Overhead Press
5x10 40kg

Deadlift
5/3 150kg
2x5 110kg

Notes
Overhead press was good. I did technique work.

Deadlift was heavy because my hips were too high and my shoulders too much in front of the bar. I have to look more upward and my hips have to be lower. So lowered the weight and worked on my technique.

Friday January 31st 2014

Overhead Press
5x40kg
5x45kg
5x50kg
10/7/7 55kg

Deadlift
5x70kg
5x80kg
10/10/13/5 90kg

Horizontal Back extension
3x10 25kg

Hanging Leg Raises
3x10 BW

Notes
The spreadsheet calculating the weights was wrong. So I pressed too heavy and did not get my reps.



Deadlift was better. When I lift the weight I lose tension in my back. The other guys said that it is not because I am too weak instead I have to work on my technique. So I did another set of 5 and my form was better. I pull conventional again after the weekend in London.



Afterwards I did some accessory stuff.

At the weekend I will read the ebook about Juggernaut Method 2.0 and create my own spreadsheet calculating the weights correctly.

My work weight on squats should be 112.5 kg. I used clamps and each of them weighs 2.5 kg ... The bar slipped off my back. Nevertheless I got 7 reps more and so I can increase my working max for the next wave.



Accessory exercises were easy.

Hanging leg raises were killing my abs.

Notes
Another light workout.

After StrongLifts London I switched back to conventional deadlifts. The members of my strength club checked my technique and my lower back was slightly rounded, even in the starting position. I tightened everything and still could not get it straight. I used a deadlift calculator. It tells whether you are stronger using the conventional or sumo deadlift. My arms and my torso are so long that the answer was either. It does not matter whether I lift conventional or sumo. Since my lower back is straight in the sumo deadlift I pull sumo again. So I pulled light for technique purposes in some additional sets.

Accessory exercises were light.
