Trapbar deadlift 80kg x 5 120kg x 5 160kg x 5 200kg x 5 215kg x 5 PB Left it there, felt pretty comfy still tbh Calf raises (every weight for a set of 10) 100kg 120kg 135kg 145kg 155kg Trapbar rows 80kg x 8 80kg x 8 90kg x 8 95kg x 8 Never done these before, really liked them Pull-ups BW x a few +10kg 3 sets of 6 Wanted to train some yoke today but rain stopped me :/ looks like I'll have to go into this comp without having trained yoke for 3-4 weeks, not ideal tbh | ||

Member 5964, 573 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 265665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Then today had a really good pressing session Push press Did a few strict warmup sets with the bar & 40kg 60kg x 4 70kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 2 100kg 3 sets of 3 First two sets were comfy, last one was tough but still really pleased Incline pause bench 60kg x 7 80kg x 5 90kg x 5 100kg x 5 100kg x 5 100kg x 4 - head wasn't in this set 100kg x 5 - better Floor press 60kg x 12 80kg x 10 95kg 2 sets of 8 Circus DB press 35kg x 2 each arm 45kg x 1 each arm 50kg x 1 each arm 55kg x 1 each arm - new PB left handed! 60kg x 2 fails with right 60kg x 1 with right - yes!! Really happy, the first two fails with 60kg were because I messed the clean up. Didn't get it set right on my shoulder so didn't even attempt the press. Was easy in the end, actually around 61.6kg as well if the collars are included  Did a few sets of forward hold with 15kg & 20kg, felt better than expected given I never train this movement Bent over rear delt flies 20kg's 3 sets of 8 Probably got a little carried away today, didn't plan on doing this much | ||

Wasn't the speediest of runs but managed it with no drops in 25 seconds, winner did it in 22. 6th place 20" Deadlift - 300kg reps No idea how this was going to go, didn't know if I'd even manage a single rep! Ended up getting in the zone and pulled it for 13 reps for 4th place. Over the moon with this Monster dumbbell press - 60kg for reps in 60 seconds This dumbbell was a lot bigger than what I was used to, and very awkward to control. Ended up failing the first three attempts, but finally managed to press it on the 4th. Think if I'd have practiced with this specific DB a bit more I would have been good for 3-5 reps, still happy to get 1 though. Didn't get good points, managed to beat a few guys who no repped it tho Forward hold - 22kg Got 18 seconds on this, no one managed it for much longer it was a pretty heavy forward hold. Think it got me 8th place Stone over yoke - 120kg Hadn't trained stones in a while, mostly because dealing with tacky is such a ball ache! Best I've done is 105kg x 3, came out and surprised myself with 120kg x 8 reps for joint 3rd! Really, really happy with today. New personal bests on every event and took 7th overall, a really nice mid table finish. Onwards to bigger and better things! | ||

Member 5964, 573 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 265665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Squat 60kg x 5 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 Add belt 140kg x 5 155kg 3 sets of 8 Lunges 60kg x 10 70kg x 8 80kg x 8 Lying leg curl 110lbs x 12 130lbs x 10 150lbs x 8 150lbs x 7 150lbs x 7 Calf raises on leg press machine 100kg 2 sets of 10 120kg x 10 140kg x 8 160kg x 6 175kg x 5 Back was still a little sore today from sunday, so didnt want to do anything too heavy. Plan was to work up to 155 on squats for 3 sets of 5, but it just felt too easy so did sets of 8 instead. Still left loads in the tank, really wanted to add some more weight today but i think i took the more sensible option. | ||

Member 5964, 573 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 265665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Also here's a funny little story I've been loaling about the past few days There's this bloke who comes in regularly at work who I talk to a bit about lifting. He claims he can curl 70kg Dumbbells for 200 reps each arm (although later said by 200 reps he meant 10 sets of 20), and that last year he did 4 hour of lifting followed by a 30km bike ride every single day, 365 days in a row. He also said he had got so big (despite never taking roids) that he looked stupid and could barely walk properly or put his arms to his sides (bearing in mind this dude is 5' 7" and about 80-85kg fairly chubby). Anyway he asked how my comp went last weekend and I told him I came 7th and showed him a video of the deadlift & dumbbell press. He laughed at the DB vid and said "you only did one rep?", I asked him how many he could do and he said "well I can can do 200 curls with 70kg and pressing is easier than curling, so I'd be able to do 300 reps" absolutely dead serious. I had to leave at this point because I was almost bursting out laughing in his face. Anyway apparently after I'd gone he started telling people that I was a skinny bas***d and he doesn't think I even lift weights, and that I'd photoshopped / edited the video or stuck my head on someone else's body  You can only laugh | ||
