Re: Houzi Training Log
What about just holding it? With 24 kilos simply holding it locked out with bottom up would need significant stability. I have no doubt you're strong enough to do that.

Close Grip Bench Press:

115kg x5

Overhead Press:
52.5kg x10

52.5kg x10
52.5kg x12
Pull Ups:

Had an absolute death grind for that 8th rep. Butt came up, and it was everything I could do to get the bar re-racked. Perhaps it was 7.75 reps? Was pretty smoked after that.
It is interesting that my close grip (half a thumbs length from centre smooth) is almost exactly 10kg weaker than my normal wide grip (index finger on rings). Need to hammer away at my triceps....
Edit: Turns out this was a new 7RM and 8RM on CGBP. So definitely a PR.

Managed a new deadlift 10RM! This estimates my top end at around 270kg, which is farrrr beyond anything Ive ever hit. I was really unsure how today was going to go, since Ive had a weird stomach the past few days. The set of 10 itself felt awful, but I got it done fairly well. Who knows... perhaps ill actually hit a new deadlift 1RM one day.

Re: 31-1-2024
Thanks man! Yeah I feel that 10 reps is a very satisfying number to achieve, that it indicates that you have total control over that weight. In theory anyway.....
Hopefully it can carryover to top end strength some time in the future.

Re: 31-1-2024
If through some magic I can actually hit 270kg (or 272.5kg for the 600lbs), i would be unbelievably happy.MarkKO wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 1:39 amNice! The numbers track, too.houzi wrote: ↑Tue Jan 30, 2024 10:21 pm Deadlift:

Re: 31-1-2024
Assuming you peak for it, there's no reason you couldn't. You're hitting rep numbers with weights that are almost exactly what I was doing when I could hit 600 lbs in peak. That's probably the only caveat, you'd need to specifically prepare for it. You *might* be able to hit it on a day you're feeling particularly good without being peaked but there's considerably less certainty.houzi wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 5:28 amIf through some magic I can actually hit 270kg (or 272.5kg for the 600lbs), i would be unbelievably happy.MarkKO wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 1:39 amNice!

Re: 31-1-2024
That is sort of the plan. Im going to do another block, with slightly lower reps, and then a third block to build up to a max.MarkKO wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 11:21 am

Re: Houzi Training Log
By the by, for the whole shoulder thing I've been doing windmills as part of my warmup and they seem to be pretty nice on the shoulders.
Probably a bit easier than bottoms up presses with a 24 kg KB.

Re: Houzi Training Log
I tried the bottoms up kettlebell presses. No chance haha. They are insanely difficult. Even just holding them in place.

KB Swings:
32kg x100 total reps in 4.39 mins
Pushed the KB Swings a bit harder today, roughly 20 reps EMOM. This might be a KB Swing PR or something. I guess next block build towards 100 reps in under 4 mins? Or perhaps try doing double arm swings? I may have to build myself a poverty-sled so I can do more of this conditioning stuff, im quite enjoying it. @Renascent did you ever get around to buying or building a sled? I think it was you who i spoke with about this?

Bench was feeling kind of ok today. Top single at around @7, then the top set of 6 was meant to be @8, but felt more like @9. That 6th felt suddenly really slow. Maybe still beat up from the death grind close grip last week?
