Over at the farm this morning for yoke and bag toss. Worked up to a single run of 20m with 280kg then two sets of the comp weight bag toss runs, one at half speed then one all out run. Best set I’ve done on these so very happy.
Evening session in the barn worked up to a deload top set of 82.5×5 on military press followed by a set of 3 with 80kg on circus DB. Getting my rhythm right on these.

Yes I see it as a good option. Improves performance in the gym and should help maintain body composition
-
Rest day. Body is feeling good and I’m ready to shift some weight tomorrow. Light yoke and bag toss in the morning then deload military press and light medley in the evening.
-
Final heavy deadlift session ticked off in style today. 380 for 4 on the axle deadlift and they moved well. Had that aggression back in me today as well which felt awesome.
Body is feeling fresh as I taper. Day off tomorrow then some events on Friday. Nearly into the final week before Brits

Rest day.
Just had some massage today and the rest of the day was pretty chilled. Food prepped and steps done. Ready for my final heavy session tomorrow.

Physio session this morning followed by a press session in the afternoon. Worked up to a top single on the fixed axle of 150kg then 100kg on the circus DB before putting it together for a medley with the 90kg DB and 130 on the axle.
Felt much better on the clean this week and the medley went a lot smoother.

Rest day. Headed over to the farm to have a bit of a tidy up. Got some kit wrapped up and stored away that I’m not using at the moment and cleaned the floor up. Still load to be sorted over there after years of avoiding clearing stuff so I’ve got some sessions to do in the near future.
Back home I weighed in the fixed axle (120.7kg empty) and prepped the barn for tomorrow’s press session.

World’s shortest squat session today (planned) worked up to a single at 295kg and that was it. All volume stripped out especially on my lower session.
Rest day tomorrow with some general stuff planned to stay active.

Depends on the rest of the movements used in your A & B sessions. For example I personally wouldn’t want to do a barbell squat and a deadlift variation in the same session.
As for which one is better between and RDL and a SLDL it’s personal preference IMO. One is not better than the other. Run one for a while and see how you get on. Depending on how you perform them you may well find that a RDL targets your hamstrings a little more while a SLDL hits your erectors and glutes more or you might find it the other way round.

Yep agree with the team. The majority of people will handle deadlifts once per week when used for bodybuilding purposes.

Great day’s training. Started off at the farm for some light yoke and bag toss then back into the gym in the evening for military press and some work on the fixed bar axle cleans. Much more comfortable with them now, look forward to loading them up a bit on Monday with some DB as well. Military press felt very very easy tonight, taper is going well and doing its job.
Yoke 280x2x20m
Bag toss 3x6bags
Military Press 130×6
Axle cleans 5 singles

Rest day.
Not much to report other than got the basics done today. Ate my meals, moved a bit and had a mid afternoon nap.
Hot tub is playing up (first world problems I know) which is frustrating. Can’t work out why it keeps going into eco mode and dropping to 22 deg. Will try a few more things tomorrow but I fear I might need to call out a hot tub guy.
Farm tomorrow morning for events. Weather looks pretty crappy which isn’t ideal for throwing but at least it will add some urgency.
-
Great deadlift session today. All volume dropped out of my sessions now so only essential lifts are in. Happy with where my bodyweight is at so no real need for additional assistance work. Just worked up to my top set of 360 for 6 on the axle deadlift and left it there.
Into my taper now so it’s all about quality of my competition lifts. Icing on the cake and all that. Two more training weeks left
-
Rest day.
Got the fixed axle put back together today after a brief period of forgetting where I’d put the bolts for it. I tend to have periodic tidy ups of the gym and reorganise stuff to the point that I forget where I’ve organised it to.
Anyway that went together well and ready for Friday when I’ll go back to using it in place of a circus BB as any bars with brushing or bearing are just not doing the job.
Deadlifts tomorrow.
-
Rack pulls are piss poor IMO. Just make noise, inflate egos and bend bars.
Nothing wrong with good old fashioned conventional deadlifts. Show me a strong deadlifter and they will have a big back.
Of course SLDL and RDLs have their place but the vast majority of people would do well to use a simple conventional pull IMO.
