Jrepp, my focus this time isn't on a raw peak really as about the time I would be peaking normally is the NWC bench - equipped - which is obviously my focus. I will peak to a single, but not with maximum intensity, if you see what I mean. I'd like to see an improvement on my current best, picking numbers is not a game I can play at this point  .So your after martins best equipped as well! | ||

His lock out is so good, you see. But trying to stay ahead for as long as possible might be a good little target for me.  | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10039 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Thanks for the kind words, gents, it is all much appreciated! Martin - I may have the lockout but I don't know if I have the stabilisers yet - hence all the board work! I think I should have a reasonable shot at 200+ in the 52 Katana, given how trivial it made the 180 I did in it... we'll see. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10039 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Adlington deserves all the credit for my improvement, hopefully it won't stop until I'm a half-decent lifter! My Z is an old (years and years) one that Phil gave me, but you can get 'em here: http://www.inzernet.com/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=02_ZSUIT | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10039 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Post Edited: 28.07.2008 @ 20:21 PM by Rick Monday 28th July, AdlingtonIt's hot, I have a cough, Alan gave me permission to do threes instead (and I decided not to) and none of this is an adequate excuse for a diabolical performance. Squat in the Z-suit 20x5 70x5 then straps up for 115x5 then belt and wraps for 145x5 175x5 hmmm 200x4 (pb, admittedly, since I've only done 200x1 before) and a fail. Dreadful dreadful set. 180x5 some measure of redemption, these were just right. Two big problems, both schoolboy errors: 1) I wasn't leading back with my shoulders out of the hole. Contributing to this: 2) I had my belt too loose, rather than ask anyone to help me get it set, until the dropdown set. This exacerbated my tendency to fall forwards, which in turn stops me digging in at the bottom. I'm such a useless f**king c**t. Jeff has video to prove it. Deadlift 70x3 110x3 170x1 190x1 210x3 PB a genuine PB here, a bit over my best double. Not too bad, though the last one was hard at the top. Platform pulls from kenneth 140x1 I just can't get down to this, I'm too fat. f**k it. So I'll still be on the fives next week. Halfwit. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10039 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Thanks Bryn, but I will continue to be cross about this until I make it right by doing the 200x5 properly (either on the 4th or the 11th). I must admit I'm looking forward for peaking off this squat buildup (both because I'm sick of fives and because I want to see what I can do) and then getting into a modern, tightish suit to build up for the NWC in December. | ||

 Hasn't always been a bench press specialist Member 44, 1907 posts SQ 252.5, BP 220, DL 210682.5 kgs @ 83kgs Eq | You didnt do too bad with your squats a little tentative on the final rep. But its good your pushing yourself and you should be getting more ambitious. | ||
