Competed on sunday, s**tty performance to say the least

Weighed in at 102.5kg, would have preferred to be about 1kg heavier but my scales at home were a bit off so was playing it safe

Haven't updated log for a while as had a lot of time off from training due to a bunch of bugs/viruses/flu keeping me from training plus shoulder issues affecting being able to train

didn't feel 100% on Sunday but did what i could. very pissed off with how s**t i was, still managed to come 1st and qualify for the British. but not happy with the numbers i hit

Squats - Originally planned to open with 300kg but decided to change to 275kg a few weeks ago as my shoulder was hurting so much i was struggling to unrack anything over 280!

last warm up of 260 was a bit s**tty so decided to open with 260kg instead to be safe

SQ 1 - 260kg - f**king bar came off my back while setting up! - second time this has happened to me at divisional, not sure why as its never happened in training

SQ 2 - 260kg - failed on depth

SQ 3 - 260kg - good lift



Bench - originally planned to open with 200kg, how ever shirt was fitting a lot looser then normal and touched last warm up of 180kg fairly easy so lowered opener

BP 1 - 190kg - good lift - 1 red touch point was a bit low

BP 2 - 200kg - failed, lost line on way up, shirt didn't feel right possibly positioned it wrong

BP 3 - 200kg - failed - couple guys suggested pulling collar and sleeves back so it'd bring touch point up - this however i found didn't work for me at all - last couple inches had no support bar came down fast i had no control on it.



deadlifts - suit was a bit loose, no major issues with deadlifts though

DL 1 - 260kg - 3 whites, easy

DL 2 - 270kg - 3 whites, not too bad a lift, lil slow from mid point

DL 3 - 275kg - barely broke it from floor just didn't have anything left in tank





plans for the British are pretty simple

270kg squat
200kg bench
280kg deadlift

all numbers I've hit easily, shoulder is still pretty bad so not gonna push too hard as the British is only about 7-8 weeks away

gonna do the British more for the experience of competing at national level, then going to take the rest of the year away from competing to rehab shoulder and address technique issues and weaknesses

Main points i need to work on for the British are my squat set up and walk out,. squat depth and bench touch point

going to try and stay as close to 105kg BW as possible year round now, I'd gotten up to 120kg earlier this year and i don't think coming down in BW helped!

Good Luck mate,

I am doing the British on 9th of Sept, hoping for a good improvement my second ever comp only 93kg class under 20, been training about 1 year on 16th of Sept, so it's all good.

You want to try get a sports therapist massage Adam.

certainly worked wonders on me mate.

Good luck at the british mate

I don't lift unequipped so my next comp will be divisonal in april

I've been getting deep tissue massages on my back and hams and calves which have helped loosen me up, need to think about having shoulders done too
