Mini Forklift Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Have a couple of session to write up but I'm feeling like I'm making good progress. Over the weekend I hit a tough 253 squat and a very easy 220 bench for a couple of sets. Got it all on video, so will upload them and type it all up later this arvo.

I probably won't for now as I end up spending a lot of time on the computer, I'm already on a fair bit between this one and the Muscular Development forum... I run the Powerlifting section on that one so that keeps me pretty busy. Look forward to seeing your bench come up, I'll keep an eye on things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini Forklift Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Notes on the Klokov Press: With the extra wide grip I found it tough, couldn't use much weight at all as it really exposes your weak points. I think it's harder because wide grip takes out the triceps, pressing from that dead stop is a killer. The dip/mini squat is simply what Klokov does to absorb the heavy weight coming back onto his shoulders. Why am I incorporating this? Just another bit of variety that works across the whole shoulder girdle and making a weak point into a strength. I know a couple of guys from Eastside that have been using it (both military press 315+) and they've already increased their wide grip pressing strength as well as their overall pressing power; now that I'm benching with a wider grip I thought I may benefit a little from it also.

Mini Forklift Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Have a good couple of sessions to write up, just heading into my final heavy two weeks and then that's about it. In a nutshell my squats are still shit, bench is okay and I think DL's are not too bad at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
