LtL's Training Log

Nice benching LtL, good work for being out of your shirt for a long period of time. I'm usually all messed up when I don't get into it for a while.

Absolutely FANTASTIC Al, very happy for you!

That last 182 looked real smooth, and more confident.

It's been 2.5months out of the shirt and I am now 6kgs (13lbs) lighter. Shirt was looser but this made touching a breeze.

Touching looked easy. Relieved to be honest. Now you can focus on the only thing that matters - heavy ass weight, and beefing up that lockout.

Thanks man. I was finding my feet but the last rep on the video felt much smoother. Just need to keep pushing back.

Thank you buddy. Couldn't have hoped for a better return to the shirt.

Thanks. The second rep Hazzard cued me really well and I pushed back more which led to a smoother press and lockout. Need to get stronger at the top end so I can lockout hard and provide a definite stop for the judges.

2 things stick out to me.

1: Work on raising your belly just before touch. This will cut the ROM enough that its similar to a 1board. Just takes time working on it.

2: Let the bar drift back to your face just a little more about 3/4 of the way up. It will make the lockout that much easier.

Touching looked to be no real issue. Looked like you were slow off the chest in the shirt, im sure that is just time off from it though. Overall you have to feel happy with the progress.

[LtL]

Great feedback thanks JB. I noticed point 2 but not pushing my belly up. Need to work on it. Thanks.

No PR is safe the way you progress Big Al.

Very wide grip there. Does it have to be wide when shirted?
