Glad the road trip was worth it for you.Now a good winter in the gym and come next year you will be smashing these comps Happy


Cheers Mark, it was a really good day. The plan is certainly to have a good winter in the gym and hopefully come into next season strong.

On the downside when I was down found out that the masters powerlifting is down at Burns Gym Dumfries on 4 December rather than at Mastrick. A bit of a shame because it appears that if you want to do powerlifting in Scotland and stay anywhere north of Dundee you're gonna have to drive at least 3 hours to get to any competitions as the furthest north meet this year was Glasgow.

Also, here's the video from yesterday.

Cheers Ben, saw what you meant about the results log not being so thick as well, still managed the log fine as it was light but may have been an issue if it was heavier. Did find that the handles being close in was better as the handles on the one at results seem to be awfully wide.

Cheers Mark, yeah, pissed off with the farmers as it should be a good event for me, the overhead was pretty good but you're right enough that I lost quite a lot of time and points on the DB. The finger was really good, took a minute to get used to but not too heavy and good to get a shot of one.

First session back after the comp on Sunday, still pretty sore but thought I needed to just get back in the gym and get on with things. Giving the Coan Phillipi deadlift a try and see if I can get my raw deadlift up to the 250kg mark.

Deadlift:

187.5kg X 2

Speed Deadlift:

150kg X 6 sets of 3

Stiff Leg Deadlift:

150kg X 8

Bent Over Rows:

100kg X 2 sets of 8. One of these should have been pulldowns but our cable is broken so just doubled up on the rows. Took it quite easy on these as my traps and biceps were really sore from Sunday.

Good Mornings:

120kg X 8

Everything felt heavy but a decent session.

Cheers Ben hoping to make some good gains with it.

Bit of overhead work tonight.

Axle FTOH:

72kg X 5
82kg X 5
92kg X 5, still not feeling 100% recovered so just did the required reps and no more.

Log:

90kg X 5 Rep PB.
90kg X 3 sets of 3

Viking Press:

80kg X 4 sets of 6

Tried a bit of close grip bench but it just wasn't happening so called it a day there.

Another session of just doing enough to keep things ticking over, still decent enough.

Cheers Mark, I'm quite happy with 5 reps on the log, have probably been able to do it for a while now but always ended up going for the big singles tryin to get 105. Next up is to start repping with 100kg.
