Member 2092, 592 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 220550.0 kgs @ 123.7kgs UnEq | Thanks pal, your deads and axle were brilliant on Sunday! Any comps lined up for yourself? My plan is to do the Dumfries Novice again in November then try the Scottish qualifier again and try to move up to open comps next year, the more experience the better! | ||

I don't think this is the quickest way to become an open competitor You know you need a 120 log and a 280 dead as a minimum. You don't need more comp experience you need those lifts, concentrate on those. Also, you train at a gym with most of the strongest guys in Scotland, and one of the best most helpful coaches (irishmarc), talk to them about getting your lifts up, and ditch this westside bulls**t  | ||

knows some really strong guys Member 323, 1436 posts SQ 305, BP 200, DL 285790.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq | Scottish said:Thanks pal, your deads and axle were brilliant on Sunday!

Will probably try to do a powerlifting comp before the end of the year. I might do the qualifier again next year too depending on dates/work . Good luck with your training and comps. | ||

Couldn't disagree more with ditch the westside  it has made my squatting and dead lift go up massively this past year. | ||

 embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | martinb said:Also, you train at a gym with most of the strongest guys in Scotland, and one of the best most helpful coaches (irishmarc), talk to them about getting your lifts up, and ditch this westside bulls**t For what it's worth I agree about Westside not being great for strongman as traditional Westside stuff is far too geared towards singles. If you like all the Westside stuff why not try something like Dave Whitingtons forced entry method which is a modified version of the cube method that uses some Westside principles but has far more rep work and I think is better suited to strongman. | ||

 a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | ditch west side IMO and other may agree of disagree its shote for Strongman. i have found that 5/3/1 works well for Deadlift, squats, bench and OH press. but its slow continued progress which i think i better. Not sure if the 120 log, and 280deadlift rule is still in operation atthe scottish, but you should be at that level anyway when trying a National qualifier. as martin has said utilise the experience around you to help you find a plan that works for you so that you can improve. | ||

Member 2092, 592 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 220550.0 kgs @ 123.7kgs UnEq | Thanks Steven, Martin - there is no minimum lift for the qualifier now, I know what you mean tho about pull and press needing to get stronger. Danny has had loads of success with this template and some will be from training with Cherry but at the same time his lifts have rocketed. Neil - ill have a look at his FEM program, the template I'm doing now iv tried to go up to something heavy and then have a back off set with more reps. Everything is worth a try tho! Cherry Westide Neil - loads of experience back home and in Edinburgh, I really need to get some consistent event training (log inparticular) working weekends gets in the way | ||
