 knock knock !! who's there ?? OLD SCHOOL SUGDEN Member 212, 11439 posts SQ 325, BP 212.5, DL 370907.5 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Sounds s**t ! Certainly not something you can enjoy as a lifter or spectator .. You say it's not the organisers fault, well someones to blame Wiggers . It's a common thing in BWLA comps - Just a lack of thought . On the plus side an increase in participation I'm all for done in the right way . Two day comp maybe . Anyway .... I'm glad your still lifting although I'm quite sure your capable of a couple more kgs than what you lifted. | ||

It was indeed poo!! You say it's not the organisers fault, well someones to blame Wiggers . It's a common thing in BWLA comps - Just a lack of thought . Not sure at what point they realised they had such a massive entry, but some forward planning wouldnt have gone amiss. Personally i would have split it into two groups, Novices in the morning and run in flights (like in PL) to run through it faster and avoid lifters follwing themselves, and would have had the more experienced (better standard) lifters lifting in the afternoon with a second weigh-in around noon. On the plus side an increase in participation I'm all for done in the right way . Two day comp maybe . The main reason I wouldnt criticise Ed and Paul too much, as any increase in participation in the sport has to be a good thing. Anyway .... I'm glad your still lifting although I'm quite sure your capable of a couple more kgs than what you lifted. More than capable of more kgs, should have done 105 snatchipoo at least, I'm just a dick. Have to cut myself some slack in that it is hard training on my Jack Jones, oh and I am a dick!! | ||

Would actually have been worse if i had got three nice snatches in, as i would have been even more p1ssed off having to take a token C&J and do a runner.. | ||

Not great, but a 135 clean on almost one leg isnt too bad I suppose  | ||

But just wanted to know, what have you found best for increasing squats/front squats/leg strength i.e. what routines etc? I'm an old timer like you, so take that into mind when/if you recommend something Hello mate, not been in here for a bit so only just seen this.. Best thing to increase your squats is plenty of squats I did the amended Russian squat routinewith some success, in amended for masters lifters in that you only squat twice a week instead of three. That may be worth a try. I've also found my own 3,2,1 routine has been pretty good for me. I build up to a top working weight for three sets of two, then drop it 10 or 15k for two sets of three and then down another 10 or 15k for one set of 5. And each week you push that top working weight up by 5k. Worked for me as i have issues with my knees so this gave plenty of volume without hammering the knees so much.. How old are you fella? | ||
