I did this yesterday after a neat 100kg bear complex, I thought Id get up to 2 red plates based on nothing lol but just adding 10kgs took this to wrist snapping forearm destroying pain levels that I couldn’t defeat as I wish to keep lifting next week as well.
This is closer to what this sub wants right?
I felt extra fried and was aching so why not jump straight into a movement I haven’t done in years wjth no prep…good news, I did a body weight bear complex of 100kgs probably easier than ever because I’m way stronger now, and tighter and less mobile.
Even better news, my fingers, wrists, forearms, elbows and shoulders are all aching on fire and I had to stop but not before doing a max lol
For anyone not knowing a bear complex.
It’s a power/muscle clean Front squat Push press Back squat Behind the neck push press
With the same held bar
For the last 5 years I’ve done wrapped squats in comp and loved the numbers but always hated the extra time and work to use wraps so I’m going to do a sleeved comp this time when I’m ready and this is a PB, which gives me great hope to get 300kg / 660lb at comp
This is 605lb / 275kg x 1
Only thing I’m sorry for is the odd viewing angle, everything else is strict.
Also a 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3 and 2 rep PB, got to love that 🔥
I’ve been wearing large sleeves and training with no belt for maybe 12 months, I thought today was the day to see what I can do with belt back on and tighter sleeves
I did this so well it gives me hope to get a sleeved PB soon :)
How does it look to anyone that can judge it however.
This made my day
I spent over 10 minutes trying to rope / chain together 60 and 20kg dbs but I just couldn’t grip it today so will save that attempt for another time.
I had to settle for a strict near rep out with 60kgs.
Wow this ruined me, my arms my back, sweat city
These were hard today, starting to feel big pressure in the wrists with nearly minimal bicep pressure, might have to take pain killers soon and up the weight to get that strict legendary body weight barbell curl that I’m after
It’s 80kgs x 1, I think it should but I’ve not done a street lifting meet with weighted dips to know for sure
And to change it up from powerlifting I plan to do a meet and get a total, after I can do a neat muscle up with atleast 1kg hanging off me
Currently can’t do a neat one, so that’s my bottleneck right now but just checking
