Second session back in and I am feeling pretty fine. On Thomo's powerlifting menu for the evening was an entrée of heavy bench followed by light squats, which is essentially sets of three in cluster fashion and finished off with a dessert of 2 second pause deadlifting.
Despite a slightly scary tweak on the knee I felt good, though again opening numbers were a bit high (clearly I have underestimated how weak I am after intermittent training this last 9 weeks) but I compensated and will make adjustments with my coach for next week.
The session was a little over time at 1:20 but I am diligent with leg raises and pre-hab now so a up the work sets were likely only an hour.
I met a powerlifter there Dean who was getting his groove on working with four plates a side and it was good to see some iron brothers lifting compared to the typical menagerie of upper body only douches. Actually I shouldn't be too critical. I am fortunate to have been inducted at PTC Perth's old school lifting culture. It's a shame these young guys don't get the same coaching and advice though I am spending plenty of time strutting around in the PTC training shirt so we will see if that spreads the word a little!
As usual I can't seem to make my way through a session without at least one "what the f%&k" moment. Last night it was too guys who wanted to share the deadlift platform with me even though there was like 300 sqm of open perfectly new floor space to deadlift on. Whatever..though I did fuck with them as I was faced away from the mirror which meant the bro's couldn't see their refection in the mirror as they deadlifted. Ahh its always the small pleasures the make it all worthwhile!
Tomorrow heavy squats (relatively lol) overhead press and rows...bring it on!
