do you use chalk?

strong cgbping!!!


cheers t. no chalk mate (or belt!) My bar is just a cheap non oly one (it weighs 8.7kgs) so its all smooth in the middle. I am working on a bit of a deadlift plan at the minute which I'll start next week.

Check out those colons Grin Are you trying to bust the bulls**t filter!?!


what's wrong with colons????? Why doesn't the bulls**t filter like them? Actually I usually do it like this 90/5 but keep doing this 90:5 by mistake so I thought I'd just do them all like this.

it would be nice marc. I think I need a 170 squat for a 500 total so thats really my first aim. Once i've nailed that, roll on 200Wink
I've never really trained the squat hard for more than a couple of months at a time so I'm eager to see what a year of 5s will do.

zercher squats - dont they really hurt ??

what would they add to the normal squattie stuff - front / box / back ?

yes, but i am hard as nails mateGrin. No actually i don't find them particularly painful, but i am not going very heavy either!

I don't think they add anything more than any other option to be honest. The way I do them it is like a half front squat i suppose. I do quite a lot of back squatting just working up to my top sets, so I thought i would add in a different quad-style squat for a bit of variety to be honest; Maybe I'll film a couple of sets next week.

sqory for the slow update but i've been busy this week-didn't get in until late. i logged on at work but I couldn't remember my password!

anyway, on wednesday I went to train with a powerlifter.

This is what i did

squat worked up to 15 /1 pb (failed on the second)

then 60kg for a few sets (some of them paused)

bench
worked up to 120kg pb
80/13
50/32

incline smiths machine 5 sets of 10

tricep pushdown 5 sets of 15

now obviously there was some good stuff here (pb on squat/bench). but the squat pb was just me bored of waiting for the guy to turn up who started squatting.

On the plus side, it was a nice change to work with others and be coached.

On the negative side, it is a couple of hours round trip, so it won't be any more than once a week. Also, the guy who coaches doesn't have his own facility so its in a keep fit place which is very crowded. and thirdly, I really wanted to train with some stronger people but all the group he was training were beginners/weaker than me. From talking to him, i know he trains/ works with some good level lifters so I 'll
just have to find out when they train.

Actually not too heavy really; it certainly wasn't a balls to the wall effort. the second should really have gone up, its just the guy arrived at the moment and I just sort of stopped at the bottom.

The coach gave me some advice about putting the bar a bit lower, moving my hands/arms a bit which all seemed to be good for the next time i try to go heavy. In a competition tomorrow i would certainly have a go at 160 as a third attempt.

Cool, makes me wonder about your deadlift though. Is 170 still your 1RM? Surely not.
