562.5 kgs @ 74kgs Eq		Chris - you looked pretty comfortable squatting in the supersuit for the first time. Looks like you have got a really good fit - not too tight, but tight enough. I think it will take a few goes for you to get a good, consistent depth when you put straps up and wraps on - but certainly no worries on tonight's session.

The centurion is a good suit for sumos - though putting on back to front sounds weird. I use my old centurion for deads, as its just a bit more stretched and I can get into a good starting position.

500.0 kgs @ 92.5kgs UnEq		Thanks Andy yeah I really liked using it tonight. It really didn't feel like it was changing my tech at all, when I put straps up im sure it will alter a wee bit but its something to get used to.
Next week im going to go heavier and try for a bigger number, just didn't want to push it too far in my first session in one. However, I am quite chuffed with how my 175 felt

ChrisBarr said:Yeah I compete is SP. I've done two comps now. Im gonna do the next comp on the 19th of June and then the juniors in october. I was going to do the unequipped in july but im on holiday for two weeks of it so two weeks to train for it would not be enough. I am looking forward to the june comp since my last comp was mediocre.


I had planned to do a push pull on 21st May but my exams finish on the 5th, so I would just be bumming around for like 2 weeks. Definitely do some more comps after the summer unless there are any BDFPA ones near me down south.

Cheers man, hopefully my bench will be much higher than what it is atm.

ME Squat 3/5/11
Warmup no suit
bar x lots x 4
40 x 5
60 x 5
80 x 3
100 x 3
130 x 1

Suit on straps down
140 x 2
160 x 2
180 x f - wasnt tight enough and wobbled in the hole
180 x 1
190 x 2 - Knee wraps on, felt good

Could have done more and got 200kg, but i was feeling tired and weak so decided to call it a day.

Sumo dl - suit on straps down, dont think it gives much tbh
70 x 3
120 x 1
150 x 1
170 x 1
190 x 1 - belt on. Belt on doesnt make much difference, however, if i had straps up i would not be able to go anywhere near the bar.

16kg Kettlebell
4 x 15 two handed swings
2 x 15 swings e/s
2 x 15 front squats.

Foam rolled.

Good session, eyes are f**ked and look like a zombie. Also forgot to take my cam in to record my session.

500.0 kgs @ 92.5kgs UnEq		ME Bench 5/5/11

Went in thinking i was going to go light due to a sore shoulder ive been experiencing since Sunday. So just decided to see how benching felt after a banded warm up etc.

Free Bench
Bar x lots
40 x lots
60 x 5
80 x 3
90 x 3
100 x 3
110 x 1
115 x 1 - PB!!! Eventually, felt really easy aswell. However, stopped here as i was pushed for time due to having to go back and study and also i didnt want to push my sore shoulder too far. Really chuffed with this though as i have been chasing it for properly ages! 120kg soon! Also double chuffed since i havent trained bench in over two weeks! So im glad i didnt lose strength!

Conditioning circuit to get my heart rate up etc.

Done as a circuit

Fat bar Clean and press - 40kg x 10
Pull up x 5
16kg KB swings x 10
Red band push ups x 10
farmers 26kg dbs x corridor and back

All repeated 5 times with little rest between sets. Got the sweat pouring and the HR up. Really chuffed with todays effort!

210 x f, pulled to my knees with straps up and just couldnt lock out.

210 x 1! talced my legs, and pulled PB!

Also i used Neil's bag method and the suit went into position properly where it should be, at this position, i reckon i could get much more out of my squats, however my upper legs are destroyed :P

Good session, gonna have severe DOMS though!
