After some nagging from an unamed member, I decided I'd start up a log, that and I always seem to mangle my training books.
Right now I am recovering from a rotated pelvis, pinched nerve, sore adductor, and who knows what else, so the training volume is definatly down, just trying to get my CNS up to snuff for Worlds in 2 weeks time.
Yesterdays training lots of foam rolling of the injured area, some light dynamic stretching
Squat (in kg) 70x5 100x5 120x3 160x3 suit on (titan super+) 210x1 - straps down 240x1 - straps up no depth 260x1 - planned opener, depth 272.5x1 - planned second, depth
Bench (my arch is minimal right now due to the hip issue) 70x5 100x5 110x3 125x3 - 3 board 135x1 - 3 board 145x1 - shirt on, 2 board 155x1 - 1 board 165x1 - chest, helicoptered on my coming off the chest Thats it for the Katana, I have had very slim success in it, back to the F6
Deadlift 120x3 175x3 225x1 255x0 I was using straps instead of mixed grip due to the torque on my right side..lined the straps up unevenly as I really have no experience with them, dropped it 255x1 - suit on 275x0 - easy pull, hips/glutes just not firing, have to figure this out
It seems like my glutes aren't firing at all, I'm ripping the weight up right to where I'd fire my hips through and throw my shoulders back, but all thats happening is I'm getting hung up leaning out over the weight. Any suggestions?
trying to decide what a good opener is..I was thinking 280 would be perfect, but with the unpredictability of my deadlift lately, I'm thinking of going 260 or 265 then a big jump on my second.
Deadlift 120(264)x3 175(385)x3 225(495)x1 suit on 275(605)x0 easy, but lockout issue again...seems to be something with the titan suit, as I didn't have the problem in the metal suit
Pull ups 50 total reps, 3 sets Abs bw+50lbs bar, 50 total reps, 4 sets
If locking out your pull is a problem, make sure your starting position is good -- back straight, chest up. If your start is good, your lockout should be much easier.
I used to have that problem my hips would rise first, but my start position/form in general has gotten a lot better. I spoke with my chiro again this morning, and he says it sounds like my glute on the right side isn't firing or firing much, as thats the side that was injured, he said the muscles surrounding the area tend to take over to protect/compensate. He reccommended a few bouts of deep tissue massage before I head out, hopefully that fixes things up
