Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Results Gym Powerlifting Competition: Squat - 110, 115, 117.5 Bench - 82.5, 85, 90 Deadlift - 180, 190, 192.5 Happy with the numbers I put on the Bench and Deadlift - could probably have put another 2.5/5kg on the Bench, Deadlift couldn't have been closer to my limit. Would have liked another 2.5kg on the squat but it just wasn't there. New total = 397.5kg @ 73kg BW

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275 650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq	I have just realised who you are, didn't realise you posted on here mate. Good effort at the comp yesterday, sounded like a good day and pretty gutted to have missed it with work.

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 28.05.2013 @ 19:03 PM by BThomson Been thoroughly ill and miserable for a little over a week, first session back today: Bench Session: Bench - 5 x 10 @ 55kg Push Press - 3 x 8 @ 50kg Weighted Dips - 3 x 9 @ BW + 15kg Finished with some light core. Didn't go heavy at all today. Started a new 7 week % based program so all the core lifts this week will be at 60% 1RM. Will try to post the program in the next few days, when I get a chance.

Chasing down the 100kg bench and 200kg deadlift, bit of work still to do on the 150kg squat though. I train at Results in Aberdeen. Great wee place, full of experienced strongmen, bodybuilders and weightlifters.

Haha aye, started this not long after I started at results purely because my memory is utter s**t. Yeah it's a shame you missed it, was good banter. Some really good lifting too. Would be good to have them fairly regularly.

At least I'll know a bit better what to expect when I start competing properly next year. Hopefully I'll get my squat up by then!

Happy days.
