Be careful, this feels ominous. Work sets 220KgX1- Slow 230KgX1 - Still to slow 240kgXfail - What the fcuk? Not only failed but twisted my back quite badly. 240kgX1 - Ok but slow - should I knock this session on the head. IN HINDSIGHT YES! 240KgX1 - In the groove & much. much smoother. 220kgX3 - Balls, I was going for 5, it used to be so easy. Platform deadlift @ 3" - For speed off the floor 200KgX5. Use your head Bob, time to get out and take stock. As I type my lower back and left lat are aching and not in a good way. To be honest my back has been killing me for 18 months and I need professional help but I've just been to stubborn (or tight) to admit it. To add salt into the would the wife has just come back from ASDA with a neoprene back support and I'm to fat to wear it. "One size fits all" my arse. | ||

While I was deeply,deeply honoured to even be considered to represent Great Britain, I Know in my heart of hearts that that I'm just not good enough to be on the same stage as some of the competitors. As I've never been one to just to make up the numbers I've politely declined my invite. | ||

I understand your predicament Bob and i understand its probably your competitve streak thats stopping you from wanting to compete, but as you know Bob anything can happen on the day to any one powerlifter so you really could do better than you might think...So do us all a favour mate and get your arse in gear and do it you might see the results when its all over and think "bo***cks i would of done ok" | ||

This promotion lark is not all what it's cracked up to be. I must remember to be careful what I wish for lol. Had planned to use heavy boards at Peak Physique with Rob Thomas and Justin Hurley but it just wasn't to be tonight. Trained on my own at the cesspit. Decline press - Warmed up to 140kg for a single. Work sets - to a 2 board 150KgX3X10 To light but I was on my own in the gym so better than nothing. Decline tricep extensions 40KgX8X5 - This is a keeper Finished off with high rep L flyes. Home & straight to bed. | ||

Mind you I took an incredible amount of stick off the younger members of the gym who were going to have a wip round to buy me a rubber doll, but then again I don't suppose any of them will deadlifting 300Kg anytime soon! Top deadlifts - worked up to 200kg and felt really good. Work sets as follows: 300KgX1 300KgX1 300KgX1 300KgX1 300KgX1 340KgX1 So much for taking it easy then, I just can't resist that feeling of power you get from holding a heavy deadlift! | ||

I was trying to park in the gym car park and noticed a Brummie driver curseing is luck as he tried to deliver his stock of steel. From a distance It looked like european masters powerlifting champion John Mitchell. A quick shout proved that it was indeed the legend John Mitchell. Before I new it John had fotgotten his load and was in the gym spotting young Dax and I on a really good bench session Bench press , raw, all weights in kilos 20 x 20 60 x 5 all paused 100 x 5 all paused 120 x 3 all paused 130 x 3 all paused 145 x 3 wrist wraps on, 3 board out 150 x 5 paused 150 x 5 paused 160 x 4 160 x 4 160 x 5 Smith machine incline press 60 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 100 x 5 Ran out of time and had to leave to pick the kids up, but not before I wished John all the best fot the upcoming IPF world masters. I don't want to put the mockers on John but he will be very competitive at the worlds. That was my last session for a week. I'm off on holiday with the wife and kids and really looking forward to it. Porthcawl here we come! | ||

My cv fitnesses is woeful, nowhere near where it needs to be. I'm blowing right out of my backside. Finished with reverse flyes for high reps shoulders feeling good. Chewed the fat with Dax & Little Mike and received a well deserved bollocking for missing my appointment with the Physio. Finished off with some stretching and them home for tea. PS. It's quite sad to think that Mr. Nelson won't be casting his beady eye over my training log any more. I will miss that cantankerous old sod! | ||
