 Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Another crap session Missed a 145kg front squat. Strength is there but my technique fell apart. I spoke to a guy who works there (he is an utter monster with close to 30 years of experience too) and he told me to drop back, re-affirm my technique and come back in time to the bigger weights. He also told me to "stop f**king benching!" which made me chuckle | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Only had 20mins to train today. I was over at my friend's gym. Deadlifts 100kgx3 140kgx4 180kgx8-PB-felt good for 10-12 reps, just didn't see the point in going all out and knocking next weeks training back. DB Rows 50kgx10 Had to mess about with an adjustable DB for more 60kgx1-plates fell off and couldn't be bothered taping them on That was is. Short but got some work in | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Gym closed before Christmas and will be able to go back and train starting Monday. I really can't wait! I seem more easily agitated when I'm not training. I have some high goals for this year (high for me anyway) #Deadlift 300kg #Strict Press 100kg #Squat 230kg without knee wraps I'm not setting any real bench goals simply because, when ever I start pushing the bench, I screw up my shoulder. I will be using close grip paused bench as assistance to my strict press. | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | First session of 2013 and lost 7lb over Christmas! If this continues, I'll make anorexic teens look huge!  Standing Strict Press only worked up to 50kgx8-easy enough though form was terrible! Seated DB Press worked up to 30'sx8-again easy enough DB Lat Raises 17.5's for 3 sets 8/10/6 Machine Rear Delt Fly worked up to 3/4 of the stack for 15 reps I didn't have time for any extra tricep work as I had to come back home to get ready for work later this afternoon and eat | ||

Please call me Evan ................Eden is a typo Member 3189, 396 posts SQ 230, BP 150, DL 250630.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | At this moment in time, I am weaker than I have been for a while. Injury wise, everything is feeling pretty good. My time to train is limited by my shifts at work which isn't ideal. The problem at the moment is simply. I don't know what to train for. I don't know if I want to head back towards powerlifting or try my hand at u90kg strongman. All I know at the moment is, that I need to build a foundation and get back towards my best numbers. I think for a while I won't update my training log, simply because it's going to be boring reading and will only remind me of how much strength I have lost. I will hopefully be back posting in here in the near future. | ||

 403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq | Surely posting your numbers up will show your progress back to your old numbers. I put my current numbers up on my PB chart, which are embarrassingly low. As such, i'll have to kick my own ass to get my numbers back up to a respectable level. | ||

You may well have a point, but until I work out what I'm aiming for ect, then I see no point in my posting. I may have another crack at powerlifting or decide stones and logs look more fun. Then again, I've never been good at working out when to peak ect so I may become a youtube warrior lol | ||
