Chris Wong is looking strong Member 5207, 371 posts SQ 232.5, BP 130, DL 272.5635.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | Last week I got called up to the GB squat for the European classic championships in Estonia, over the moon! Looking forward to competing against the best in Europe, standard is ridiculous, and my bench is too s**t to be competitive, so my aim is to come top 5 in squat and/or deadlift, a medal would be lovely  Had a decent week of training but this is the first full week of training for the meet! Squats 65kgx5 105kgx5 125kgx3 all highball 145kgx1- low bar 165kgx1 belt and sleeves on.. 185kgx8x3 (80%)- these felt lovely, on point with tech, but got real fatigued towards set 6, this is the last week of higher volume work romanian deadlift 120kgx3x5 squat jump 30kg trap bar- 3x5 ham curl 3x8 superset leg press 3x8 @150kg | ||

Flights I saw were not 'that' expensive, but I still couldn't afford it atm. Plus I have my fingers crossed for Worlds as an M1. So best save the 'begging to relatives/credit card' for then! | ||

They're at awkward times and will make water loading a pain in the arse if I'm having to do that. the only direct flights I could see were from stanstead at 6am, so im going from brum on Tuesday at 8.50am, there is a stop for 2 hours but that will probably be nice to have a walk. This is my first time water cutting for a comp that's not early morning, do you change much for it or just move your timings forward? | ||

Chris Wong is looking strong Member 5207, 371 posts SQ 232.5, BP 130, DL 272.5635.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | Saturdays squat sess felt tired coming into this, and couldn't quite get into the groove 60kgx5 100kgx3 120kgx1 145kgx1 165kgx1 185kgx1 belt and sleeves on 205kgx1- came up ok but slower than previous lifts at this weight 220kgx1- was meant to be an 8rpe single, more like a 9 today. depth was good an tech held well just slower than would of liked deadlift 162kgx8x2 (60%)- moved ok db press 3x8 at 40kg- really tired at this point and didn't wanna push up to planned 45s ring row3x15 | ||

Chris Wong is looking strong Member 5207, 371 posts SQ 232.5, BP 130, DL 272.5635.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | Monday 01.02.16 Phase 2 of training- overload and intensity! Quarter squats from pins-concentric only 235kgx2 245kgx2 255kgx2 265kgx2x2 All felt ok, hardest part was finding the balance point Squats 120kgx1- just to get back to position 168kgx5 186kgx4 203.5kgx3, 180kgx4 197.5kgx3, 214kgx2 All felt great today and a world away from sat, found a really nice groove, focus was on trying to 'sit back' a little more rather than trying to stay upright. happy to hit 214kg for a double after a decent amount of work. Deadlift off blocks- 14 inch bar height 70kgx3 120kgx3 170kgx1 220kgx3x2 225kgx2x2- felt heavy and was under fatigue so didn't want to push it too much. Speed squats 116kgx5x2 (50%) moved well! | ||

I just move the timings forward. And if you're not early morning it means you've still got time to cut if you're over by a little bit. | ||
