 Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Hoping to continue making progress with the hope of doing some u80kg/u90kg strongman comps next year, maybe even another powerlifting comp (did the bodypower expo push/pull in 2010). Need to keep improving my pressing and deadlift especially. Haven't really focused on deads recently and pushed squats hard. Now it's time to really push deadlifts and get them to a decent level. There is a few things I need to really work on: *Shoulder strength *Lower back strength *Cleans (technique is shocking) *Gain some god damn weight! I use the conjugated system for my pressing and a kind of weird bas***dised version for squats and deads. I am just starting to introduce extra/mini training sessions. I plan on heading over to Eddy Ellwood's gym every week/other week (depending on cash flow) to train some events. There are not many places in Teesside to train events (Think Ellwoods and a gym over in Darlington?) I will hopefully join everyone using technology and get a phone with a camera so I can start getting some video footage. | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Cutting through a thick metal pipe to make holes for handles has killed hands! Will be worth it when I have my own log to get plenty of practise in! | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | I didn't do my mini session/restoration session today as I was meant to be training at half 6 in the morning with another member of staff from the gym I work at. I just got a message saying they can't do it in the morning, which annoys me because I missed my mini session now. | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | I wasn't working today and had to drop some stuff off at my ex's house, which put me in a terrible mood. I decided to go to the gym a few hours before I was meant to meet a friend to put him through his paces. Max Effort Bench Day Bench vs 50kg of band tension 60kgx5 70kgx1 80kgx1 90kgx1 100kgx1 (pervious PB was 110kg -Mood took over- 120kgx1-PB-The SLOWEST lift of my life, must ahve taken a good 15secs from the chest to lock out! DB Incline 30kgx10 40kgx7-PB 30kgx8 One Arm Axle Row (Wedging one end under a db so it wouldn't move) 20kgx6 30kgx6 40kgx6 50kgx6-baseline PB DB Rear Delt Fly 22.5kgx2setsx10reps-PB EZ Bar Curls 4setsx10reps Rope Extensions 4setsx10reps This should have been me done and dusted, how ever....

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Shoulder is agony, couldn't bench 60kg without stupid amounts of pain, even with the bar, my shoulder hurt and wasn't stable at all. I left the gym after before bumping into one of the lads I work with, so ended up joining him in his arms session....Can honestly say, I felt like I achieved nothing. Going to have a week or two off pressing and see from there. Just keep hitting squats and deadlifts hard and what ever back work I can get away with. | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Deadlifts worked up to 190kgx1 Squats worked up to 190kgx3-PR Axle Rack Pulls a few sets nothing special I just keep finding myself arsing around in the gym. No motivation and not enjoying it. Spoke to a few people and they think I need something different to spark some motivation, to be honest I think they are right. Right now I am thinking of going one of two ways * Bill Starr's 5x5 and building some basic strength * DC training and build some muscle mass To be honest, I have no idea which I want to do. | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Didn't fancy doing DC today, I like certain aspects, but on the whole all I am doing is trying to avoid pain and not working on my glaring weaknesses (the fact I am weak). My shoulder is going to hurt what ever I do! Close Grip Bench 60kgx5 70kgx3 80kgx3 90kgx1 100kgx1 110kgx3-matches my PB, stopped because of shoulder pain, felt good for 5 -Put an old band around my elbows like a sling shot- 100kgx5-no pain!  120kgx2-felt great -band off and feet up- 80kgx2setsx5reps-this hurt, weight wasn't an issue Neautral Grip Pull Ups (Tried regular pull ups and they hurt my shoulder) bwx5 10kgx5 15kgx5 20kgx5 Rope Extensions 2setsx10reps I was tempted to throw in some face pulls and some light curls but couldn't be bothered after being in there since 6:15am to open up. | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Spent all of yesterday throwing up when got in from work. With no sleep and opening up at work decided to deadlift. 80kgx1 120kgx1 160kgx1 190kgx1 220kgx1 240kgxfail, started moving but I just didn't have the grunt to keep it going. I think on a decent bar (we have those thick, pointless bars)and with some food in my system, it will fall without too much difficulty. I need to get into a proper training plan and stop arsing about! I am going to attempt to eat something, a accomplishment that I haven't been able to do since about 9am yesterday! | ||

I don't feel too strong at the moment. I am ready to start chasing some bigger numbers and a higher bodyweight. I have some chains on the way (what they use to hold tanks down on the RAF planes) so that should be another fun toy! | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Been talking training with a friend of mine tonight and we were on about how big of an increase could be made in a short period of time just by not caring what you looked like and gaining a large amount of weight. Just cramming food, not caring if it's all healthy, not using any fancy products or other such things. This brought us onto the old thing about squats and milk, the 20rep squat program or the gomad diet or whatever else people have called it. So I decided I am going to see just how high I can get my bench and deadlift by increasing my bodyweight in 10 weeks, I will start by drinking 2ltrs of full fat (blue top, not that red topped white water crap) on top of my usual 4 meals and 2-4 snacks a day and increase it as and when possible. I will make note of any increase in milk/food ect I make, all while using no supplements or anything else. I will also note, how my body feels, weight gained each week, ect. I am doing this for no other reason than I am curious. I will start in the morning! | ||
