 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10040 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | It's a Titan Fury NXG+, 56" (I'm about a 51" chest so it's not exactly tight by most standards  ). | ||

 Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq | I know you want to learn the shirt Rick but I think that if you touched with 140ish then its way to big. You might not want to go super tight but you want it tight enough so you get something out of it. | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Good stuff Rick, so much enthusiasm in your training at the minute, great to see. | ||

As much as it's marked my arms I think it must be giving me something . Rob - I am just loving it right now, and pretty much have been since I came to Adlington. It's awesome. | ||

 One Sexy MoFo Member 101, 2470 posts | Rick! Your squat and bench looked piss easy. Seriously, piss easy. What's it like deadlifting in a comp after 6 previous lifts? | ||

 MIA Member 7, 621 posts SQ 80, BP 45, DL 125250.0 kgs @ 55kgs UnEq | Great work on the first comp Rick Hell - your lifting has improved somewhat dramatically since the last time I saw you  | ||

What's it like deadlifting in a comp after 6 previous lifts? They were, though you can see the squat just falling off line. Once I got to the heavier ones that was enough to drop me in the hole. Of course that's the point of an opener - take a weight you can f**k up and still get. The bench... well, I've tripled it in the gym t&g, it should look like that! The next one up, the line and descent were fine but for some reason I tried to "push" it up rather than exploding off the chest. The deadlifts felt fine, but then I usually deadlift after squatting in training so I'm slightly used to it. For the third meet in a row, though, I had nothing in me for the third one. That may be mental, but I'm going to concentrate on nailing slightly more DL volume and see if that helps. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10040 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Friday 18th April, Adlington Slightly late start - 5:30 - and most people finishing up as I arrive. Power clean first from floor, rest from hang, start next set before breathing has got back to normal 20x5 20x10 40x5 50x5 60x5 70x5 70x5 70x5 70x5 70x5 missed the last one here, did it again from the floor. Tried hook grip on these, felt profoundly odd but I did notice the difference. The last few reps of the last set got kind of "army" as I lost my speed. Very hard work in a fitness way .Push press from racks for the first time! 20x5 moved my grip out a bit and hurray, sits comfortably on my collarbone 40x5 50x5 60x3 70x2 80 dumped without attempting press - the same old problem, could not get any air. Interesting. Speed Squats 20x5 20x5 70x5 115x2 roughly a minute to a minute and a half between sets 115x2 115x2 115x2 115x2 115x2 the last other trainer present goes 115x2 115x2 sweating again by now .Setting up by feel without looking down, then just looking down to check foot position. Was starting to get it right by the end. Speed Bench 20x20 70x3 starting each set when the minute hand points straight up 75x3 80x3 85x3 90x3 95x3 100x3 105x3 take an extra minute, then: 110x3 start a set every 90 seconds from here as I'm f**ked: 100x3 90x3 80x3 70x3. Benching can be cardio too .Very happy with this session: lots of work, most of it felt very good, under two hours from first set to last, absolutely shagged. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 210, BP 167.5, DL 260637.5 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq | Good volume there Rick! I want a 120 push press out of you! | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10040 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Thanks Ed, it is quite a lot of work but at least it's all pretty light . Jonny - so do I! The trouble is, I can't breathe when I walk the weight out of the racks, so it's very hard to press it (suggestions on how to fix this would be very welcome). I'm pretty sure I can't do them behind the neck, just don't have the shoulder flexibility. I don't seem to have problems breathing so much when I clean it from the floor, but then I'm limited by my cleans... | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Nice session! What is it that stops you from breathing? The bar on your collarbone? | ||

It seems to be. I don't know why. It's a problem with it in my hands or on my chest. It seems not to be a problem from the clean, but that may just be because I spend so much less time with it racked. | ||
