Picked up a flu type bug, feel like sh!t, not kept anything down all day, everything aches. Should have been deads tonight but no training at all. Oh well, 3 weeks to comp! | ||

The plan was to do a paused 110,115 and 120 then maybe repeat this at the comp. It's the first time I've done any 'proper' paused lifts and they are a lot harder than I thought, the 115 was very hard and the 120 just wouldn't have been there. It's knocked my confidence a bit. | ||

and thats just his waistline Member 391, 2799 posts SQ 217.5, BP 152.5, DL 272.5642.5 kgs @ 89.1kgs UnEq | Todays training Squats 10 x bar only 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg 5 x 140 kg 1 x 160 kg 1 x 160 kg 2 x 140 kg 5 x 100 kg Rope crunches 4 x 25 x 14 plates First 160 wasn't deep enough, walked out with 170 but put it back. Squatting in the morning really is a struggle for me but it's something that will happen in a comp so I'll have to get better. Currently I don't use any kind of energy or caffeine drinks before training, it might be time to give it a go. | ||

 Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | I always find tht if I am going to make a PB attempt it's best not to try it after lots of reps. 5x180 then 1x215F. My advice would be to warm up with reps up to around 150 then singles at 180 & 200 before a 215 attempt. After the big single you can start putting in the 5x180 work. | ||
