Dirty little devil Member 138, 356 posts | Hi Fellas, Had a very difficult last year, had some personal issues that needed sorting out but I am now back and determined to do some damage. Been reading all the strongman stuff that Joni has been doing and am seriously jealous.. looks like alot of fun. So I have that as a medium term aim. Maybe if I can get my strength to a good level I will have a go at a first timers comp in a year. At the moment, I am a puny 83kg's and carrying some fat from all the beering I've been doing. It's been fun, but it's also time to get serious with training and more important aspects of life. I can say that I am now the skinniest and weakest I've been for a long time, but stronger mentally and wiser from my experiences over the last year. I've read Fazc's journal, and I like the way he trains, so I may try to emulate some of the stuff he does. Other than that, I want hypertrophy and a reasonable physique. 96kg's is my aim for this year... quite alot of weight to gain but I have been 93kg's in the past. I hope to come and train with those of you who I know in Manchester soon (before Xmas!). First deadlift session in almost a year... Deadlift, no belt, no chalk 60k 2x5 70k x3 90k x3 100k x3 120k x3 135k x1 145k x3, feels ok, need to drive through heels more. 105kgs x3 Deads off Plates, 90kgs x3 105kgsx3 120kgsx3 130kgsx3 100kgsx3 I'm not listing assistance because it bores me! Quite like the look of Olly's routine, so i'm going to try that. I'll follow that routine for 9 weeks, estimated pb of 190kg but really looking for 200kgs. Aims for September, Squat 145k x5 (belt) , Bench 100k , military press 75k Looking forward to getting back into it. | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | hey buddy, good to see you back in action! Blast from the past! Steady and with patience man, consistancy is the key in this game. You have some brutal ass strength hidden there and there is no reason why you wouldnt be back to your old totals fairly quickly. lol, seeing your post reminds me of the days when we were deadlifting around 170-180 and doing 135kg quarter squats thinking we were pretty strong  Awesome!REBIRTH OF A DINOSAUR!!!! | ||

Dirty little devil Member 138, 356 posts | I see getting VD and sex a bit like pollution and a factory... Lots of output (sex), lots of pollution (clap)..with the only way of stopping pollution totally being to stop output or to put measures in place that make output no fun (bagging up). | ||

Dirty little devil Member 138, 356 posts | Yes mate I did quite a lot of training, mainly muay thai but the whole thing pissed me off a bit, lots of gradings/bandings etc.. and some of the clubs seem to be in it for cash rather than the sport. I would like to try my hand at wrestling, think that would be fun. However, my first passion is strength, and will stay that way. I want to dabble in a little strongman if I can get to a sufficient size (95kg's or more). | ||

Dirty little devil Member 138, 356 posts | Ian, cheers mate, I have competed in the British Unequipped at U23 but had a poor performance, 185, 107.5 and 222.5 iirc. (My bests were 205, 115 and 227.5 at the time!) Subsequently lifted equipped and got, 225k, 130k, 235k, again below my best. Would like to have one or two more attempts at a powerlifting competition, would really love to crack a 600kg total unequipped in competition. Would probably mean, 220,130,250 respectively which I think is attainable if I can train consistently. I am training at various gyms atm, mainly bb'er gyms, but there is a good small powerlifting gym I used to train at, with good lads and I will return there once I feel ready. Where do you train Ian? I am planning on some upper body hypertrophy later, probs Flat dumbell bench Standing military press and some assistance. | ||
