 Member 4098, 532 posts SQ 235, BP 150, DL 260645.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Hiya fellas, Im a new un to PL'ing, been at it about 10 weeks now and made some nice gains, come from a bodybuilding type background and tbh just fell out of love with it and straght into the arms of powerlifting, always took a great deal of interest and tbh never knew why Id given it a proper go. I train at home 90% of the time, Ive put no pressure on myself to compete, way I see it, is Im loving training and thats the most important aspect. Il log a few workouts from the past weeks to show kind of where I am, and pop some vids up (nothing special) Ive bought a shirt recently and squat suit/briefs but still training raw atm to get a good base, unofficial total is bang on 600kg at 90kg, my long term ambition is 750+ equipped tbh. had a de-load week after a good 10 weeks and now following (roughly) a westside 4 approach, for how long is anyones guess as im a f**ker for ending up going on feel....not always best...but im here to learn tbh. | ||

Member 4098, 532 posts SQ 235, BP 150, DL 260645.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | DE upper Speed bench 60 x 5 x 3 70 x 3 x 3 80 x 2 x 3 Rack lockouts to safety bar 80 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 5 110 x 5 Bor 110 x 5 120 x 6 120 x 5 Should have included shoulders but tbh even after a week off my right delt is still playing up, not a nice feeling, very niggly, defo holding progress on bench back, going to have to see doc i think when i get a day off. 1st time following the westside template (roughly) speed bench was kept to 40-50% of 1rpm like it should be. Will upload vids of top sets and post up. Oh and worked 18 hour y'day so was a bit f**ked lol | ||

Member 4098, 532 posts SQ 235, BP 150, DL 260645.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | will re-start this as changed routines around for the time being. Doing a routine Milsey sent me. Last weeks went like this, like to train every other day. Squats Warms ups 60 x 10 x 2 100 x 5 120 x 5 140 x 5 Worksets 152 x 2 x 6 set Bench 60 x 10 x 3 80 x 10 100 x 5 110 x 3 x 6 sets ---------------------------------------------------------------- squats...again! WU 60 x 10 x 2 100 x 5 120 x 5 Work Sets 152kg x 3 x 6 sets Reverse Hypers 3 sets failure Cable crunches 3 sets failure. Hips are agony, obviously quite weak, but every rep is under parallel, squatting 3 times a week is a nightmare but need to build raw strength from ground up, suprisingly last 2 sets flew up after I narrowed my stance slightly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ad to bring deadlift day forward and will do legs-chest again on monday now, working tomorrow plus on call so no chance of training, so didn't wanna go 2 days without....legs felt tired more than sore. warm up 60 x 10 x 2 100 x 5 140 x 5 worksets 180 x 3 reps x 6 sets Speed Pulls (all against doubled over green bands) 100 + bands x 2 x 3 sets 120 + bands x 2 x 3 sets 130 + bands x 2 x 3 sets done, bands were nearly ripping bar from my grip at top so pretty tight. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ and Todays training...21st? january.... squats and bench 60 x 10 100 x 5 120 x 5 work sets 152kg x 2 x 6 sets. All olympic style squats, ass to grass, 1st time squatting like this with that weight, felt good tbh. I noticed on last two sets last week it felt easier when my stance was closer, so tried them today and very happy with how its worked. bench 60 x 20 100 x 10 worksets 120 x 2 x 6 sets Again on worksets played with technique, elbows tucked as lowered on last two sets made it feel like 100kg not 120kg. Good session, enjoying the squatting too, hard graft and simple, not a band, box or anything in sight. | ||
