470.0 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq		Very joey. Knurling is good, stiff so it doesn't flex, rings are in the right place so I can figure out where I should place my grip for this Sunday. Feels better on my back (especially for low bar).

470.0 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq		BW:72kg

Squat
Barx5,5
60x5
100x3
125x1,1,1

Paused Bench
Barx5,5
40x5
50x3
65x1,1,1

Used the power rack to bench off today, actually found it pretty good to use despite previous attempts. Might use it for most my benching from now on.

Final taper session done, 3 days of mobility, light activity like walking (live next to Richmond Park) perhaps if the weather isn't so bad.

GBPF South East Classics

Weighed in at 72kg

Squat
170kg Good Lift
180kg Failed
180kg Good Lift

Bench
90kg Good Lift
95kg Failed
95kg Good lift (although head was slightly off the bench but they didn't notice it lol)

Deadlift
190kg Good lift
200kg Failed
200kg Failed (not happy considering 190 was really easy)

Not entirely pleased with my results but its better than nothing. I have a lot to work on if I want to be considered a decent lifter. Such a weak mess lol.

Here's the vids of my good lifts:

620.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq		180 squat is decent, surely bench improving and you know you're better for more on deadlift. Don't be too disheartened! Always room for improvement!

560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq		Looking at yous sig, were those all PB's or equal PB's? If so, that wasn't such a bad comp wouldn't you say?

Cheers guys

The squat and bench was a comp pb but I've done them in training before, the deadlift was an equal comp pb but I've pulled about 15kg more in training which is why I was a little disappointed as I expected at leas 210 to come up. I've done 185x5 and 190x3 in training before this comp, although that was on a strength shop weightlifting bar, and that eleiko bar is super stiff.

Going to start changing some things for training, might compete in July if training goes well, if not then my next comp won't be until the British Classics in Oct.

552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq		Well fought squat, good bench and surprised you failed your 2nd and 3rd deads looking at your opener. Do you think it was technique or just fatigue?

Deadlifts felt more knackering than usual. Going to take a few sessions to get use to pulling on the same day as squats.

100x3
120x1
140x1
150x1



Here's a video of my 150. Funny thing is I've done 150 high bar without a belt for 5 back in September when I wasn't focusing on Powerlifting. I think low bar squatting has killed all those gainz lol.



Paused Bench
Barx5
40x5
60x5
70x5x5

Wasn't feeling particularly fresh coming into this session. Then again broken sleep and a 4am start will do that to you lol...
