not no worries I can respect that. So this will conclude the volume blocks for this prep. Following the comp will be a speed deload week and then it's into peaking for nationals and going for the total im capable of and should have got last year in America.

Going to rep on the platform ? Lol wot 

[Realtalk]

Yeah well I havnt pulled a big deadlift this block and would have done it in tomorrow's training session was the plan but obviously won't doing this comp 2 days later.

 

[Wookie]

My idea.

Obviously not a secret anymore. Lol

[Realtalk]

Just do single now lift to comp rules. Will do another time in the cycle before August. No drama

[Realtalk]
