135 x 4
Deadlift up to knee with pause.
220 x 3
250 x 2 x 4
Deadlift from blocks (1")
280 x 2 x 4
Deadlift strength felt solid today. Grip absolutely loyal on the 280 doubles after my (admittedly chalkless) scare on 260 last week. Not worried about having at least 300 in the tank come December, so even if I dont PR or get 700, I won’t embarrass myself at least.
Week 8 Day 3
Didnt happen. Came down with something viral last weekend and spent the weekend in bed aching to the bone.
Luckily there was a lot of great rugby on to keep me company. More to come this weekend.
Week 9 Day 1
Bench press
120 x 4
130 x 3
145 x 2 x 4
135 x 2 x 3
High Bar Squat
150 x 3
170 x 2 x 4
Low bar squat with loose wraps
170 x 10
Strict Curl
50kg x 8 x 2
Well second experiment with wraps felt better than last time. Still a loose wrapping but definitely feel the pop out of the hole. 10 reps at 70% has never felt easier. Might just stick with doing high bar and doing a bonus set at the end of the session with whatever my top weight is.
Great rugby coming. Not sure it will be a great result though unfortunately.
That depends on who you support though doesn’t it ha. I may live in England but im a saffa through and through.
That said I can see both games going either way.

Looks like you’re going to have a fun day next weekend, then!
Whew! That was a lot closer than I was hoping for. Not holding out any hope for a win against England, not if yesterday’s side turns up again.

So day 3 was missed again. Not sure whether the fact I keep getting I’ll after deadlifts is just coincidence or a sign that they are taxing me.a little

How are your elbows doing? If you still have some pain, where would you say that it hurts? I posted these images in another persons log,
Theyre Ok for now since im doing virtually no low bar squats. They were never sore on bench, or any other exercise for that matter, just low bar squats.
The lcoation is the basically the Medial Epicondylosis picture, the symptoms don’t match though, wrist flexion and extension didn’t cause any discomfort so pretty hard to get an idea of what’s going on. Any ideas?

No, but I’ll be posting whatever seems relevant from the text that I have here later: Golfer's Elbow Help? - #8 by Voxel I can @ you if you’d like?
Yes please. From a brief look at it golf elbow fits best of the elbow issues Ive looked into.

Deadlift from 1" blocks
250 x 3
285 x 3
300 x 1 x 3
300 felt good, grip was solid, lockout was pretty easy, pretty sure I’ll have 300 off the floor just fine, especially with a deadlift bar.
5 weeks until testing, will 317.5 be there? Will I even get 310 for a PB? Guess I’ll have to wait and see.
If I don’t get 700lbs at the meet I guess I’ll have to binge eat over Christmas and try in the gym without worrying about weigh in.
When is the next meet?
Enjoy tomorrow, but hopefully not too much! I’m already bricking it.
I’ll believe that when I see it.
Just wanted today I admire your approach in the other thread, you’re doing good work there.
And good luck tomorrow.
Thanks man, appreciate it. It’s not often you see your experiences being particularly useful to someone else so when they are gotta make the best of it.
I average over a stone gained over a 2 week Christmas break for the last decade or so 
so there’s definitely data to back that up.
