JTurner's Eat, Lift, Eat Log

[mab54]

Don't worry about the miss to much, just listen to them and you will get it soon. Great work as always J!

[Kuytrider]

Fine advice from LtL and Fazc and Fazc's brother makes me feel weak

Anyways, outstanding work regardless of the miss. When you do nail 125 it will probably be a lot easier than you think. That's the way it works sometimes.

For example part of what has gotten my brother a 135kg slingshot press finally after so many years, is doing overloaded work alongside his rep work. So for my money a decent combination of 1) The actual lift 2) Higher rep work on the lift and finally 3) Overload work with partials will see you right.

I'm starting to get an idea, hopefully this week will make it clearer and then a lot of thought as to where to go from there. I'll almost be home for summer by then so I'll have my 24/7 garage gym to take advantage of.

Yup, 20kg lighter and kicking my ass too ha. Cheers Kuyt, hopefully so .


No squats today, I squatted Thursday anyway and I need to work my ass off right now. Having had a quick look over my bench vids, the meet was by far my best; controlled and tight, need to recreate that.

Bench was tough today but got better as it went along, watching the video's back it's because my setup was gradually better. 125 was the best rep of the day, lots of notes taken about the setup, need to recreate that every time.

Struggling to sleep at the minute and avoiding the internet as much as possible for the next 2 weeks so I'll probably just be logging and signing out ; I will be back.
