197.5kgx5x5 puts you closer to 230 than 210 so that would explain the big difference. Just out of interest, what suit do you use?


It's down to the individual but I'd say 2TKx5x5 is more like a 250+ single (easily)Confused

Yeah, 250 would be wicked from 5x5 at 195. Any tips? I reckon if you are not gaining from a suit and wraps then a) the wraps are not tight enough. They should be so tight you are in pain and cant wait to get them off and b) the suit cant be tight enough. The suit I have was tight when I was a 90kg twiglet lifter and I am now over 100kgs. It needs to be very tight!

With the look of your numbers mate non I could give you

I think suited/ unsuited is a different ballgame and one doesnt always follow through to the other. I blizt Joe Bullock squatting raw but out comes the kit and I can just about make out his pert little bum on the horizon. Your raw squat resembles mine a little in that my 5RM is very close to my 1RM. As I recall I didnt attempt heavy singles for about 10 weeks after the last time I did 5x5's. Still a lot of building up to go mate. If equipped is the figure you're after upping carry on as you are. Your raw single isnt that relevent.

I agree with you there, at least we agree Phil's raw squat is probably quiye a bit higher than 210 - or it should be!

I agree with Phil about the equipment too - it has to be super tight, and (Andy) you've got to put the time in with the equipment to get the most out of it.

I lift(ed) in BWLA Phil. May do some more comps in the future but my focus is firmly on strongman training at the monent.

Its crazy all the equipment that has come in to powerlifting do you guys think? I lift equipped because I started out that way not knowing there was any other way. I carry on equipped because I have got used to it, lifting tons more weight than you really can feels good lol! It would be nice if there was no such thing as equipment and everyone lifted on a level playing field. One federation, no drugs, oops, Im dreaming again! Not that I have a problem with people taking gear, its just I reckon it dilutes the talent pool somewhat as there are more feds as a result ie there are probably lifters in bpc who if they had never taken gear then could probably win in drug free and vice versa.

Anyway, last nights training;

Powercleans
60 x 5
90 x 3
117.5 x 6 sets of 3 reps
Sivvy showed me how to do a proper clean where you squat under the bar as you catch it. I worked up to 90kg, when I increased the weight I got it halfway up and dumped it! So I reverted back to the way I normally do them. I will try and get a video up so you can criticise my technique.

Partial deadlifts from just below knee height all reps dead stops
180 x 6
265 x 3 sets of 6 reps

Weighted crunches
30 x 10
30 x 6

Weighted leg raises
10 x 15
10 x 12

Weighted side bends
65 x 9
65 x 6

Im doing bench today. I feel a tad chesty but well enough to train.
