| Hello All, Just got back from the BDFPA Britsh Unequipped championships and and pleased to say that I'm still the daddy at 82.5kg Not everything went to plan though, I forgot to stock up on potassium so had to do my weight cut completely without - which meant I was cramping up like a bas***d all day. My scales were also out to get me, they have consistently ready 0.2kg heavy for my last 3 comps (straight off the comp scale onto mine), but yesterday decided to read 0.6kg light. This meant I had to loose a couple of lbs via running and sweating pre-weigh in. It also meant that instead of cutting 6lbs as planned I ended up cutting 8 which left me feeling pretty s**tty. Any way onto the lifts Squat 235kg opener Felt easy, I was nervous because I've recently switched from a narrowish stance with a oly heel to a wide stance with a flat sole and I didn't really have a great instinct for depth - Turns out I knew where depth was just fine  255kg WDFPA Record Hit this mother with 3 white lights, but I was seeing stars afterwards  . Felt pretty much like a max lift but I thought I'd chance my luck with 260kg260kg This lift started to go wrong as soon as I picked the bar up, it just didn't feel right - My bar path was crap and I lost tightness at the bottom, I think I only got about 4' out of the hole  Bench 135kg Opener I've really been struggling with my bench recently so I picked a easy weight to open with. It was made more difficult by the spot, I asked for a centre spot and the gut didn't wait for me to finish arching up before the lifted the bar. Luckily I still made the lift easy enough. 142.5kg I was planning to jump to 145kg but the s**t spot had knocked my confidence. It turns out that this was a very smart move. I had a word with the centre spotter and told him that he needed to weight for my count before lifting off. To his credit he did wait this time and lifted off at the right moment but he literally lifted all 142.5kg of bar off, then when I said "my bar" he proceeded to drop it like it was scalding hot. This nearly buried me but I somehow managed to stabilize and lift the bloody thing, although I really over arched my back and sent it into a spasm. 145kg My back was still cramping up and this felt far heavier than it should - I had another word with the spotter and this time got the bar handed to me a bit more gradually. I had a decent stab at the weight but couldn't lock out  Deadlift 235kg Opener Easy 250kg Again easyish, but I was getting tired at this point (cramps had been getting bad at this point) 255kg Hard lift and I had to grind it out but I only got 1 white light - no idea why All in all I'm a happy bunny - I made things difficult for myself with the potassium oversight but I still hit a massive squat and a decent total of 647.5kgs. I was aiming for 660kg but it wasn't to be - next time Cheers Macca | |||

| Hello All, I'm going to build myself a lifting platform and can't decide whether to have the centre made of wood like this http://www.g2fitnessproducts.com/ProductImages/york_barbell/st... or simply have it all covered in rubber..... I'm probably only going to powerlift from it so it probably makes sense to cover it all in rubber but I'm being drawn to the classic platform. I'm also thinking that I have a wood centre, it will make it easier if I ever want to use bands etc (easy to screw stuff into wood). Thoughts? Cheers Macca | |||

Post Edited: 22.02.2010 @ 13:01 PM by BigMacca Spam said:With that sort of total you wont get much competition at 82.5kg unless he drops down again to that cat. 90kg sounds like a good choice pal, I know its not much fun having to drastically cut weight all the time. That'll be me dropping down a placing but it will make the u90's even more competitive 660-670kg is an awesome total at either 82.5 or 90, but I think 700 is needed to be sure of beating the big fella. I feel I have a 660 in me for this year with 700 being at least 2 years away, at the moment anyway. I'd like 700kg at 82.5 but I think I may have to go upto 90kg for a year to get there.... I'll stop spamming Iain's log now Macca | |||
