 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Wednesday 5th September, Adlington Coan bench, final week. Bench (all paused) 20x10, 70x6, 90x4, 100x1, 120x1, 127.5x1, 132.5x1, 140x1 PB, 145x1 PB, 150x0x2, 140x0, 110x6, (narrow grip) 110x4. Touch and go "speed" 72.5x3. The 140 and 145 were SO easy after, on the 127, Little A pointed out that I wasn't breathing at all properly. I'm almost certiain the first 150 would have gone if my hip flexor hadn't cramped up as I lowered it and kill my setup. After that I was pretty much out of gas for the heavy stuff. The 150s were not heavy in my hands or on the descent, with the improved breathing. This is key. Breathe in DEEP as you unrack, exhale, DEEP breath, BENCH. The 110 sets were all LONG pauses (called by Alan), then a little knackered speed work. I'm actually weakest off the chest. Speed work, then, and the reintroduction of seated DB press to build some shoulders. Power clean and press 50x3x2, 60x3, 70x3, 60x3. The first time I've ever put any non-trivial weight overhead from the floor. It's definitely fun, and I actually think it's easier to press 70 after a clean than to walk it out from the rack. I won't be doing overheads from the rack for a while, as I'm reintroducing seated shoulder work, and we'll press standing only what we clean. So, that takes me past 1200lbs to 550kg lifetime total, all with lifts done in the last few weeks. Kids, find a lifters' gym and get a coach. You know it makes sense. PS: there is much, much more to come. | ||

 For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Is there some kind of shrine one touches when you walk into Adders? Maybe a little ritual I can take away with me to bring back a little Adders magic to my barn? I follow almost all the logs on here and over the last month or so your totals have shot up! Good work! | ||
