Talo's training and video log

Thanks men. Hopeing to add 100lbs to that total for the world's.

Walked 18 holes today in the heat . That's the cardio I like :)

Squats

335x3
360x3
380x3(2)

good mornings
3x10@205

After last weeks session I opt out of the dead and press because I was still sore. Squats last week I couldn't make my numbers ( just stiff ) .

So today I started over with squats , but moved to week two. Coming off night shift I worked out before going to bed and it felt great. ****ing strong today ! Hit 380 for 5 when last week 360 for 3 was hard ???

I've been eating and sleeping well. Tomorrow is bench so I will see if I'm recovered .

My lower back still feels like it's compressed. Hurts most days , but I just work through it with some robaxol ( this could be a stable on meet day :) )

380 for 5 puts you in the 440's if you can put it all together.
Have you thought about what you'll be shooting for in competition?

.... Don't go hurting yourself before game day.

I know I can do 450 and I'm shooting for 470 , but everything has to be perfect that day.

I'm using 420lbs right now as my 1rm which is a bit lower than my true max ( in that last comp. Got 197.5 (434)and missed 208kg(458) the results just got posted .

So if I stick with what I have written out. Should be able to start off with 440 and hopefully end with the 470+ .

I will be doing things a bit different for this meet. For one I am dropping weight class to the 100kg but that will be done on the last week.

Don't forget some video this time round :)

You bet.

Just did a few passes with my sled ( T style :) ) with an 80lb plate in the tire.

I feel like an out of shape fat ass !!

5 passes ( so far ) with the tire sled 3 front , 2 backwards.
Added 105lbs to the inside . This was done on gravel so it picked up a bit of weight along the way.

Hamstrings are still tight from yesterday.

Bench

250x3
265x3
280x3(1)

held for 2 secs at bottom ( just below nipples ) this is alot harder than the usual tounch n go and I will say this is a big reason for the two fails at the meet.

BB curls
skull crushers
banded face pulls

Felt weak today .

Today was assesory work.

Mainly bands -

Triceps ( extensions )
face pulls
good mornings
pull Sparta

sled dragging - first day in a few that the smoke outside ( from the B.C fires ) wasn't that bad. It's been to thick and hard to breath . I can only imagin what they are going through.

Took a break from my busy day and went sledding down on a lease. It's getting easier , but still hurts the lungs !

Going to try and do some squatting tonight - Speed squats if I'm tired and Max effort if I'm not.

I'm focusing on the bench and the squat. Leaving the press and deadlifting out of my training for now. Louie says you can still build a strong deadlift without deadlifting , so that's what I'm shooting for.
