Excellent. 210 next time!
I have to say I am only used to squatting in a power rack or cage so I was a little hesitant squatting without pins. I know/hope you guys would have caught the bar but still I was a little nevous.
You 2 mate.


Sod that mate, stick with the reps, get 180 for a strong triple, 185, 190 etc. Don't worry to much about singling in the gym. Sigles test how strong you are, they don't really build strength.

Just a question, does Decathlon sell individual weight plates or just sets? I'd like to pick up some 1.25's if I can buy them in pairs (or even singly).


It's a bit of a bummer because they only sell 5kg, 10kg and 20kg Oly plates individually. To get the 1.25's and 2.15's, and 15kg's you have to buy the Olympic Set. Or you might be able to get the fitness department at Decathlon to order some 1.25's in as a spare part for the Olympic Set. I did this on multiple occasions for customers who wanted specific increments .

Just pop on the website choose the store and give them a call. ;-)

True. I suppose the 200kg was a mental block that I really wanted to smash. I'll go from 160x 5 then 170kg x 5 , 180kg x 5 etc. Then go for one big f**king max at a comp Grin

Morning all. Great to be back on Sugden!

Back to the weights. Been volume training for the last few months and shedding the fat too, so now ready to smash it up again.
First barbell workout in over a year so kept it modest and just wanted to get some solid sets in!

Down from 17 stone to 14 stone 10ish in the last couple months, and feel much better for it!

Great deadlifting session too! Need to get some barbell wrist wraps though. Grip not strong enough for doing reps with heavier than 140kg!

Think I've run my body into the ground a bit with my sessions and work too.
I have not included any Deload sessions, so I think my CNS has been battered quite hard!
Gonna rest couple of days. Maybe do a deload on sunday/monday!

My missus was the one to bring this up, so fair play to her!
