It's really cool to hear that! saw that you came in at 94.9kgs, how come? are you struggling to reach a full 100, ever tempted to do the 90's, only asking because I'm in between weight class as well. There's no way I'm going down to 90, that would be just too stupid. At 6ft I really ought to be getting into the 110s sooner or later. I swear I have gained fat and lost muscle over the last year - my waist is definitely bigger but I am actually lighter than at my last comp (94.9 as against 95.4). I will endeavour to put on a couple of quality kilos before the British. | ||

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | 30/4/07 Got some active recovery in today- Rower 20 mins at easy pace, 17-18spm (4400m) Then sauna and hydroptherapy for a bit. I have never felt so f**ked after a workout or competition before. Nothing hurt as such, not the slightest hint of any injury, but just f**ked. Could have done with a day of work today really. Will be getting back into it at the weekend though. | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10068 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | I think everything that's been said about that last pull is true, JT - and I have never shouted so hard in my life! Your attitude to this comp, in terms of your planning, your confidence on deads, your fearlessness, and the way you *attacked* the squats and deads was completely unlike what I've seen from you before. You were a different lifter, and definitely deserved to qualify. Impressed. | ||

You were a different lifter, and definitely deserved to qualify. Impressed. Thanks Rick. We each have our own style, I think. My idea of working hard in the gym is getting in a lot of volume, even if not a lot of it is near max or near failure. Squatting 8x5 three times a week, or sets of 10 in SLDL off block that feel like cardio. I like to reserve the all-out efforts and the psyching for competition. Added to which, my training had been going really well and had given me a lot of belief that I really had it in me. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10068 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Yeah, but I've seen you at comps several times - you were a different animal this time. Respect. | ||

Ah, OK - well, I'd like to think I always give everything in competition, but I guess at this one I just had that bit more confidence and impetus. Maybe should have gone for the 190 squat! | ||

 left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | aye man, i agree with rick on this one, but then again, maybe the sample amount is too low to draw conclusions! On the other hand, you would think that you get better in focusing, and getting into the right mindframe as you get more experienced with the comps as well? | ||

Tokar, are you saying that you dont get yourself fired up in training? Only if I'm going for a new PB single - which I don't do very often in training. In training I like to stick to weights that are challenging but manageable - I don't often attempt reps or weights I might not get. | ||

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | So - onwards to the Nationals. Four months of training to get in before then. I'm going to do the Korte 3x3 again as a kind of base before going on to the 5x3/3x2/2x1 stuff I used this time. I will make a couple of changes though - heavier weights in the volume period, and more volume in the intensity period. Plus one major change - do something else for bench press. There's three bench workouts a week on 3x3 - at the moment I'm thinking of something like: 1) DB Press 5x5 2) Incline Press 5x5 3) Close Grip Bench Press 5x5 and then overheads on the 4th (assistance) day as last time. So no competition style benching for 4 weeks at all. Any other suggestions are welcomed. | ||

 always lookIng for the extra UT2 work. Member 9, 18279 posts SQ 255, BP 167.5, DL 330752.5 kgs @ 103kgs Eq | Top comp on Sunday, got to be your best performance so far? I knew you had a big dead in you, got to be happy with a 15kg PB!? | ||
