Squats feeling good today, have changed my grip to a narrower one and angle of arms which has helped le squat. I think this will be of benefit for stability especially when I get back up to having 100kg plus on my back. R leg felt ok after squatting. I'm getting itchy feet now I just want to get into the programme and see where it takes me :)

Watched PL tv over the weekend with vids of some women under 48kg weight class lifting sick weights...saw one girl squat 167.5kg and she popped it up like it was nothing :shock: . Admittedly she was in gear and I'd say tight gear at that but you gotta have the raw strength base to start.... ohh to be that strong :pray:

Can't wait to get started into my training proper now..but ....question ...if lifting sumo in sheiko.. deads to knees would be done with sumo stance right but what about deads from knees (rack pulls)? sumo or conventional..just throwing it out there cos I'm not sure?

Oh and always happy to share Steaks p/powder :pfft: :pfft:. Was good to catch up...deads are looking sharp :nod: but then you always have been a freak with the deadlift :grin:

Would you like a violin to go with that Big J :grin:

Churr PNW. It felt comfortable and I'm thinking there may be some more in tank after a serious training cycle with sumo thrown in.

Whoaaa.. How do you look pretty while doing deads? My lifts are ugly as hell Image

aslong as it gets up there who cares it its pretty or ugly? :twisted:

Agreed it's all about completing the lift. Though some pink shoes would have been a nice accessory :wink:

Thanks for the advices team - vid and thread - all good.

Well done with the new PB :nod:

Cheers OH. I pull 135 conventional so I'm hoping I will be able to pull the same or more sumo :pray: with a bit of training. And I suppose I am taking a slight risk by changing styles 8 weeks out from nationals :huh:

Yesterday I began Day 1 Week 1 of Sheiko 37 High Volume... all I can say is that the next 8 weeks are going to be a hard slog but from pain comes glory right.

Wt: 56.9kg

My plan is to stay around 56.5kg throughout training over 8 wks. So just need to tidy up carbs really as my diet is pretty clean eating mainly chicken and fish. Last training cycle I dropped about 1kg in the last couple of weeks before comp and I don't think that was beneficial.

So this is what Boris served up to me last night..............

Bench:

1x5x25kg

1x4x30

1x3x35

shirt on

1x3x50 didn't get it down for a touch weight too light

1x2x60

1x2x60

1x3x60

1x3x60

1x3x60

Took me a while to get back in the groove of the shirt as I hot washed it and it's a little bit tighter on me. I'm sporting some lovely welts today :shock:

Squat:

1x5x37.5kg

1x5x45

suit on

1x5x70

1x5x80

1x5x80

1x5x80

1x5x80

1x5x80

suit was hot washed a little bit tighter so now I have a twin set of welts :pfft:

Bench press:

1x5x27.5kg

1x4x32.5

1x4x32.5

1x4x35

1x4x35

1x4x35

1x4x35

1x4x35

Flat DB flyes:

5x10xlight

Good mornings

5x5 light

RBPD x 150

Looking forward to doing Agile 8 and mobility exercises tonight.

I have been continuing to rehab the leg, seeing my massage therapist every two weeks now and will see how it goes, the budget won't allow weekly visits :shifty: especially as it is not covered by ACC.

Focus more on dynamic stretches prior to training than static as I think this will have more benefit for me, just have to allow an extra 20mins or so in a training session for this.

:wave:
