No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Week 2 - Day 5 Clean and Jerk "for a laugh" bar x a few - immediately noticed how much move comfortable i was with the bar overhead. Probably the break from benching combined with...doing a fair bit of overhead. Anyway, was encouraged somewhat by this 40 60 80 100 110 120kg - very very easy. Of course it's 30kg under my PB, but last time I did C+J was a few weeks ago, when I did an awkward as fk dodgy 100kg. I think I will keep throwing a heavier one in each week and see what happens... Also, jerking with the same grip width as my clean, I used to jerk a lot wider as I have long arms. Squats - beltless bar 70 x 3 x 3 110 140 170 195 211kg x 5 211kg x 5 - ok, tired as fk now 211kg x 5 - even more tired, considering fking off the 4th set 211kg x 7 - Did some music and "hyping up" and fk me, that s**t really works! Bench bar x 10 x 3 sets 60 x 8 90 x 5 110kg x 5

I always listen to my own music on an mp3 player at competitions right before I lift, so I'm not affected by whatever st is playing. I read a study. It showed that fast/heavy/whatever music is no better than silence, but gay key 103 faggot music is actually worse than silence for lifting.

Member 331, 22298 posts SQ 185, BP 100, DL 230 515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq	Tom, with your stiff leg deadlifts, do you just unlock the knees or do you let them "give" a little bit? my natural inclination is for the knee to unlock a bit more and come a little forward when in that position, but if I force it to stay just about unlocked, it is much harder. Go with the latter? Like a couple of sets at 60kg and I was cramping kind of harder.

Their lifters have been known to lift to Britney Spears.

No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Week 2 Day 6 Squat Bar 70 120 165 195 220 235kg x 5 - PB, and quite comfy too 255kg x 1 - really easy, awesome form. Best I've squatted I reckon. If I wasn't following a plan, I'd have been tempted to go for 272.5. Bench Bar x 3 sets of 10 60 x 3 x 3 90 110 130 150 x 1, easy enough, even without trying to be explosive. Pec fine. 165 x 1 - slingshot 175 x 1 - slingshot 155 x 5 - slingshot Deadlift against red band 70 120 170 220 270 300 Fine..... band really makes a difference!

Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 425 1050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq	Week 3 - Day 5 Squat beltless volume bar 70 100 130 160 180 200 216kg x 5 - 80% 216kg x 5 216kg x 5 216kg x 5 Well....this got hard. Although none of the reps were in doubt, mentally it's a bit of a struggle for me and just ends up feeling a lot harder than it is. BUT here we are at the end of my 3 week block of whatever you want to call this. I will, starting in just over a week, repeat this with slightly heavier weights, finishing on 220kg for the same reps and sets...hopefully. Bench with slingshot bar 60 100 140 170 185kg x 1 140kg x 10 I estimate I get 15-17.5kg from the slingshot... I think if I get up to 200kg, I'll stand a chance at 180kg on the day in comp.
