Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Monday, 21st January, start 16:10 Cold again, I was the first one in and there were not many to follow. Dr Rick arrived later bit before that there was ju-jitsu guy, young Brooke who pb snatched 45 and the very new champion of England Mack the terrible. I benched Bench, very raw, squat boots 20 x 20 20 x 20 20 x 20 50 x 8 60 x 8 70 x 8 75 x 8 80 x 8 85 x 8 90 x 8 95 x 8 100 x 7 All these went really well until the last set. I didn't even ask for spotters so well were they going, the first six were a breeze, the seventh not too bad at all but it did make me wonder, the eighth was a fail. Not a hope in hell of getting it past half way, so I deposited it on my chest and asked for some assistance. I sensed some slight panic in the room so I told the chaps to take it easy, that I was just fine but really did need some assistance if I wanted the bar to move, Mack ambled over and honked the bar off me, I thanked him and that was that. Really major shock that I failed this. The beard will be stroked and the results of said stroking will be shared as and when I have them. | ||

I did think I kept my language within reason. Certainly my tone of voice was to quell panic rather than inspire it as I was aware that all thee people there present would be quite unfamiliar with the situation they were in. However what happens and what I remember may very well be two different things. I rather hope not on this occasion but not all my hopes are met. Still no harm done. By the by, Mack was performing paused squats with 170 in the good racks so he was right in front of me. He really is quite a formidable fellow when viewed at close quarters. Impressive in all respects. Knows what a pause is too. | ||

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts | Bench has a reputation of dying rather quickly for many people when they hit failure, often leading to a "WTF" moment. I'm tempted to experiment now with how long I could stand 100kg resting across my man-boobage before it became unbearable...if I do I shall report back, even if I am still under the bar. | ||

I immediately thought I would be able to last an hour like that. Having thought about it a little more it might be closer to a couple of minutes? I'll test it out tomorrow. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Please be careful gentlemen. I was there for ten or so seconds and that wasn't any kind if problem. I wouldn't imagine it would be very long before no problem became a problem and then the problem increased probably more quickly than you would expect. As I recall Einstein once said that two minutes having your cock sucked by a gorgeous blonde passes in a heartbeat, whereas two minutes lying in a gym with one hundred kilos on your chest seems to last forever. I may be paraphrasing there but that was the gist of it | ||

I reckon you could move it around a bit if necessary even if you left the bar as a dead weight most of the time. I once tried 100kg on my neck after reading of Benny Podda...it was doable for a very short period when carefully placed and when I knew experienced people were ready to take the bar. | ||

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17863 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Wednesday, 23rd January, start 16:15 Cold tonight, car says minus one on the car park. At lunch I checked back to re-read what I did a fortnight back, a triple at 200 ad sorely tempted to try 210. I resisted it then and I still believe that to have been the correct decision. Tonight's decision, all being well, do I top out at 210 or 220 ? Deadlift, tracky bottoms, knee sleeves and squat boots 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 60 x 5 100 x 3 120 x 3 140 x 3 160 x 3 180 x 3 belt on 200 x 3 220 x 3 All went rather swimmingly tonight. I don't normally use a belt for deads and on the occasions I do I usually start with it earlier than this, but tonight I didn't really think about it until I reached 200 and then, the thought having crossed my mind I decided it would do no harm so I put it on for the last two. Whether it helped or not I will never be certain, but I was certainly right about it doing no harm.The 220 wasn't easy but it wasn't too hard either. All three reps were the same, a good long hold at the end and a gentle put down. That would be good enough but the fact that the knees never grumbled once was the icing on the cake. Happy. Very happy in fact | ||
