Bench Press at Catts - Wayne, Liam and Big Dave are in the house

60x3
100x3
140x3
160x1 (shoulder niggles)

200x3 (easy but to a 2 board)
215x3 (easy but no touch)
220x1 (no touch, weight flew up)
225x1 (thought this time the f**ker would touch but it did not - pressed it out though which I was pleased with)

And so...more weight needed next time - although uncomfortably close to my limit now and no touch as yet. If 230 don't want to play, I'm in the s**t.

Some raw board work

Weighed 17st and 8lbs this morning - kettlebelling x3 a week now and the fat is starting to move.

I think 250 would touch; but that would be about the end of it James.Unhappy

Nice sesh Dai. You can always touch better with the adrelaline of competition than you can in the gym. Go with what you can safely press and you'll touch on the day.

A strange and eventful week to report..

Our daughter's cat died week ago today, which left her and Mrs PP bereft and inconsolable. I had no choice but to miss training on the Tuesday.

I had to attend a job interview on Friday morning gone, which necessitated spending Thursday with my nose in the books - another training session missed.

Friday night I came down with this flu/spewing thing that's been going around which flattened me all weekend and caused my missing the push/pull.

Things have been picking up this week, starting with the offer of a new job on Monday.

Monday - Catts

Press on bench

60x5
100x5
120x3
140x3
160x1

200x2 (trying to "bounce" these to get the shirt working)
220x1 (1" off a touch)
225x1 (closer than last week)

Thanks for the kind words regards the job and the deceased feline. The job is one that I'm really pleased to land, although it will seriously curtail Sugden Barbell time during work hours.

As I missed squats last week, and have not been 100% was expecting a tough session under the squat bar last night. As usual, great work ethic and support of the boys helped enourmously.

Deep Knee Bends

60x3
100x3
140x3
180x3

225x1 (suit bottoms)
245x1 (wraps added)
270x1 (fully suited and booted at this point)
290x2 (strong first rep, grinder for the second)

Some strong squatting going in all around me, Big Mick looking uber strong again, JC happier he's discarded the briefs, Shamrock stronger than he'd expected, Big Dave just looking stronger every week, Young Liam pumping 160 for raw triples like an empty bar - happy days.

Its the latest Titan Centurion - NXG Super plus, I think its called.

I always have favoured the Titan stuff over Inzer.
