For the record Bench - raw 100x3 100x3 120x3 140x3 - Shoulder feels numb 3 board Shirt on 180x1 - Painful 180x1 - Ouch 180x1 180x1 190x1 - Best of the lot and almost pain free. I don't think this old bod can take two heavy bench sessions per week. I need to revamp my statagey for the masters. | ||

Numerous hot spots found in the shoulders and lower back. Feeling considerably looser now and it hasn't cost me the usual £25 with a physical therapist either! | ||

not old ..... experienced. Member 170, 517 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 270720.0 kgs @ 125kgs Eq | No training partners and nobody in the gym with a f**king clue concerning how to spot someone in a shirt. To cap it all some clueless roid head has broken the power rack so that even pin presses are out of the question. Decline press - Raw 60x3 60x3 60x3 100x3 140x1 140x5 150x1 150x2 160x1 160x1 170x - Use your head Bob Jacks only 13 you could be in trouble leave it 160x1 160x1 What can I say other than how the fcuk can you train for a competition without competent training partners. On the plus side I can confidently say that my youngest will make a very, very good strongman if he keeps up his current rate of progress. He's a very determined young man and makes his dad feel really proud. | ||

How can you fail with a weight 70 kg below your personal best? Seriously need to reevaluate my training strategy. | ||

 Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 18467 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq | Your head's f**ked Bob, you need to get your mind right, easier said than done, just soldier on, week after week, time after time, it will all come right in the end. Try to keep a cheerful approach to it all, it's hard when nowt's going right, but try. It is all in your head. You've done it all a million times, you know exactly how it is done, you just can't do it. Be strong and be positive, you are better than you think. | ||

Shirt on (with the aid of young Jack) 200x6 - shirt still gives you something even when the range of motion is very limited. Decided to increase the range of motion to the equvialent of a 3 board. 180x? - Can't get in the power posistion. Bar moving to near my belly according to Jack. 180x5 - Bingo the sweet spot on this shirt is very high about an inch above the nipple region. I'm pressing like a bodybuilder with the elbows quite flared and straightup but who cares the dammed bar is going up and quite easily. Hurah, A good session at last. | ||
