Aidan's Training Log (just weak strongman) - Page 105

Looks good and has made great aesthetic progress. We also say that every set of pics, but that's because it's always true. Can't wait to see the next six month update when you show off pecs that PRd 315 bench

HS is correct. I asked for a title change off something like "Aidan's Lift-Run-Bang Log" to "Aidan's Lifting Log" after I hadnt been doing Paul Carter's programing for a while. anklebreaker left in the (just Lifting and Banging) part, which i believe was a head nod to the fact that i couldnt run anywhere with a torn achilles tendon. I like to think i've earned it now, though!

TnG Bench Press
100x5
100x5
100x5
100x5
100x5
100x10

Bull bar squat

DB Flies

Went well, 10 reps at two wheels feels pretty good. Did the bull bar squats the wrong way around, which made it a lot tougher on the abs (unintentionally good). Skipped back work because I went and did some back work last night while the missus lifted, hopefully she gets back into a routine after being super busy for a while.

Thats a lot of bench volume. 10 at 100 is a nice milestone.

Has your wife ever thought about competing? My sister just started lifting and said she would compete in October so I'm pretty excited about that.

No, she pretty adamantly doesnt want to compete, to the extent that before we went last night she wanted to make sure not everyone who lifts at GS competes so she wouldnt be the only non-competer. If she strings a few weeks together i'll sign her up for a novice comp though. Only $25 if she really doesnt want to do it. I think having a goal would be good, but she's playing soccer at the moment so that takes up a bit of energy too.

Wow, I remember reading this log in 2013-2014ish when your 1RM was around 100kg and now you're banging out sets of 10. Really awesome progress. Just goes to show that hard work (and GOAT genetics obv) can help you climb IEL Mountain.

Congrats on good genetics.

Pow, bench press and deadlift have come a long way over the last year. Squat has improved too, but not as rapidly. Doing more and doing it consistently helps, who'd have thunk.

Thanks, dt.

Bench looks pretty solid, but here are a couple nit picky things:

- On the liftoff, your shoulders come out slightly. You fix this before you start bring the bar down, but its better & safer if you stay locked in while you're getting the handoff.

- When you touch, you're getting slightly loose.

Both of these are lat looseness issues.

Other than that, it looks pretty good to me.

yeah, there's a lot to remember and practice when you bench. I rarely get it all right.
