 6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Those Deads were with bands though, it makes the lift about 50Kg lighter off the floor and it gets gradually heavier until I have the full weight just above my knee. I always fail on lockout, so it's to try and strengthen it a bit. I do think I could probably pull 270 at the moment, but not 280. A few more weeks on these and I'll see how I progress on them. | ||

6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Tuesday 04/09/12 Junction session Trained with Doddy and James most of the night, then Stones with Sob Log all floor to overhead 35x10 35x10 70x8 90x3 100x1 110x3 110x3 110x3 100x7 Very happy with log tonight, far better than last week. I've had a bit of trouble when I've been knackered on Log recently with the log going up and slightly backwards on the press. It causes me to lose my balance on lockout and fail the lift sometimes. Tonight I started trying to press the log out more diagonally up in front of me than strait up and it made a massive improvement. Puts it a bit more weight on the chest and feels a lot more stable, I would never have managed 100x7 without doing this. Hope it transfers to a heavier lift as well. Yoke outside. 10m runs 90x2 90x2 130x2 170x2 210x2 250x1 250x1 250x1 these 250's were all about 8 seconds 250x2 18 seconds 270x2 29 seconds, glad to finish it without any drops. As always Yoke felt hard, good session on it tonight though. Sled Drag bout 20m uphill then 20m downhill as fast as possible 40x1 80x1 120x1 160x1 Not heavy but tiring runs, quick to do as well. Tried a 300kg frame pickup with Sob and Walker, didn't shift at all. Then tried a 280kg frame pickup, it scraped the floor but it didn't lift more than a touch, pretty daft going into this after Yoke and without any warmups, but I had to have a go Stones 2x80 - 48" 2x100 - 48" 1x120 - 48" 1x120 - 54" fx120 - 60" 1x120 - 60" Felt hard this week, wanted a stab at 145 but after nearly blacking out on the last two 120's I decided to leave it until next week. Another good Junction session. | ||

Need to keep your lifts in sight Thanks! They have shot up recently, think I'll have a 140 pp before the end of the year at this rate. What you doing on strict at the moment? Guessing you're just behind me from your comment. Good luck tonight, not that you'll need it. | ||

My push press is all leg drive with maybe a little grind right on the lockout. Although my technique is still s**t it has improved a lot this over year. I have a problem of not wanting to dip enough as well, but most of the time now I manage to hit the right depth and even though it feels awkward it gives me better drive. I just need to start working on my clean now, which is totally s**t, and then jerk as well. | ||
