Training 10/05/13

Posterior chain, abs

No squats tonight just to rest up a bit for Bodypower next week.

45 degree hyperextensions 20kg plate 4x20

Ab rollouts 4x20

GHRs 4x10

Reverse hypers x10
35kg 2x10
10kg +41" mini band 2x10

Sled pulls walking backwards 60kg 6x1

This takes my total reps for GHRs and reverse hypers this week to 176. Happy with this and the GHRs are only getting easier. The whole of the above was done in under 1h 15min. I'm going to train tomorrow to get my last bench workout out of the way good and early.

I noticed on the sled drags my quads were the limiting factor. Glutes, hips and lower back felt fine despite all the work they had done beforehand. I can only think that all that work over the last few weeks has actually really increased their work capacity to the point sled pulls are less of an issue for them.

At the moment I kinda don't know where I stand in terms of the numbers I may put up next week. I've barely thought about Bodypower to be honest; which may be a good thing. I've never competed in two competitions so close together. I've a few aches and pains and I'm really not convinced about my lower back but if I hit one PB next week I will be happy.

In other news, it's looking like I'm gonna be able to really take training to the next level after Bodypower. I am desperate to get this squat sorted out. Once I get on top of it I should be in for PB total. A bit of a tangent there but anyways.

Thanks for reading
