This Mouse will ROAR - Training Log

[Mouse]

Cool workout. Good you could finish the TGUs after running out of gas on the dips. Why the idea of adding a box suddenly on the last set?

Moment of madness?
Thought popped into my head after all the talk of 12" or 14" boxes that mine was only 11.5". Thought i'd see what it was like with the box higher (stacked a couple of 5kg plates on it) - must be mad.

Kinster - my rack just has a straight bar for pulls and chins.
But that one looks good - it will let you vary your grip more.
It's similar to Willie's rack shown on this page.

Hi Mouse

Was it from Powerhouse fitness? I just ordered one and am hoping it will have the same as the handles in the pic.

Regards

Yes - mine was from Powerhouse - the one in the picture you posted is probably a newer model

Good lifts tonight

Nice squats, Mouse. Should we assume that all your squats are box squats unless otherwise noted?
Great DL, too.
Glad to see you got the rack put together. Anyone hung laundry on it yet?

More like the other way around - all squats are normal squats unless otherwise noted !

Rack? - haven't changed my rack - was just answering a query for kinster.

Good luck holvoetn, I just did this yesterday - the three of us have very similar strength on the deadlift!

Go get it H - hope that finger holds up.

Rob - yes - all similar height and bodyweight as well- just that H is so old

Left hand did not hold ... only 3x160kg. Back and legs were not an issue, just that damned hand letting go.
Will post my log entry in a couple of minutes (first need some glasses of milk and some eggs )

PS me old ? You know that remarks makes it worse for you since I am older so in a competition I win at equal lifts

[Mouse]

3x160 still not to be sneezed at especially with a dodgy finger.
Good lift H

You got any pics of yourself from start to present?
