@Paekakboyz yeah was a mission played 18 holes Thursday morning too was struggling to tee my ball up or out of the hole.
Did our second chest session for the week after that. Was a light session. Found out this week and last were just warm ups for the 16 week block we are heading into. As it ends with a comp at our club for those that want to enter.
Im not entering a comp until I am at 100kg BW with 150kg bench, 200kg+squat and 250kg Deadlift. Who knows when that will be.Yesterdays session:
DB bench: 5x5 @40kg
Seal Pulls: 4x8 @30kg should go up next time
Upright rows: 1x7 @50kg then had no energy 3x7 @40kg
Max close grip Pressups.: I was fucked by this stage just did 3x10 nice and controlled and supersetting upright rows and the next couple exercises.
Flappy angles: 3x10 @2kg
Curls: 3x10 @17.5kg usually do 20kg+.Think im gonna leave deads until tomorrow as still pretty sore this morning.
@Magpie_in_aus I am not surprised the golfing was hard!
Good call to hold off on deads - got to listen to the body when you are that fried, plus there is a bunch of accessory stuff you could still do to keep things ticking over. I'm a big fan of following up with some lighter stuff on the same body parts later in the week, to get things moving and take the edge off any DOMs.
Have you considered just entering to get used to lifting in comp conditions? Have read quite a bit about people either thriving in it (still unexpectedly) while others took a few comps to do their best in that kind of environment. I totally get wanting to have some solid numbers but maybe just getting stuck in is an option?

@Duluth
Its what the coach at the gym calls them but basically lying on your front on the ground doing full snow angels.Lying on stomach. Hold weight in each hand out at full reach lift arm off the ground and take up towards your head. Up and down is one rep do 20. It sucks

Would be bloody good for those little stabilising muscles though I bet.

@Magpie_in_aus ah, that's a version of the Y and T raises we do with dumbbells, except we do them on a chest down 45 degree angle on a bench, or similar angle with bent knees. Fantastic primers for bench and any type of overhead stuff.

Did deadlifts on Saturday. Didnt want to follow the program as I was really tight in my mid back and the paused deadlifts tended to set it off.
Jumped in with one of the guys from the gym who is doing his own thing.
Was meant to be
2x5 paused @150 and 2 or 3x10 @140Instead I did sets of 5 @60 , 100, 130,140,145,150,155x2
Back felt good after. Went to b ball tonight and it seized and we only had five haha

@Magpie_in_aus aw man! reverse bear crawls bro - the most magic release for a tight or seizing lower back. At least in my experience.
Is it happening due to over-training or an injury or something? I used to assume my core strength was a weak point (lol and/or my form!) so it meant my lower back did more mahi.
BBall after deads!!? - you madman you!
-
Na its just happening due to training.
Im in a predicament. So I play Ball in a competition on Wednesday night and Sunday afternoon/night. Thing is with this powerlifting program I have to have enough time between squats and deadlifts.
Meaning I either do squats Tuesday or Wednesday and Ball Wednesday night. Usually feel my legs the next day after squats the wrost.
Deadlifts usually Friday sometimes Saturday. Usually feel my back/legs 36-48 hours after deadlifts. I could do deadlifts on Thursday but doing them Friday means I a bit more over the squats.Ive had to cut out pick up ball on a Saturday to manage load. The funny thing is when we had a full no training deload week before testing and the week of testing (as its stuff all total volume) my pace on the court increased by lots.
-
Other thing to factor in was outside of going to the gym on Saturday morning I say a lot doing work. Usually play 18 holes Sunday morning too but needed a sleep in. That usually warms the back up as well. Might have to take note how the back is when I do/dont get 18 in the morning.
