Thanks mate - I think the fatigue from Saturday played as much a part as any illness, but the illness won't have helped recovery.

nothing heavy til next Tuesday now so time to rest and recover. Hope for some more PBs next week Grin this week's been light on them

Nice work mate. Everyone seems to be ill at the moment, my office is a symphony of coughs and sneezes. So whats the plan? When will the peaking cycle begin?

Thanks mate - yeah loads of stuff seems to be going about at the moment.

I'm not running a fairly linear approach using the same basic training approach I have for the last few weeks - all going by feel with a back-off week after every 4 weeks ish. But all going to be fairly loosely planned. Can't be arsed with structured programmes that have fixed sets, weights etc.

Yeah benchings fun.

Don't enjoy any form of squat at moment to be fair. Andersons slightly better than normal. All too painful and have completely forgotten how to squat.

Might just use leg press. Eek

Well the pain factor isn't to be played down, if it hurts that's good enough feedback not to push it.

The leg press is one of the only machines I wish I had. On the free occasions I've used one I tried to kill myself with it. Or at least that's how my legs felt afterwards.

Just need to keep strength in legs for leg drive, but trying to use compound exercises for that rather than leg press etc. Legs feel hammered after an equipped bench session so thought it'd be wise to try and do some extra work for the next few weeks and taper out towards comp.

Ha ha I love how you do leg work only because it aids your bench. My legs end up more sore from bench than squats. Funny how that works.

I hate squats too! Your pressing is obscene these days mate, very impressive!
