Training 28/07/2014 High bar squat 70 x 3 115 x 3 115 x 3 115 x 3 115 x 3 115 x 3 Paused bench press Bar x 12 75 x 3 75 x 3 75 x 3 75 x 3 75 x 3 Deadlift 125 x 3 125 x 3 125 x 3 125 x 3 125 x 3 Light one to get back into the swing of things again. Still a little sore from Saturday. | ||

First set on bench was a bit s**tty but got better after that. Deadlifts were fine. Feeling back to normal again today as I managed to get 10.5 hours sleep last night. | ||

I also found out today that my total on Saturday was enough to qualify me for the British junior equipped next year so I may chuck on my knee wraps sometime next year and see what I can hit. | ||

Member 3720, 1113 posts SQ 237.5, BP 160, DL 272.5670.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | Training 04/08/2014 Low bar squat 70 x 3 100 x 2 130 150 Belt + sleeves 170 190 202.5 180 x 5 (=pb) Paused bench press Bar x 12 60 x 3 80 x 2 100 120 133 120 x 5 (pb) Deadlift 70 x 3 140 x 3 140 x 3 140 x 3 140 x 3 140 x 3 With today's squat parameters set at 200-210, I decided to base my single off my rep on 190. The 202.5 felt pretty heavy but was a little better than Fridays rep. 180 x 5 felt ok and was definitely better than when I set that pb 14 months ago now. Parameters for the bench single was 130-135 so based it off my 120 beforehand. 133 was not quite as I wanted it as I lost some tension on the touch. The set of 5 on 120 started of incredibly well for the first 2 reps then got noticeably harder on the third and fourth. Didn't think I had a fifth rep in me but went for it anyway and just got it after a massive fight. Deadlifts felt decent. This is my penultimate training block before the GBPF classic in October as the weekend I finish this block, I go away on holiday for 2 weeks before returning for a 3 week build up to the comp. In 13 days time I will also be lifting at the All England comp. Whilst pissing around on Facebook this morning, I found this video of me hitting a 185kg pb deadlift back in May 2011. Going into the session my pb was 180kg and the week before I had only managed to hit 155. This was also the first session I ever took pre workout. Form looks pretty similar to now except for I tend to keep a more neutral head position at the start of my pull whereas previously I looked up. | ||

Deadlifts felt pretty decent today. I feel that a lot of it is due to the amount of times I do it per week so when I go heavy it is just second nature really. | ||

Member 3720, 1113 posts SQ 237.5, BP 160, DL 272.5670.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | Training 06/08/2014 Low bar squat 70 x 3 110 x 2 140 160 Belt + sleeves 175 (misload, was meant to be 177.5) 192.5 x 3 (pb) 182.5 x 5 (pb) Paused bench press Bar x 12 60 x 3 80 x 2 100 115 125 x 3 (pb I think) 125 x 3 125 x 3 Squats were hard today. Hit pb's in both sets but form was a little back happy and not as quick as I would have wanted. Happy to get the reps on bench, first 2 sets weren't great but the third one was decent. | ||

Bench was good up to the heavy single. Line was a touch off on the heavy triple on the first and last reps which made it extremely difficult to lock out the third rep but I got there in the end. Deadlifts felt good as well. | ||
