Member 5548, 415 posts SQ 270, BP 157.5, DL 310737.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 28.12.2014 @ 15:01 PM by edi86 Well after a week off still a bit run down from flu/bug going around here but need to get back into the swing so went to local puregym to do a max test. b/w no scales but visibly look like a malnourished teenager at the min, certainly below 85kg. squat bar, 60, 100, 130 then a 152.5 (PB) then a 160 (PB!) Bench bar, 60, 75, 100, 115 (equal PB) then a 117.5 - not counting this as spotter was touching the bar. Deadlift think ive been spoiled at my local gym as its all top quality eileko gear, this thing was like a scaffold pole! almost no grip and chunky too - plenty chalk seemed to help a little though so good training for grip! 70, 120, 165, belt on then 180, 190 then a 220 nice and smooth (PB!) Overall, very happy and surprised at PBs being in an unfamiliar gym with different gear and also feeling far from great.  | ||

Member 2376, 190 posts SQ 140, BP 100, DL 180420.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | Nice stuff again, in reply to your post no never been injured but lower back rounding in the deadlift makes me paranoid! | ||

Member 5548, 415 posts SQ 270, BP 157.5, DL 310737.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Cheers mate, yep I'm a bit paranoid too so really make a point of keeping tight at the bottom and setting my hips. I know my upper rounds a lot but have accepted this as long as my lower back is solid and tight. I would like to think that if it does round badly it would feel awkward when starting the lift? | ||

Member 5548, 415 posts SQ 270, BP 157.5, DL 310737.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | start of new week, not great start.. usual warm up then.. Squat bar, 60, 100, 130 then tried a 152.5; this was a fail don't know what happened but got about half way back up then just stopped moving, really ground it but bar would not budge. dropped bar onto rack, really pissed off with this as progress has been smooth until now. quick break then back into it. 3 x 5 at 125, no issues. Bench bar, 60, 80, 100 then a solid 110. followed by 3 x 90, bench felt strong today and feel a PB on its way. Deadlift. finished off session with quick sets of 3 at 115. a strange day, gutted about missing a lift really am, but strange because everything else flew up after wards. hopefully this was a one off. stretch off. | ||

Member 5548, 415 posts SQ 270, BP 157.5, DL 310737.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Well had a day off there after 2 hard sessions and felt fine, just in time for another day of gains! Usual warm up then.. Squat Bar, 60s, 100s, 140, 153 then 3 x 5 at 133, all good. Bench Bar, 60s, 80, 95 then 115 (equal pb!) Followed this by 3 x 5 at 100! Should have been 97.5 but shortage of small discs today so had to round up to 100. All fast and smooth, feel a long awaited pb approaching! Deadlift Finished session off with 6 x 3 sets of speed deadlifts. Really looking forward to setting some new PBs soon! | ||
