Re: Kite's training journal

Well, I use briefs when doing speed work but it still went up much faster than I had expected.

1.2.07 shirt benchin
Tonight sucked ass big time!!!!!!
I warmed up to 275x3 + 40# chain raw, then put on my shirt.
2 Board BP 275x3, 315x3, 365x3, 405x3, 455x3, this is where it gets ugly, I was planning on 495x3 plus chain. I've had this number in my head since last week. So, the bar is loaded with 495, I get the hand off, and press the first rep pretty easily, I'm thinkin wow I'm gonna end up with around 525-545 for a triple, bring the bar back down and DAMN! My right wrist twitched backwards for some fukked up reason and it literally felt like my wrist had been smashed with fukkin hammer! Well, I decided that I was done with the shirt work and figured some lighter raw work will be ok, so I start some raw 4 board presses, 225x5 easy, 275x5 easy, 315 and the pain was back full force. So now I'm pretty pissed and icing the ***** down. I don't think I messed it up bad cause I still have full range of motion and only a little bit of swelling but **** this pisses me off! Oh well, I'm gonna go try to get a piece of ass from the wife so I can feel like the night wasn't a total waste.

Re: Kite's training journal

Went to my massage guy today and he worked my forearms like freakin crazy! I've been icing it as well as using heat then cold and repeating. My buddy is planning on holding a bench meet here in town sometime in Feb, he's gotta get with everyone to decide on a date but God willing, my forearms and wrists will hold together long enough for me to put up something decent!

right forearm still hurts like a *****, but not bad enough to keep me out. It actually bothered me more on the squats than on pulls.

Re: Kite's training journal

1.11.07 Back work
Warmed up with a few sets of seated rows then,
wide grip pulldowns 200x10x3
chest support rows 3 plates x 6x3
1 arm db rows 95x12x2
I prolly shouldn't have done anything today cause of my wrist but everything went well (I could feel it but it wasn't too painful) until the 1 arm rows. When I did them with my left arm I used my right to support myself on the bench and just that little bit sent my wrist over the fukkin edge again. I'll be glad when I find out what the hell is goin on.

1.29.07 squat/dl raw (just belt)
Decided to kinda see where I was at today.
Squat off 14" box w/80# chain, barx10, 145x5, 195x5, 235x3, 285x3 325x3, 375x3, 415x2, 465x2, 505x1. The 505 went up really good but there wasn't anyone there to spot me so I just stopped there.
DL 405x1, 455x1, 495x1, 545x1, 585x1, 600x1. I treated these the same way I do speed, approx. 45 seconds rest between sets. I was kinda suprised by this cause I haven't gone real heavy in a while, but I guess I'm doin something right.
