Project Rix Member 5192, 261 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | To the allrounders club this evening myself Sheridan wray and Tom Collins. Shezz steady session after the gbpf championships on Sunday. Tom put his bench shirt on and did his opener 185x2 for the up and coming worlds in Denver. My work Warm up 100x3-6(6) 100x3-6(6) 100x3-6(6) Got 6 on each set and paused the last rep on each set pleased with that. I think I have now got over the 100kg barrier it has just become a training weight for me  | ||

Project Rix Member 5192, 261 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Thanks Bill all going well at minute so yes I will be going for a jump in my pb shortly. My thoughts are finish following the candito program loosely. I'd rather do more benching than assistance ie ram work last night I had a go with a bench shirt. 125 would be nice!!. May do a mock meet at club in 2 weeks to see we're all my numbers are. Then another cycle of same sort of thing. Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the candito program its freshened things up for me | ||

Project Rix Member 5192, 261 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | To the fitness village today 2.30pm for a squat and dead lift session week 3 on the candito program Warm up then 150x3-6(3) 150x3-6(3) 150x3-6(5) Paused squat 130x3 130x3 3 second pause at bottom on each rep Deadlift 190x3-6(3) 190x3-6(3) 190x3-6(3) Steady session felt heavy today may be due to being back at work. The paused squats were good to finish off with The deads felt heavy. Will try and get a bench session in tomorrow on nights tonight.  | ||

Member 541, 5335 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Well done on getting that session done Andy. Probably best to save a bit for the end of the squats, though if you had energy for three sets of paused squats you must have had a fair bit left. | ||

Project Rix Member 5192, 261 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | Yes mate maybe. Training on my own today so also motivation could have been a factor Had to jump in with some guys on squat rack. So spent a while coaching after they saw me squating so deep. I'm sure you now the score So there was also a bit of disruption to my session. My RAM came so I'm eager to give that a go soon | ||

Member 541, 5335 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Very nice squatting and deadlifting Andy. How do you find the trap bar? I've never used one, is it easier or harder than straight bar? | ||

Project Rix Member 5192, 261 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 220522.5 kgs @ 104kgs UnEq | A lot easier mate starting position higher for a start and your arms by your side so you can lift a lot more I've lifted 235 for a single in past using a trap bar | ||
