weekly round up

squats - Have been real good, even on test day nice and deep wouldve left no doubt for the judges. But todays squats were abit tough found it hard going gettin down to depth, knees still abit tired from wednesday test id guess :?

Bench - Not much to report here. handling the workload so far, be nice to hit a PB come comp. ill be happy with a 2.5kg increase TBH

Dead - deads are what they should be for me around this time, abit of a grind. i think i just need more speed off the floor, as Benedickts coach would say "speed is the king...yip yip!" :twisted:

[morattigirl]

Hour and half aye, getter faster huh :nod: and weighted crunches what were you saying.... they were too easy? More weight more weight, feel the burn :grin:

Bench- Had some pain in my left elbow on the lighter sets when i would try and tuck the bar in closer, but when i got to the working top sets it seemed to go away? :-s. Just slapped some deep heat on it now, hopefuly its nothing major. suggestions for some prehab elbow exes?

Deads- Lucky dip with the selection of bars again today :evil: . It was either the epicly bent oly bar or the bent bar, went with the bent bar i dunno why i think it was just as bad as the epic bent bar lol. cuz once again i found right hand side was rolling like heck :doh: and my hand wasnt havin a bar of it so decided to air on the side of caution and drop from 3 reps @ 205 to 2 and use the straps to save some face. Boris mate, you just have to accept, ill give you an extra set of squats on sat :pray:

[bar-belle]

You know the drill Big J....red band pressdowns x 150

Dude that's so bad...you need to change gyms bro or politely tell them to step up their game with their maintainance of equipment :naughty:

There is no cutting/bulking season. It's a perpetual bulk. And we don't call it a bulk. It will be refered to as "getting jacked" or "getting fat"
