Duncan said:Did you fail the benches or were they too low or not touch etc?..
They all touched, the first one my shoulder slipped a wee bit and i lose the line completely, the second one i cant remember what happened and the third one i touched about an inch above where i normally do, so it threw the weight off backwards towards the rack.
Quite bad luck tbh, i have hit it once in the gym fine and off ~1board a few times, and i got a 140 really close to touch in the warmup (apparently it actually touched but i didnt feel it at all) so went in for something i know i could press in it quite confident.

Sorry to hear about your comp, prob opened to close to your limit on the bench, well done on the squat and dead pb's though!
What now are you going back to Devon for good...how did your final exams go?

Yeah i now think i could get 145-150 to touch and it woulda been a little bit safer, but its all experiance and i am not really bothered about it now. The squat and deadlift went ok, but i got very little sleep the night before and it showed on the day.
Final exams are over, they went ok, i am in Devon now until i can find a job!
SuperSteel101 said:You gonna hit up some more shieko then? (Reason I ask is the benching looks very shiekoesque lol).
I just threw the shieko-ish bit at the end to add some volume after the main bit, i used varying grips for it all and it went quite well. It was all really easy apart from the triple where my tricep felt a bit strange on the third rep, i am sure it will be fine next week.

Alright toby? Nice benching and squats. Hope the triceps nothing serious. Mine wasnt serious but was very frustrating.

Last "free" day before i start my routine on saturday, decided to take my suit in for a bit of a mess around - probably not the smartest thing to do but it was fun anyway. did some light fast bench afterwards
Squats
1 x 5 20kg
1 x 5 60kg
1 x 5 100kg
1 x 3 120kg
1 x 3 140kg belt on
1 x 1 160kg straps down
1 x 1 180kg straps up, light knee wraps
1 x 1 200kg tighter knee wraps
Bench
1 x 10 20kg
1 x 5 40kg
1 x 5 60kg
5 x 3 80kg
1 x 15 70kg
1 x 15 60kg
finished off with some light front raises and weighed side bends, when i dropped a 20kg plate on my foot and smashed up 2 of my toes. hopefully the swelling will have gone down by sunday when i am squatting and deadlifing! (if not i will do it anyway)
Finally got the vid from the competition:

You'll need to be a bench specialist for a little while then haha. Session looked good despite the broken toes!

Squatting and deadlifting tomorrow man, its not that bad - and it will hopefully force me to keep the weight through my heels all the time!

My squat is normally fine now tbh, allthough i might have to be a little bit careful getting down to the bar for deadlifts...
