Member 2300, 126 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 235575.0 kgs @ 92kgs UnEq | I love 30 reps sometimes 50! I'm sure your hit it at your comp ....I'd imagine the best tips for lockout are getting stronger on 15inch pulls , 18inch pulls and stiff leg deads ,I'm messing around with powercleans instead of Deadlifts ATM feel it benefits speed from the floor | ||

Do you feel any benefit of going so high, or are you just a bit mental? lolI've been wanting to add powercleans for some time now, but I'm just worried about the technique. I can't wait to start training with Ray Williams, to finally sort that issue out. RossA said:nice work dude. your very strong. awesome numbers at your weight. good luck with the british champs! Thanks, Rossa. Let's hope that I can display my strength at the comp, as at the moment, I'm bloody bricking it! | ||

Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | After some light reading, and recommendations from MyProtein forum users, I've decided to try out carb back-loading, and fasted training(courtesy of 'Strong Like Wood' at MP forums). One of the benefits of fasted training, is that you consume your pre-workout drink on an empty stomach. Now, I was a little skeptical of the difference it would make - but not any more! I have never been so ready to train in my life - nothing was getting in my way today. Bench 2x5x60 2x5x100 3x120 paused - very strong 135 paused - quick quick 142.5 paused 147.5 paused - easy! I failed a 'touch and go' 145 last week! 152.5 paused - easy!!! Big paused PB! Over the moon! 10x120 - +2 rep PB! 8x125 - +2 re PB!! 3x140 Warm up squats, as my hamstring needed some stretching 2x180 - deep and fast. Back-loading carbs + fasted pre-workout drink = insane drive and determination! I will definitely be sticking to this! BOOOOM! | ||

The biggest change was allowing my knees to track forward more.Squats 2x5x60 3x100 140 180 220 - really nice. Felt my quads play their part, for a change. 230 - Felt as though I could have had another 10kg, there. Decided not to go bigger, as I maxed out yesterday, almost did today, and I should be maxing out on deads tomorrow. Sore ass for the weekend. | ||

Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Yesterday Squats a very quick single on 180kg DE bench Very painful shoulder, so I could not put much force under the bar, so stopped. Close grip bench 5x120 - should have been 10x120, but the pain stopped me  2x140 - should have been 4, as above. Desperately trying to stretch my upper back and shoulder muscles, so that I can lift properly on saturday. If it is not fixed, then the pain could bugger up both bench and deadlifts. If there is a God, now's a good time for you to help me out! | ||

The day after the competition, my BW had risen by 4kg - fat bas***d! Unfortunately for Chris, I've decided that I'm going to stick to the U90s, as I'm going to get myself down to 87kg or so. As my date is coming up, I figured that now is the best time for it. | ||

Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Training Yesterday Squats 60 - felt like my knee was going to explode, so I left them out. Bench 130kg - felt sooooo heavy!! Military press Top set of 5x60 - again, sooooooo heavy! Push downs 3x10 BOR Top set of 5x120 Performance was raped because I went up Snowdon on Sunday without much to eat. Don't know why, but I just didn't have much of an appetite. Today Box squats, very wide stance to remove some pressure from my knee(which is being a boob), beltless. Bar 5x60, 100 (felt very stiff) 120 3x140 2x160 180 200 220 - easy, but left there due to my knee. With the RN being only two weeks away, I don't want to risk anything. Deads 60 100 - didn't feel right at all! So I switched to... ...DE Good mornings. 5x2x160 Incline DB press 8x200lbs(combined) Massive stretch! | ||

Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Squats 240 - comfortable! Strength has returned! 250 - just missed it, very pleased that it's nearly there though DE bench 6x2x80 Me bench 150 - smooth Triceps push downs 3x10 Close grip pull downs 4x6 Another great fasted workout! | ||

Member 2793, 523 posts SQ 245, BP 175, DL 302.5722.5 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq | Deads 8x100 140 180 220 - speedy 260 - not that hard, but not as easy as it should be, so I left it there. Front squats 8x100 - biceps hurt, so sacked them off. SLDL 4x180 - easy enough, but really couldn't be bothered. Ran out of time, so no more sets. No benching either | ||
