Shit day, bar was stuck to the floor. Lockouts still easy though. Video again looks fairly smooth but a lot of hip movement to start.

Form was off and hip started to niggle on the top set which really put me off. Excuses over, will drop sumo's next week and rest the hip.

Playing the rest of the week by ear with deadlines and crap, only heavy upper stuff to get through anyway. Need to re-arrange my week some though and split the heavy upper and lower more evenly.

23/02/13 - Bench

Close Grip
107.5kg x 3 @7
115kg x 3 @8
122.5kg x 3 @10 PB
+wraps
122.5kg x 1 @8.5
127.5kg x 1 @9.5

Thought after 2 days rest and eating trash I'd come back strong but everything felt off and slow. Should have stuck to the baseline plan of 120 top set but pushed. I never felt fear of failing, it's as if my body would only let me push enough to scrape by.

Hit some singles to test the waters. My PB bench is a bounced 127.5kg POR so to pause it close grip on a bad day felt good.

Set-up in garage was off and the fact that the uprights swing back on the unrack makes it near impossible to keep my shoulders in tight.

Last triple PB was 105kg with POR grip, not sure when that was.

24/02/13 - Events

Log Clean & Mong Press
80 minutes of 5's, 3's, 2's, 1's with 50-85kg
Last 2 lifts were;
95kg x 1 PB
100kg x F

Farmers
60kg per arm x 40m x 2
90kg per arm x 40m x 2

Yoke Walk
210kg x 40m

After a shit pressing day Saturday I knew today would be shit. 95 was easy, 100 pissed me off.

Farmers are brutal, there is absolutely nothing fun about them. Destroyed my hips, quads and mid back and obv my calluses.

Yoke I had nothing left for, my thighs were screaming just lifting it.

Watching 400kg yoke runs, 300kg total farmers and 180kg+ log clean and press made me feel weak and small ha.

25/02/13 - Squat & Bench

Squat w/Belt
170kg x 2 @8.5
140kg x 2 @7

Incline
80kg x 4 @~7
90kg x 4 @8
95kg x 4 @9.5

Thought I'd go in and see what happened today. Not a lot was the answer, felt ok warming up but first set was way off so called it.

/end boring essay.
