Done.

Other than the pressing, everything was light and easy. Faz's idea for this speed cycle was to get used to heavier weights at the bottom position. I felt myself losing tightness on the first couple of sets with 100 but cleaned it up for the last two. Also worked on tucking elbows hard and then throwing them back out on the way up. Kept a fast pace and even got a pump today. Am I a bodybuilder now???

3 weeks out today. Entry form is complete and will be sent tomorrow.

That's the idea yeah, keep that tightness near the bottom. Especially as you need to get used to being lighter.

And no, you're not a bodybuilder now

I checked the rule book and it said: no. Accidental pumps are allowed at least several times per year.

Mishaps happen. Get back on the horse next time.

Bring it home man.

FIN

Considering I wasn't going to train today and it took me forever to get going, I'm pretty pleased with how it went tonight. Last set was 235kgs at the top which is around second attempt weight so felt good to smash a comfortable double feeling this rubbish. Heaviest set also felt the best. Video to follow shortly.
