Pretty much the same as it was after I tried to add some weight last autumn and winter when I started to bulk weighing 97kg If I do lots of fitness work my Bodyweight goes to the top end of that range too which is odd | ||

 When I have enough cash, I get a deep tissue. Member 465, 11029 posts SQ 240, BP 175, DL 302.5717.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | How do you find the bands on the old joints mike? I find them very punishing Some good work going on. Ready for some pb's once the bands come off? | ||

Ready for some pb's once the bands come off? My lower back can get a bit worn and the tendinitis is quite painful... Which means at the top of the squat it can be most uncomfortable as I lock out There isn't much difference without the bands for me the way I use them but I am happy enough with the number... Plus a little bit more on the top They are just a variation and slight increased difficulty... I don't use them like others do But when I use bands my casual nature when unracking weights disappears and I am tight and focused from the start of the exercise instead of the start of the set I'm not far off pb territory on most things but never seem to want to do them... I appear to find more appealing targets both short and medium term Will make a note of a few 240kg and 250kg deadlift for three 225kg squat for three 150kg doubles on bench with bands 300kg 14.5" deadlift and 272.5kg for three There's a few off the top of my head mate... Being relatively occupied with works and going to fitness classes and doing awesome kettlebell lung busters I'm pretty patient and happy with the way things are going... Although I will concead I could be achieving faster strength improvements but in my defense I am making many small steps forward and very few back | ||

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | The assisted chin up/wide grip pull up set up using bands I am a fan of too... I can now train these and actually get some volume in and well as even do them as part of a circuit 5 assisted supinated chins 10 press ups 10 16kg kettlebell swings 5 rounds That'd be good | ||

I ain't overly bothered about 1rm pb's all the time. Prefer rep pb's or pb's for volume done etc. think it helps with longevity in the sport too, I'd be on the scrap heap otherwise. Keep up the good work mate! | ||

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | Don't get me wrong though if I thought a new PB was on the cards I wouldn't avoid it by any means... I just want to get stronger as appose to see how strong I am currently  Leave it with me though... That powerlifting total does need bumping up so thanks for reminding me | ||

Full mask or nasal and chin strap? Member 3254, 2485 posts | ... Looking at 250kg for three deadlifts, 225kg back squat triple and the bench 150kg double and triple without bands I'm pretty happy that I may have a new PB on the cards when and if I reach them goals (my bench pb is a close grip one which I don't do for the time being) | ||

 cant sing or dance = a powerlifter Member 1284, 1008 posts SQ 210, BP 180, DL 280670.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Jordan said: Cheers for that Mike. Im hugely inconsistent when it comes to getting conditioning into my weekly training and that circuit was a reminder of how little time it can take so I have no excuses in future lol A thank you from me also! I HATE conditioning! And while that perticular circuit was hard for me, it was also enjoyable, barely 5 minutes of my time too! | ||
