 We all live as we chose. Member 5051, 866 posts SQ 157.5, BP 95, DL 220472.5 kgs @ 61.1kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 11.04.2015 @ 21:44 PM by MuscleDemon Nice going with the recent training Matthew. Your squat is looking particularly good. Lot of weight considering how difficult low box squats are. Glad to hear you are at Genesis. In the near future I will be turning up sometimes to join the strongmen for Saturday morning event training. The video you posted of your speed benching is set to private settings so we can't view it. | ||

Yes, quite a surprise how hard box squat is once you are starting from below parallel. Hopefully being new to this height of box will give me some good gains as I get used to it. | ||

Yeah, they increase your power and ability to grind out of the hole. Low box squats and low squatting in general consistently will mean you don't have to worry about hitting depth in contest. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3226 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | 14/4 Genesis Deadlift off low blocks ~10inch bar height off floor 60xloads,3x100,2x140,1x180, Straps on 2x210,2x240,2x260,2x280 Deficits - bar on toes low all overhand grip (no hook) 2x140,2x150,2x170,2x180 Pulldowns 6x6 Back wasn't 100% so extremely pleased how damn easy the 280 double was - think next week the bar will have a number beginning with 3 on it... Deficits were fast too - but very low from combination of slightly smaller than comp discs and a 1/2 inch mat adding to the height of platform there. | ||

Ah, that sucked. Try to join again next week. I would join as well sometime but I think changing the plates between my sets and the rest of you would take too much effort and time, haha.  | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3226 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | unfortunately contracting work is quite demanding atm and for next couple of weeks won't get the time to train mid afternoon or morning. It's a shame because I'd benefit immensely from being around more experienced and stronger lifters. | ||

CGBP is good for a fair bit more. squats felt ok | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3226 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | genesis, sans car tonight as I contract at bskyb - that'll be the sky bus crawl to acton via chiswick high street and then the snails pace piccadilly line to alperton. bet its still quicker than that giant car-park called 'the north circular'. | ||
