TBH I can't see them lasting overly long, but it's something to proctice on. Agreed, they certainly wont last the duration of the comp in September and won't be fit to be used for max log with guys like Davy, Martin and Dhanni all going up near 140-150kg. | ||

Exactly, if JC gets in he will be another up at those weights. I an sure with training Marc Keys would have a decent log also, maybe Chris Newlands too? Your log is coming on as well. I think a max log event would destroy it, as people dont tend to put max attempts, especially failed ones, down carefully | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | I hadn't thought about Keys, JC or Newlands either, also just been told by Buzz that he wouldn't want to load much more than 120kg on one of the wooden logs so looks like they're gonna have to use the metal log with the stupidly wide hand spacing. Did some squatting today, trying to get used to having heavier weights on my back again ahead of the squat in the Arnolds Qualifier. Squat: 160kg X 3 sets of 3 180kg X F, suit on with straps down and couldn't get near parallell. 200kg X 1, depth was a bit questionable, still struggling to get to parallell. 220kg X 2, Rep PB and I think a straps down PB. 240kg X 1, wraps on too for this one, PB with straps down, f**ked up my set up and had to unrack it 3 times before I was centred on the bar, think I would have been good for another rep with a spotter and if I hadn't messed around setting up for so long. Leg Press X some Leg Extensions X some Also played about with the new wooden log for a bit, it's alright but showers you with splinters and bark every time you press it and gets sap everywhere. Pretty decent session today getting the feel of the squat suit again, think a new PB is in order next week, hoping for 275 or 280. | ||

Cheers mate, got the Arnolds Qualifier in July and its got a rising bar machine squat, just trying to get the feel of the suit again before that comp as I'm not gonna get much of a chance to train in it between the Uks qualifier and it. | ||

Is that the one with the kegs? Great bit of kit, I got a shot at the 2011 final. As for the log, if we asked nicely would Leggiez lend his one? If I take the boat i could take one, but its 90kg empty so wouldn't get it on a flight  | ||

If I take the boat i could take one, but its 90kg empty so wouldn't get it on a flight I think Lee said it was similar to the one used when SSM was up in Fort William, should be a really good event though. I'm sure we could get a shot of Leggiez' one if needs be, I'll see how things work out. I've got nothing to do with the organisation of the comp in September and am only competing in it so will leave it up to Austen. | ||

I think the one we used was the Fort William one. It is good fun | ||

embarrasingly poor bench Member 2684, 4043 posts SQ 240, BP 135, DL 275650.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Cheers Chaos. Deadlifting today. Deadlift: various warmups to 180kg, all DOH for a DOH PB. 220kg X 2 240kg X 1 260kg X 2, raw PB for weight and reps. 290kg X fail with the suit, got it to the knees but stalled out and couldn't get it moving again, another couple of inches higher and I'd have locked it out comfortably. Then fails with 290kg and 285kg, neither of which were particularly close. 15" deadlift: 250kg X 3 sets of 3, adding these in as I think it is the area of the lift where I always miss lifts. Bent Over Rows: 125kg X 3 sets of 10 Finished with lots of rolling thunder and other grip stuff. Happy with a new raw PB, although I reckon I'm probably still good for a bit more, and while a bit annoyed about missing 290kg it's the closest I've been to getting it and think I'll be good for it fresh. | ||

Aiming for a 250 squat by the end of 2012 Member 1989, 3168 posts SQ 240, BP 140, DL 270650.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Wooden logs are s**t Neil!! You end up with splinters every time it gets used and crap falls into your eyes. Solid training you making some real progress. | ||
