 he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Went along to help out at a gym powerlifting comp today, and got roped in to taking part. After 3 months off I had no idea what lifts to even choose, but thought it would make a fine training session Squat 200 felt very light but just wanted to start easy 220 felt like an empty bar 240 felt quite nice, but I cut it a couple of inches high so didnt get the lift. Knew myself I had done it. Still, makes me feel better about it coming back reasonably quick Bench 140 very easy, but I never do paused bench with commands, so this was a first for me 150 also very easy 160 nope, relaxed at the bottom waiitng for the command and got no power at all Quite por really Deadlift 240 effortless 260 very easy 275 wish I had picked a higher number as it was very easy All in all a fun little training session, nice to see a dozen guys taking part, some of them did really well and hit some good PBs I found it hard being a way off my max lifts, but it was fun all the same. Once Wilks was factored in I was 2nd overall | ||

Yeah, hopefully he can keep it up. I will have to wait and see if I can train consistently and get back to any level of strength by the qualifier, and if I will even be here, but if so then hopefully there will be 4 Shetlanders down | ||

he's got betty davis eyes Member 1684, 6001 posts SQ 250, BP 186, DL 291727.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Vid of the other day. One of my benches is missing and the failed one is on twice, thisis what happens if Colin does anything. After watching it I went to gym yesterday to have a rethink on bench and squat tech as I am not happy with either. Feel like the lifts I got were all really easy, but made a total mess of the last squat and the bench. Bench paused bar x lots 60x10 100x5 120x3 with commands changed grip 100x2 with commands 120x3 100x9 long pauses weight definatly feels lighter with wider grip, but I stopped doing it a long time ago becasue it bothered my shoulder. Will see what happens Squat Bar x8 60x8 80x5 100x3 120x3 140x3 150x3 170x3 190x1 Trying to sit back more and turn feet out a bit. Been squatting too much with knees bending forward I think. Have a real mental issue with sitting back | ||

 a large fingered spastic that demolishes plant Member 89, 31706 posts SQ 260, BP 220, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 142kgs UnEq | i think with time with what we were speaking about yesterday with bench and squats and me pointing out your foot and knee position you'll find it more controlled especially with Squats. | ||
