Thought i-d pass by seeing that last time was just regarding my messed up achilles tendon.
It-s been two weeks now and I had my first leg session last night. It-s feeling pretty tight so the physio makes me stretch it a lot but the good thing is it really makes you lean back on your heels during the squat (ha)
went pretty heavy (for me) which was fun (390) and felt fine.
I-ve just signed up for (my first) a national comp here in scotland, junior division. I need to add a few pounds to my squat and bench but hopefully by then (nov) ill be contending for first place. I know that-s ambitious for a first timer but heck, if you dont have high goals well, you-ve got nothing to reach for. This being said, im going more for the experience than anything else. It-s RAW.

I am trying to fix my squat. I used to think that my hip came up early and I was GMing the weight up. This isn’t really the issue. I squat fine 3/4 of way down and then I lean forward as continue into the hole sort of losing my arch in lower part of my back. On the way up my hips don’t rise early, but as I come out of the hole I am still leaning forward. In other words, I don’t correct what I did on the way down. I end up acceding leaning father forward than I was on the way down.
do you have any side shot vids where you are committing the alleged infraction? That might help.[/quote]
Well, I’m back from the hottest place on earth…Alabama. It was so fucking hot there that I had constant swamp ass. As if that wasn’t bad enough. My mother talked me into shingling her garage. Phill and Modi can relate to the pain in the ass that it is.

Damn impressive lifting.
You know, that reminds me of walking home from the gym and the sweaty legs start rubbing themselves raw. Always takes me an extra ten min to get home because of the slower pace.
Well hell thats great news bro you had said you blew the tendon Im taking it you just strained it or some such thing
Best of luck at the meet kick some ass and have a blast

Not much here small PR, logs creeping up 5 lbs at a time, kalle kicked some ass in his meet and got his ass kicked puked for 15 minutes NICE!!!Modi is the usual whore. Matt is getting shredded as hell and holding his strength pretty damn good. um hell ??

Alright guys, I’m heading out for a weeks vacation. I’ll be back in a week, just in time to go watch the strongman event that I decided not to do.
Everyone break some PR’s, stay strong and healthy.[/quote]
Have fun Modi, there is a couple more strongman comps in the upcoming months in Mass
A2)Weighted Pullup
BW x 5
BW + 25 x 5 x 3
BW x 8
BW + 25 x 5, 4
B)EZ-Bar Jettison Curls, one continuous drop set
60 + blue aerobics band x 10
60 x 10
band x 10
C)Dips x 35
NOTES: My shoulders are definitely feeling a little beat up today from the benching. I’m still trying to consistently hit a good bar path and the moderately heavy weight helps with that, plus with enough sets I can get enough volume in to build/maintain muscle.
When I hit that path, everything feels smooth and easy, but when I stray far from it even 255 gets a little cumbersome.
A)ME 12" Box Squat
Bar x some, slow
135 x 5
185 x 2, faster
225 x 2 full speed
275 x 2
315 x 2
365 x 1
385 x 1
405 x 1
420 x 1 x 3 PR!!!
Squatting, as always lately, felt solid and smooth. 420 is a 5 lb. PR and I managed 3 singles with it. I was happy with that and decided against a 5th lift over 90%. I just didn’t feel it was necessary.
B)Power Squat (H.S. V-Squat facing backwards)
234 x 3
584 x 8 x 3
I can’t load any more weight on this machine and I don’t have the mental fortitude to pause at the bottom or go for higher reps yet, so I’m settling with moving the weight faster and resting less between sets. The third set of these was really a test of mental toughness for me.

I managed to get viral gastroenteritis last week and I am just now getting over it. I did set a PR for most times on the toilet per hour (possibly even guiness world record) and all the straining did work the abs and posterior chain hard.
Hopefully I can actually lift a weight tomorrow or Monday. Just worried how much strength I shit away (literally) over the past week.

Boy my conditioning is Shot. This may not look like much but it was just over an hours after dragging all the stuff out set up etc etc. and It kicked my tail. Need to keep this type of stuff for one day a week for sure
Box Jumps
20�??,
27�??
32�?? easy for 4-5 sets of 4-5
Happy with these hadn�??t done them since I busted my tail bone doing them even with the added BW think im good for an easy 3 foot still or more with some practice
Medley 240 feet total
Tire 400lb 60 feet
Suit case carry (60 feet each arm) 130lbs
200lb keg shoulder and carry 60 feet,
Log Clean and press (clean each rep) 180 x 2, then brought it down 140 x 2
Time = 1 min 57 seconds
1 min 36 seconds
1 min 39 seconds
Was going to harness up now and drag my truck but I was just cooked each set was less then 2 mins and not really that heavy but man its about friggin cooked my goose need to keep doing this
Writes up clean and the weights seem low, but this routine is tougher than it looks. Hopefully the body will adapt to the volume as it increases set by set over the month.

I feel your strain…I mean pain. I lost so much water weight sweating my ass off that it took me 4 days to get it back.
I had a good session today but I could didn’t have any endurance.
I’m sure you will be back whoring it up with the rest in no time.
we still need to hook up for a training session.

I know what you mean. My wife likes to go for “walks”. Now my idea of a walk is to the mailbox and back. She wants to walk around the neighborhood at a racing pace. after the first 10 feet my lower back is tight and the thighs are pumped and the rub starts at the knees all the way up to the daddy parts.
Oh shit in the damn heat. well you know it will seal well I hope you werent the tear off guy as well thats the shit I hate

Glad you had a blast LOL
yeah, i had a great time. almost as fun as a trip to the dentist.
