Are you the guy who was struggling to push press 80kg a couple of months ago? You training has really come on and I think 200x6kg Deadlift may give you more than 220kg but I could be wrong Haha, yes that was me  I was pretty fatigued after my workset, from fresh I think I'd stand a better chance on 220.  | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Didn't get a lot of sleep last night due to the housemates coming back pissed and waking me at 3am! Bench: 57.5 kg x 8 70 kg x 5 85 kg x 5 97.5 kg x 5 (still easy) 115 kg x 2 (fail 3) Pretty dissapointing, I expected to have an easy triple on this. 100 kg x 5 (supposed to have done 8 but I left it at 5 as it was difficult) Squats: Sore legs still from when I went to circuit training at the uni on thursday! 70 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 110 kg x 5 125 kg x 5 (harder than it should be) 147.5 kg x 3 PB (a little easier than anticipated) 110 kg x 8 PB (Pretty fatigued at this point, knees bowing in etc) Pendlay: 50 kg x 5 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 2 (failed rep 3) 62.5 kg x 8 Continental Clean into Push Press: 50 kg x 3 70 kg x 2 85 kg x 3 PB 95 kg x 1 PB Farmers walks: First time doing these, I used the 50 kg DB's but they kept banging on my thighs and felt awkward, used chalk too. Pick up, walk ~10m, turn walk back, turn walk back, put down. Total distance in the set ~30 m Did this set twice. 100 kg x 5 Was supposed to do chins, dips and curls but was too tired! | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 08.10.2011 @ 15:55 PM by Terminator I'm going to be doing Mark Clegg's "Champions of the Future" comp in March 2012- am getting pretty excited already!I'm going to add a little conditioning and events work to my workouts from now on. The equipment at Southampton uni gym is a little limited for this unfortunately.. I shall be doing continental clean and press on an oly bar to mimic an axle. Farmers walk all I have access to are a couple of 50 kg DB's- hopefully I will be able to practically sprint with these in a few weeks. For cardio I think I will be going to circuit training at the uni every Thursday. If not then a few barbell complexes! I'll be aiming to be weighing 104 kg on the day of the contest, which means I can't gain more than ~3kg bodyweight in the next 5 months. And I will have to see about doing a couple of events sessions at StrengthTec before Christmas. Anyone else trained there? | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Bench Press: Deloaded bench today 50 kg x 8 62.5 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 87.5 kg x 5 100 kg x 7 (failed 8th) Not a great start when 8 is my PB Squat: 70 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 110 kg x 5 125 kg x 5 147.5 kg x 5 PB Tough, poor form in last 2 reps, but at least squat is still progressing Pendlay: 50 kg x 5 60 kg x 5 72.5 kg x 5 85 kg x 4 (failed rep 5) PB Floor to overhead via continetal clean: 50 kg x 3 70 kg x 2 87.5 kg x 3 PB 100 kg x Fail I had a bit of a mental block on 100, video to follow later.

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Pretty poor session today, sleep wasn't optimal, but not awful either. My body feels a bit tired so I'm going to take time off till Sunday. Will be deloading everything except my squat too. Also going to try and eat and sleep a little more. Strict Press: 40 kg x 5 50 kg x 5 65 kg x 5 80 kg x 3 = PB but harder than last week, didn't attempt rep 4 Push Press: 50 kg x 4 70 kg x 3 95 kg x 1 = PB (supposed to being doing this for 2 sets of 3, but on the way down I lost control and ended up dropping the bar. 97.5 kg x Fail 97.5 kg x Fail Wanted a new 1RM to feel better but it wasn't happening, second attempt was a little closer though. Squats: 70 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 110 kg x 5 110 kg x 5 Deadlifts: 70 kg x 8 120 kg x 5 160 kg x 4 205 kg x 3 (last rep hitched very slightly) I didn't attempt rep 4, looking back at it, I think it may have gone up. I think my belt was a little tight today and I wore headphones and my phone was digging into my leg distracting me. But I'm probably just making excuses  Time to deload now and keeping Madcow progressing.. | ||

 as crimson as my last victims underclothing..... Member 899, 11330 posts SQ 180, BP 132.5, DL 190502.5 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 14.10.2011 @ 21:48 PM by Wiegieboard That 97.5kg pp will fall soon. With tech comes ultimate glory. You'll nail it soon! Good luck I reckon your deads are well into PB taking territory too. They're good numbers too. | ||
