Wednesday in the Warm, Warm Shed

Brutal heat coming out of the stove last night. Warmer when we started than when the guys finished on Sunday. I wasn't feeling so great Sunday, so I didn't train, but I think last night was definately a good make-up session. Granville was sick, so it was just me, Steve and Tom. Fast pace for three people.

Squats are feeling excellent. Best they've felt in quite some time actually. Not only have my RAW numbers increased, but my wrapped sets are stronger, and I'm not losing my form like I always have in the past. I'm hoping once I get some weight gone this won't change.Benches are slowly creeping along even though they've felt a little heavy lately, and deads just need a hell of a lot more work on my part. *Note to self*

Starting this week, I'll be working every second Sunday and won't be able to train. Therefore, every second Sunday, the plan is to go much heavier in the squat. Stay tuned.

Wednesday, January 18th

Wednesdays are gonna be brutal for the next couple of months. Started a workterm, and I end up getting to the house for between 5:30 and 5:40, and we train at 6. So tired by the end of the night.

Last night went decent. Squats were great, but not so happy with the other two. Well, bench. First time I've really done any work with deads for over a month.

Sunday Training

Few days late, but I guess now is as good a time as any to post. Havn't posted in quite some time, as training was basically non-existant over the last month or so. Between exams, christmas holidays, and moving, training kept getting pushed back for me. BUT, after a long break, things are finally back into a normal routine.

First couple of sessions back didn't go so well, but Sunday's training left me feeling great. We had a guest lifter with us as well. Robyn was down from Saskatchewan and joined in with us for a session before she went home. First time really back in wraps for over a month, and first time deadlifting (although none of it really counts for much) in longer than that.

Numbers in (kg)  were as follows:

Squat
First two sets paused
50 x 5
65 x 5
80 x 5
90 x 3 (LB)
100 x 3 (Belt)
110 x 3 (Wraps)
122.5 x 3
137.5 x 3 (PR Triple, although all three were high)
Dropback of 80 for 5

Bench
50 x 5
60 x 5
65 x 5
70 x 4
75 x 3
80 x 2
85 x 1 (Missed)
90 x 3 (1.5 Board)
60 x 6

Deads
40 x 5
50 x 10
50 x 10

Deads will start, for real, on wednesday. Start a new job tonight which is going to require me to miss every second Sunday, so I'll have to find a way to make up for it somehow.
