11/07/11 - Monday

Not too bad a training session, considering the lack of heavy training and consistency in the last few weeks.

Also I decided to enlist the help of Mike Tuchscherer via his Total Package Coaching, for the next 3 months leading up to the competition. 
I made this choice because of my recent lack of focus and the fact that how often can you get a world renowned elite lifter to coach you?

I will be continuing with my own training for a week or two until this program initiates.

1) Squat
Weight    Reps    Sets
60             5          1
100           5          1
140           5          1
160           5          1   - added belt
190           5          1  - quite hard, felt detrained

Right knee started to messup again, patella tendon acting up again.

130           1          1
140           1          1 - pretty wiped by here, plus both pecs are very stiff and tight, this was not max effort but decided to stop here
100           8          1 - could not bothered to continue.

3) Pullups
bw = 118-119kg
5/6/2(right wrist went on last set)

No deadlifts tonight, felt drained and with injured knee, decided to stop here and dead later in week.

Still feelling drained from the meds and the wrenched shoulder.

1) Press 5x5
40x5
50x5
60x3 - shoulder giving too much pain, so stopped here.

2) Squat - high bar close stance (no bounce) no belt
60x5
100x5
140x4 - back felt a bit off on last rep so stopped here

stopped here, very little energy and still injured from friday.
