A lot's happened the last week so I'll just tell it in order -
Thursday night done some foam rolling. Found out that the comp is cancelled due to not enough lifters.
Fri 11th February 2011
Squat
2x3x110kg
1x3x115kg
(no belt)
Bench Press
3x5x60kg (pause at bottom)
Barbell Rows
1x5x60kg
1x5x65kg
1x5x70kg
1x4x75kg
A few of us planned a mock comp for Fri 18th since comp was cancelled, so monday would be a maintenance day in the meantime. Closed Captains of Crush #1 twice (not in same set) in both hands. Right hand first time, the other reps took a lot of attempts.
Mon 14th February 2011
Squat
1x2x120kg
2x1x135kg
(with belt)
Bench press
1x5x65kg (first rep pause at bottom)
1x1x75kg (pause at bottom)
1x1x80kg (pause at bottom)
Close grip lat pulldowns
1x8x75kg
Foam rolled pre/post workout. Found out some of the guys were doing an unequipped comp Sat 26th with a different federation and so wouldn't be doing mock comp on Friday, I didn't think I'd be able to get off work with such short notice for that comp. Wasn't feeling too great about lifting myself on Friday but figured it was worth a shot.
Tuesday, got someone to swap with at work, posted my membership/entry form away for comp on the 26th. Planned to lift heavy Wed/Fri, maintenance day Monday then rest till comp. Also closed CoC #1 again with both hands.
Wed 16th February 2011
Morning weight=84.2kg
Deadlift
1x5x160kg (no belt)
Front squat
1x5x70kg
2x5x80kg
Box jumps
1x10x32.75"
1x10x34.5"
1x10x36" (3ft)
1x20x32.5"
Seated calf raises
1x10x40kg
10,10,19x52.5kg
Night weight at club was 85.2kg.
So, planned on going heavy on deads, warmed up with couple of sets of 5 @ 70kg, then a set of 5 at 120kg. Popped the belt on for next warmup at 160kg, pain as soon as I squatted down to start the rep, around upper abs area - caused by last week's single at 210kg. Felt my back round too much and the top of the belt dig into there. Took the belt off done a set of 5. Put the belt on for next set and just took 160kg again for a test. Couldn't even bring myself to start the lift, everytime I got into position and went to breathe in it just hurt. Called it a day for deadlifts and didn't do any upper body assistance.
My plan is to squat as heavy as possible WITHOUT belt on friday, bench heavy. Maintenance day Monday, rest till comp. Simply cannot risk prolonging this injury, and it took a while for my ribs to heal when the belt screwed them when that happened before, about the time I have from now to the comp.
Trying not to get paranoid, that's a week of no heavy lifting. Need to stay positive till comp.
So summary;
-No belt till comp till injury heals.
-GBPF comp on Sun 20th cancelled
-Now lifting BDFPA Unequipped comp Sat 26th
