Tchah, I wish. Did 180 not long ago and it has been going well since then - but I never like to make predictions with the squat. I am hoping for 185 at the NW Unequipped.

Nice work on the benching mate.

We seem to have quite differing ideas of what squats transfer to in singles if you "want to" get 160 triples and are not totally sure you will do by the sound of it!? Surely 180 is at least 160 and more like 165 for a triple? Whats your take on it?

By the way, one last thing, who the hell is Phil?


165 for a triple maybe. I'm thinking 160 for five triples though. I'm not saying I think I won't get it; I think I will - but you never know (or at least I never know) how you're going to perform from day to day.

training looking good at the moment mate - have yu got any max's planned befor the comp or are you gonna let fly at the comp ?


No maxes, no. Came close today with the 135 bench - that'll do for now. Looking at at least 175 in squat on Monday and 230 in deadlift on Tuesday and then it'll be heavy but not near maxes for a week before starting to taper.

That's excellent benching. Have you experimented with a press command yet?

I don't think I know who "phil" is either.

I did some experimenting with a press command a while back, but only on triples at 112.5. I think it will make a considerable difference actually, so I probably should do some more.

Phil is the very tall (about 6'6") and big guy who used to train at the Sugden centre but defected to Total Fitness. He's an architect. You'd know him if you saw him.

Does he play basketball? Grey hair? Otherwise I don't know who he could be.

He doesn't have grey hair and as far as I know he doesn't play basketball. He's mates with that dark haired bloke whose name I always forget who still trains at Sugden (Tony?).

If he's the guy who benched 140 for 5 or something like that, yeah, I know who you mean. Otherwise I don't Happy.

He might have done; I'm sure he does more than that now. He told me he'd done 180x3 on decline the other week. (He weighs about 19 stone.)

6/4/07

Clean & Press (1+x)
40x5, 50x3, 60x2, 67.5x1, 75x1, 77.5x1, 75x1

Barbell Row
70x3, 90x3x2, 110x3x2, 125x3x5

Close Grip Bench Press
60x10, 80x5, 90x10x3

SLDL off block
6010, 100x10, 120x10, 135x10

Pleased with this. I did my 240 DL off a 140x10 sitff-leg from blocks, so if I can get 145-150 for 10 that should stand me in good stead. It was damn hard but it's more the cardivascular demands that get you than the strength aspect.

9/4/07

Had a couple of days in Milan, reminding myself to eat all the time so as not to lose weight, then trained in London this afternoon -

Squat
60x5, 80x3, 100x3, 120x3, 140x2, 155x1, 165x1, 175x1, 185x1 PB

Bench Press
60x3, 80x3, 95x3, 107.5x2x8

DB OH Press
34sx3x3

Pulldown
119x 8, 8, 7

I have to admit when Boar asked if I was planning any maxes I said no but I did secretly fancy having a go at a 400lb squat - but 175 for singles was the plan if it didn't feel on. In the end it was actually easier than the 180 a month ago.

Good squat! Seems like a lot of SB folks are breaking squat PBs at the moment!

Great stuff, man. It's a huge milestone.

edit: even bigger milestone! Just realised, that's the 400/300/500 vanquished at last - you're only the second of us who started off at Sugden to do it! Nice.
