We thought we trained hard at Sugden, but we wasted a lot of energy doing silly things sometimes and underestimated ourselves too.

Would that be all of you, and could you name names?
Plus we trained like cocks.
Cocks are hard

the set looked even easier in the vid than on the day, good work, one of the most deserved PBs in your "n * 5 = PB" log
Thanks guys. I have to say it didn't feel as easy as it looked there - or rather the last rep didn't.

I'm well impressed! Not just great numbers, but perfect form as well. It's almost as if you had a coach who knows his stuff.
Now do two things... get in a shirt, and get on the f**king platform. 
Very nice, Rick.
Soon you'll be pressing 3 plates-a-side and more for reps, which is what a lad your size should be doing.

I likes my benching, yes I does.
Friday 9th November, Adlington
Power clean + push press 50x2x2, 60x2, 70x2x so many I lost count (until Jeff told me to stop, basically).
Some of these sucked less than others.
Hang cleans 50x3x3.
As above.
Speed Bench 20x20, 70x3, 75x3, 80x3, 85x3, 90x3, 95x3, 100x3, 105x3, 110x3, 100x3, 90x3, 80x3, 70x3.
Tired now.

Monday 12th November, Adlington
Squat 20x5x4, 70x5x2, 115x3, 145x2, 160x1, 170x3 PB
Deadlift (in pounds) 132x5x2, 220x3, 300x3, 350x3, 400x3, 430x3 (roughly 195kg).
Made a proper pig's ear of much of the squatting today. Didn't take the 145 seriously, and so made it difficult, and on the 170 the video evidence will show that I never got my chest up for the last two reps (the first one was fine). The last one turned into a ME good morning. I'm such a cock.
Deadlifts went harder than I was planning, which is good.
Next week plan is for a double, not quite sure yet what. 170 or 175 look likely.

. That was my pb single at the start of the year... 
Good lifting that man! I didn't think your squats were nearly as bad as you suggested they were. I guess every little mistake feels magnified during the lift.
