 conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | haha then it counts! well squat was there or thereabouts, perhaps a tad easier would have been nice. bench was gash - it was tougher than in my comp from Nov! I was hoping to get 140...my bench is s**te. as for the deadlift - I was drained by that point and shouldnt have pulled to be fair, nicer tech would have been nice - and +5kg! i always perform much, much better on the day so fingers crossed...only a couple more weeks of training to go! | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | So yesterday was a looooooong day - I had a governors meeting after work, which didnt finish til after 7.30..so any hopes of getting a decent session in were long shot. Just got the main bits done - if I get chance, I will add the JM presses to Fridays session. Anyway, to the actual work - I will list out everything including warm up sets: Squats w/belt[x2 @9]: 70(x2), 100, 120 x2 *add belt* 150kg @7.5 170kg @8 180kg @8.5 185kg @9 175kg @8.5/9 Bench (touch and go) [x2 @9]: 70(x2), 90x2 110kg @7.5 125kg @8 130kg @8.5 132.5kg @9 125kg @8/8.5 And that was that, got some more important things on at the minute - mainly work for my MSc, so that needs to take priority for a couple of weeks! Luckily I am down to a peaking phase for the 3rd Feb..only 3 sessions a week - and I will keep the GPP stuff to the basics - 1/2 per week max. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | Good work. Yeah, surprised about your Bench. By all rights you should have a good Bench, you got stumpy arms and a big chest! | ||

By all rights you should have a good Bench, you got stumpy arms and a big chest! Ha! I will take that as a compliment! I might take Iain's idea - and yours I think, and try the a 'loosish' belt and see if that makes any difference! Probably give it a solid run after the comp | ||

Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | It is a compliment! The only thing that ever worked for me was just a hell of a lot of Benching done 3-4 or more times a week. Everything else just lead to maintenance. | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 09.01.2013 @ 19:54 PM by Adam_F Well I was rested..and made sure I had plenty of food before training - and I think it paid off, felt pretty good in the gym and numbers reflect that. I trained with 3 others today though, so didnt get everything in! Deadlift w/belt[x2 @9]: 220kg @8 230kg @8.5 235kg @8.5/9 220kg @8.5 Comp bench[x2 @9]: 115kg @7.5/8 125kg @8 130kg @8.5 132.5kg @9 Inc db[x7 @9]: 40kg @8 50kg @9 40kg @9 Pow! Couple of PBs! I have a sneaky feel that I could have ground out 240 for a double tonight, it would have been more than @9 so glad with my choice. My training partner also felt 135 was on the cards, but I doubt that. Anyway its a massive confidence boost - was really doubting myself after the tough work from Friday...will add the SSBs to Friday and drop the JMs from Monday altogether. Only minor point was the bar rolled in my hands and shredded it @ the 230, so straps on im afraid. With the bench, I decided to try the belt to see if it made a difference, seemed to help massively... | ||

conventional all the way ! Member 1980, 1201 posts SQ 217.5, BP 137.5, DL 255610.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq | Thanks Rico Here is one I prepared earlier  JohnGym said:Adam, I don't understand your annotations. What does [x4@9 mean]? lol you aren't the only one, so dont worry the example above is [reps / RPE scale] - in that case, 4 reps at an RPE of 9 (tough final rep, one more in the tank). basically, that is the aim for the top set of the day - so however much it takes to get there, I then do a drop off set where I take a certain % off the top set and keep working until I hit that same RPE to try and get the volume in. Make sense? | ||
