    Good session focusing on my weak points. The first 2 sets at 155kg were horrible as i was focusing on not been upright without having locked out the bar once i got into it they were handy.Also hitting the abs alot more as i feel there limiting me in my squat.

    well me and 140kg just dont get on when it comes to the bench...135 was mega easy...140 got about an inch of the 2 boards and that was it..Squats were find..pulldown abs felt mega easy gonna increase the poundage next time..pretty pissed with the bench to be honest...

    Good session feel my deadlift technique is getting way better with regards to lock out im leaning back alot more and the weight is locking out alot easier. The rominians...i need stronger hamstrings. Had to do the pull down abbs quickly and head off as i got a call from work the joys of it!! UL's gone fair busy lately and the platforms are in a mess..its begining to annoy me having to clean the platform before i train.

    Over xmas I took a trip to Limerick (revisiting the old alma mater :pac:) and was impressed with the equipment in the main gym.

    When I was a student training there around 2002 ish there wasn't any squat rack or half the oly bars and weights / platform stuff.

    Do you train in the main gym or the one upstairs? That looked well equipped too.

    Train in the main gym. yip we are fairly well equipped there now. but as i said as of late some of the regualy gym users who wouldnt be into lifting are not looking after the equipment or cleaning the platforms after them. Ive noticed anyone seriously into there training not just lifting but running etc always look after the equipment. Next time your down drop us a pm if your heading in training.

    anyways

    no ju-jitsu tonight im going to be in work for another few hours so wont make training :(

    Thoughts

    Last reps on the deadlifts tonight was though but hey thats the idea. my 1rm from the jerk blocks is 180kg and by the looks of things i should be on the break that in a few weeks its always been my weak point id like to hit 190 which would mean id give 200 a good shot from the floor. +10kg on the romanians and + 1 set on the pull down abs..happy days..

    Callipers arrived today going to figure out how to use them now!
    also ordered some knee wraps today so going to do a few weeks in them soon as well. next week is my last week of this cycle so maybe after that

    just looked back through my log there..after the last 4 weeks of volume i worked to 5rm pb's i think im going to work to 3rm pm's on the sqaut id like 160-165 for 3 after hitting 150x5 last cycle


    oh im about 23% bf....everybody...ohhhhhhh you fat bas**rd :)

    ok i had to sit down and completely re do my training schedule for the next 2 months starting first week in febuary( after the current cycle) heavy deadlifting on a wednesday jujitsu on a thursday and heavy squatting on a friday just wasnt working i was just not recovering quick enough...i didnt make jujitsu tonight because i know i wouldnt have hit my target weight tommorow night and the lifting comes first... come febuary thought the new layout should enable me to do both more efficently :)

    Right my usual spotter wasnt there tonight and all the students were back and the gym was mobbed!! the spotter i had for the 137.5 touched the bar...now he says he didnt assist me but im still not counting it because he touched the bar. weird session tonight giving the squats a break for a week hence thre leg press think 260x6 is a pb...there more there anyways...

    update on single lifts...im on call that weekend...send a mail around today to see if anyone will swap..its unlikely with it being val day and people having lives and loved ones...so i may not make single lifts now :(
