Wobbly squats, bench press and chain deadlifts…… and ready for sleeptest
This I had a ligth weight session, ofcourse 😉 And I added bands with dumbells and chains to the excersises squats, deadlift and bench press.
Below an impression of today’s training.
Squats (wobbly) 3×2 90kg + 30kg dumbells + 20kg chains
Deadlift 3×2 160kg + 20kg chains
Bench press 3×2 70kg + 20kg plates + 20kg chains
Also I had an appointment for my sleeptesting for tonight. Looking like the man of six million dollar 😀 ……. I thought by myself…. I can also visited the trainstation and just walk around without my jacket…… Curious what they call a measure during the night and what the outcome will be of this test. On 19th Februari I will know more…..
Next recovery session…..
Recovery sesion 2 🙂 30 minutes trainingsession…
It felt okay to train such a short time….. Physical my body feels good. So now I take the time to recover from my mental effort. During the Fox Gym Cup meet I kept myself away from the crowd and listened to 80’s music all the time. Nevertheless I feel a mental fatigue and therefore I trained yesterday and today only for 30 minutes. Click here, to watch the video of my meet 😉
Today’s light weight recovery:
Squats 3×3 110kg (pause)
Deadlift 3×3 140kg (stop after lift-off)
Bench press 3×3 90kg (2 stops)
Just recovery training….
Still pleased with my result of yesterday meet. Most of all that I’m lifting on the platform again….. and now I have to wait for the first upcoming meet in September 🙁 😉 Blog of yesterday meet, click here!
Today light weight recovery:
Squats 3×3 120kg
Deadlift 3×3 150kg
Bench press 3×3 95kg

1992 | -100 | 285 NRJ | 150 | 300 NRJ | 735 | 1 |
First junior in Holland, with a bodyweight below 100 kilos, who lifted national junior record of 300kg deadlift.
Classic Powerlifting Nationals Master I 2018…… started at the Powerlifting Nationals (juniors) in 1987
Where will I start 🙂 Looking back this year gives me a lot of uncertain feelings and thoughts. And at the end the trigeminal neuralgia is gone for a year….. Believe me that is really awesome.
Nevertheless I have to cope that my live has changed after the brain operation. Step by step it’s becoming easier if I hold the boundaries I’ve got now….. Before my illness I didn’t have any boundaries in work, training etc. 🙂 Now I take my rest during the day and plan my work (even better) I feel I got more grip on it (again). Trainingsessions during the week are maximum 1 hour and in the weekend I train only once. That session does not take longer than 1,5 hour. So I’ve created a new way of training (light weight sessions 🙂 ). Besides that I found a new way of breathing (to keep the pressure out of my head) feels great. Like a little kid 🙂 Although I don’t lift the weights I did in the past. I’m able to lift on the platform again. And that gives me a lot of joy and a goal to train.
In 1987 I lifted my 1st Powerlifting Nationals (juniors at the age of 18 🙂 ) Since then I lifted at least 1 national competition per year 🙂 So 31 years in a row and still feeling like a junior.
Today Iris was my coach and Ilrish was here back support. Please read the blog of Iris and watch here video. She had a great equipped session yesterday. click here! Thank you both for your support. You did a great job.
Squats: I opened with 195kg (no sleeves), 2nd squat 207,5kg and 3rd 212,5kg
Bench press: Started with 120kg (no belt), 2nd 125kg and 3rd 127,5kg
Deadlift: 1st attempt 220kg (no belt), 2nd 235kg and 3rd 242,5kg
Total of 582,5kg and that is good for the moment. Unfortunately the next meet which I can compete will be in September……. or I have to lift a the Equipped Powerlifting Nationals at the end of this moment…… Will that be wise at this moment? No……. At the Equipped Powerlifting Nationals I got another thing to do 😉
Video of today’s Nationals. Recorded by Ilrish Kensenhuis. Thank you 🙂
Tick…. tick….tick…. tick ….BOOM
That’s how I can describe yesterday’s training.
I tried my hardest to make this week go as smooth as possible.
.
.
I can check the following boxes.
□ Did all work outs
□ Managed my time a lot better
□ Felt strong during the week
□ Eat and slept enough
□ Looked forward to the ‘lightweighted’ central training
.
.
Even with all this preperation the central training got me like…..RU FREAKING KIDDING ME.
.
.
Squats felt heavy….bench went much better….and deadlifts……..:-/. Don’t you even get me started!
In Dutch there is a saying that goes like: those who are not strong should be smart.
Well… I can tell you that is difficult with a fried brain.
.
.
During this training I asked myself many times….what am I doing? Why does this feels like I’m surviving. I’m glad to say that my technique saved me through this day cause I felt like ‘UGH’. The head was out of office, and my manners took a vacation. Alll that was left was the heart to lift with.
.
.
My sister @ilyscious was there to have my back. Every step a long the way, alongside coach. The one and only coach who made me do extra sets and reps to get the best (of that day) out of me. That is what I realise now. But at that moment it felt like he was pushing all my buttons and really got on my nerves. We are still friends but I did not like his behaviour that much! Or was it my own?
.
.
This video shows what that looks like. I dare you to watch it (without laughing).
*3×170KG EQUIPPED SQUATS
*5×195KG EQUIPPED DEADLIFTS
.
.
After getting my frustration out of the way, Coach was so kind to remind me of the boxes I forgot to check:
□ Not sticking to the order of the programme
□ Forgetting that I’ve made progression
□ Being to ‘lightheaded’ about the lighttraining
□ Choosing to survive
□ Taking one step at a time
.
.
Uhm….what did you say? Well that sets the record straight!
.
.
When you think you know, but you have no idea.
.
.
Untill we meet again
Just light weight + recovery = getting ready for Sunday?
