Browners New Powerlifting Log

It looks good if you have the spare cash and fancy some variety in your training, although I don’t know what this would give you that barbell rows and T bar rows wouldn’t.

Faster setup that doubles as plate storage. I find T-Bars hit things a bit differently; virtue of the weight being in a different place probably?

Looking for another piece of equipment, not sure whether I want to go or his route, pulldown (higher rep work then bw chins), leg extension/curl - extra volume without the same whole body impact.

I think it would be worth a shot. If anything the new variation and new stimulus may provide a faster adaptation than exercises you would have used in the past. Plus its always fun to use a new bit of kit or exercise variation.

Feel like squats have kind of plateaued lately but then again I was on night feed duties last night with the little man so squats after no sleep were never going to move the best.

Gym again today, and squatted again. Been playing around with footwear, stance with, foot position and hand placement and finally found something that felt strong (ish)

Going to stick with flats, heels throw me too far forward coming out of the hole, and being a hip dominant squatter stop me using my strengths in the squat. Heels also give me really bad knee pain after squats.

Stance with is moderate but pointing me feet a bit more straight forward rather than flared I feel like I can generate a bit more torque in my hips to get more power.

Grip I’m going to stick with the thumbs around rather than thumbs over as I feel I can really pull my lats tighter this way. The downside of this though is that this is the grip that tends to give me bicep tendinitis.

Anyways that’s enough boring stuff;

After tweaking my back slightly yesterday and missing out on my deadlift volume I still wanted to get some mkind of deadlift work in this week, so sumo block pulls it was as I feel zero strain on my lower back doing these. Aslo a bit of active recovery assistance stuff... Single leg bulgarian squats, inlcline bench and face pulls.

6 Weeks Out from the South West champs and my squat feels like it’s going backwards. Was supposed to work up to a single @8 RPE should be around 200. Last warm up at 185 moved fine, loaded up 202.5 and had to ditch it on the safety bars. Hopefully just a bad day.

Less than 6 Weeks Out from comp and developed a lower back or glute strain/niggle possibly caused by that failed squat on Monday. The good news is that I could do some deadlift work around 65% without pain so hopefully it’s just something minor that will go soon.
