Re: 2008 Competition Preparation
X - I have been a whinging pom today
I have been in a funny mood all day, a bit mopy, and the weather has been funny in England, quite cold and super foggy which didn't clear.
I was feeling sorry for myself about dieting naturally, and how the numbers on the scale are NOT going down.
I almost didn't train, but I did walk my butt through the fog to the gym.
I am training heavy again this week, and I had an awesome workout, even without my training buddy, back and triceps (I will be doing this twice this week, so he doesn't really miss out on anything).
I felt really strong, did more weight or more reps on everything
I went super wide on pull ups to hammer my little chicken fillet lats, and even though I couldn't always pull myself up, I did some forced negatives.
T-bar rows have GOT to be the best thing for hammering out frustrations, as are seated rows (used Hammerstrength plate loading 35 kg/77 lb/side).
Dips with 15 kg/33 lb on the belt, skull crushers with 25-27.5 kg/55-61 lb (not sure of the weight of the E-Z curl bar - BY MYSELF.
My best lift for the day though was rack pulls, 100 kg/220 lb
The thing that I was impressed with is that I didn't use straps (they are in the wash cause I got creatine powder all over them).
With straps I could have done more. It did really hurt my callouses.
This is a massive thing for me, as in November when I started doing these, 80 kg was just tooooooooooo much to even lift off the bars.
