Friday's training:

Deadlift 3 x 10,10,10 90kg/92.5kg

Shoulder press 3 x 8,8,6/8,7,6 47.5kg

Still on Bi Curls 3 x 40 10,8,6 machine sets, i did a couple of heavier negetive reps as well to finish off.

Moved up again on the deadlift but my grip was really struggling, nearly dropped the bar a couple of times, i still feel that i can lift more just my grip is getting to the max. I don't know if i will move up next week or hold on the 92.5kg for now. Did a bit of grip work with my bi's. Dropped a couple of reps on my shoulder press but not too bothered.

I struggled with grip as soon as i hit 100kg.

Today's Training:

Squats 3 x 8,7,6/10,8,7 82.5kg

Bench press 3 x 5,5,5,5,5 77.5kg

Dips 10,10,10

Calf 1 x 90 1x 95 1 x 100

I have been thinking recently that the bar isn't bar far enough on my traps so i moved the bar back and found the squat slightly easier as the bar is now more central. So happy with getting a couple more reps. I did all five sets with 77.5kg which is better than last time but i have to admit that i the bar wasn't touching the chest i was only going down to about an inch off the chest.

Have you tried using straps to help your grip with deadlifting? I have to use them because my grip's a load of rubbish and they've really helped me a lot.

I may have too but i was trying to avoid it, i don't mind slowing my progress to avoid straps but if i have to i will.

Reference moving the bar back on my shoulders/traps i now feel that the bar in more in the centre when i squat ie:

Fozys, I bought some straps several months ago as my grip was constantly giving out on deads, and was using them to pull over 100kg. I was still using them at 120. Fast forward to now, and I've hardly used them in weeks - months - and I'm pulling 140! Work that one out...

Interesting. The straps issue is in my mind at the moment.

fozyspilgrims · 02-08-2008, 10:29 PM

I trained on friday but as soon as i put weight on the bar for my squating i knew i wasn't going to lift much. So i just relaxed abit and did some light work, was a nice change to be honest. I can't hit the gym hard back to back days especially when it heavy deads and shoulder press followed the next day by squats and bench. Looking forward to Monday.

MartialArtMan · 02-08-2008, 11:32 PM

Forgive me if you've written it somewhere already, but to save me wading through 18 pages are you not training Mon, Wed & Fri anymore then? Would you mind just listing your schedule here please mate?

Oh and do yo ever take a complete break from training?

grobson · 02-08-2008, 11:41 PM

Straps help me with the last few reps on a set of deadlifts, I feel my grip going before the last 2 reps when at my max weight and as such use them for my heavy lifts.

I am training Monday, Wednesday and Friday but sometimes due to work (i train during working hours) i have to change it around and do the odd back to back session.

I think i took a week off when i was ill but no i don't plan any breaks, but i have 2 weeks off after next week and i am planning on taking a week off.

MartialArtMan · 03-08-2008, 12:27 PM

Thanks Fozy, thats a pretty abbreviated routine, not completely dissimilar to mine really, but my training isn't as regular as yours.
