Did this workout in the morning because I have a massage and Dr. Ryan later today.  Felt kinda sluggish and slow to start, but it got better as the workout progressed.  Put my legs down on the 2 board because the 215 wasn’t as fast as I want things right now.  All in all good workout though.  Did it at the uni with no chalk either.. my hands are feeling it now!

Pretty good squats today – with 222.5, I loosened up/relaxed/stopped a bit in the bottom, so wasn’t great speed, but still alright none the less.  That’s it now for geared squats or deads.  One more heavy bench then it’s all on the platform!

Good Mornings: 3×10 135lbs

I’ve been cutting out my “warm up” lately, just because I won’t be doing it come meet day, so want to be used to sometimes doing without it.  Also been cutting back on the volume just to avoid overtraining right now.  The strength is there, just need to stay healthy.  Shoulders have been feeling a bit tighter than normal lately..I have a massage tomorrow, so we’ll see if she can fix that a bit.

Shirted Bench Week 10

36 Super Katana (red):
125kgx1 (1 board)
132.5kgx1
137.5kgx1
RC: 5lb external rotation 5×15

The 137.5 was fairly easy.  I need to remember to try to keep my chest from collapsing when the bar is coming down.  Things are feeling good!

Suited Deadlifts Week 10

15 minutes bike

Sumo Deadlifts – 38 Super NXG+ Centurion (black, old squat one)
150kgx1 straps down, belt
170kgx2 full gear
180kgx2 full gear

Front Squats: 3×10 75kg, 77.5kg, 80kg
LPR w/black band: 3×15

Still trying to work on my form with deadlifts. It’s better, but still not what I want.  I don’t sit into the first rep enough, which makes it harder, but then the second rep is a breeze because I’m in better position.  Looks like it’ll be a 180kg opener.
