Close grip bench press 137.5 X 3 Squats 192.5 X 3 (or is it 195 X 3?)...now 190 X 6 Squats 210 X 1....now 220 X 1 Deadlift 232.5 (sans straps)....now 245 Farmer's walk with DBs 40kg 25 s ....sucks....now 90kg for 22m Push Press 115....unchanged Military 105....unchanged Clean 115....now 117.5 Curl 67.5 X 3 (crap form) Update Dec 08 Push Press 107.5 X 2 Military 70 X 12 Bench 152.5 X 6 or 140 X 9 Front squats 140 X 3 Low beltlessbox squats 180 X 2 Update Apr 09 Military Press 70 X 14 Deads 227.5 X 4, 212.5 X 6 Update Jul 09 Front squats 170 X 1 Deads 227.5 X 5 Squats 182.5 X 8 Monday 7th This workout didn't go according to plan, for two reasons. Firstly, I started testing my grip strength on deadlifts, to see how this was progressing now that straps are banished and got carried away. Secondly, my workout was interrupted by an ugly man who wanted help moving a photocopier. This turned out to be the world's heaviest photocopier, constructed out of lead and osmium, and it took five of us to shift it. After doing that I hadn't got time for the pressing. If he comes in again, I'm going to hide, or pretend I'm German. Anyway: Squats: 145 X 8, 8 (v. good depth) Deadlifts: double overhand 130 X 1, 140 X 1 alternate grip 150 X 1, 160 X 1 alternate grip + chalk 170 X1, 180 X 1, 190 X 1 Chins (shoulder blades retracted, chest to bar) 4,4,4,4 I'm really heartened by the deadlifts, because I feel I could have got another 10-15kg without my grip giving out. It's better than I had hoped for. I could hardly hold onto the 160kg, so for me, chalk gives me a minimum of 30kg extra and possible much more. | ||

Weak training is still training. Member 63, 260 posts SQ 135, BP 110, DL 195440.0 kgs @ 78kgs UnEq | Lol why did he pick you? was it a case of you were the biggest in the gym and he thought you must love to lift things? I think that genetic knee condition is found in the sugden centre too, its called curtsy squat-itus here  Good luck with your training. | ||

It's because I have "Sucker, ready to exploit" tatooed on my forehead. Curtsy squat-itus, that's the one. Very good.  | ||

fighting woo with woo Member 206, 1491 posts SQ 227.5, BP 165, DL 260652.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Thursday 10th. This seemed to take forever. I've been squatting three times a week for the past five weeks or so and gone from 170 X 5 to 185 X 5. ut I think I'm starting to top out on this - I was struggling to get five. Also, my hips are starting to suffer (in terms of pain, rather than appearance). Still managed to go very deep, however. Squats - worked up to 185 X 5 Bench Press (paused) 130 X 2,2,2,2,2 Seated military Press (80 degree incline on Smith): 110 X 4,4,4,4 Face pulls "12" X 9,9,9 Farmer's walk with embarrassingly small DBs | ||

Missed out seated DB press today as I can only just clean the 40s by myself and there was no one there capable of lifting one up for me. I could have asked the gym manager, but seeing as I don't have a pair of breasts, he is reluctant to expend any energy helping me. Hips and ankles are now definitely suffering from squatting three times a week. I think I need some squatting shoes. Squats 187.5 X 2,2,2,2,2 Seated hammer curls 25s X 8,7,6 Lying DB tricep extensions 20s X 8,8,8 Static hold with bar 4 sets Pinch grip lifting 1 set HEX DB hold 1 set. Here's a vid of the third set of squats - I'm not quite getting the depth that I was at 170-180, but I think it's OK. Any pointers welcome. Can I point out that I look like a fat bas***d for, er, some other reason other than me actually being a fat bas***d. Honest. | ||

Rob, it felt like my slightly lighter ones were deeper, but I don't know for sure as I'm only going on 'feel'. I've never seen myself squatting before today other than in a mirror. | ||

Yeah, I have to be very cautious about squatting near-maximal weights. I try to avoid any loads that I'm not 99.9% confident with. There usually isn't anyone around who can spot me effectively and some days there just isn't anyone within earshot. The perils of training in a commercial gym with a mixed clientele | ||

Hope you will find some people though, i think there are strength focused folk in all crappy gyms, just hiding... waiting... Actually thats how this sugden thing started as well, bunch of us were training in a s**tty university gym and started training together. | ||
