Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Friday 5th July. Just 8 of us training tonight, no Gordon or Big Dave again and as for Frank, well he seems to have fallen of the edge of the planet. Weighed in at 113.60Kg. Deadlift. 2 x 5 x 70 5 x 120 3 x 150 1 x 170 1 x 190 1 x 200 1 x 210 2 x 195 3 x 185 4 x 175 5 x 165 No problems, felt like a good session.

All the benching felt good until this point then the arms turned to jelly on the 5th press. dropped the last set and called it a day.

Member 541, 4903 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Nice squatting Ian That's the highest you've been in a while isn't it?

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Your very observant Bill. I did 190 at last Augusts "All England" and 192.5 last July at the EM Masters, but it was the first 190 in the gym since March last year. 192.5 on Friday?

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Wednesday 10th July. Quiet again at the Farm, just 6 of us and Gordon junior. Weighed in at 112.95Kg. Spent most of the evening watching Forklift (on the internet) become "Best M3 Lifter" at the Europeans, despite falling short of his own high standards! Deadlift. 2 x 5 x 70 5 x 110 3 x 150 1 x 172.5 1 x 192.5 1 x 202.5 1 x 212.5 2 x 197.5 3 x 187.5 4 x 177.5 5 x 167.5 Happy with this session. Young James mirrored the sets up to the 212.5, after which he tweaked something so he did not bother with the hard work at the end! That said he's progressing well and if he listens to my advice he'll soon be leaving me behind. Bench. 20 x 20 10 x 60 5 x 80 5 x 100 3 x 105 2 x 110 2 x 115 2 x 112.5 3 x 107.5 5 x 100 Had to grind some of these out! The CTS is still an issue but the shoulder weakness only really manifests itself on the very last presses. Overall i'm happy with tonights work.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 12.07.2013 @ 19:42 PM by Finch Friday 12th July. Very quiet at the Farm tonight, just Red Pete, Pete the Chair, Gemma, Old James, Stewart, Mark and me! I think that's seven. Forklift is still in Luxembourg, Sharn is invisible, little Stuart's not been seen for about 4 weeks, big James has to perm hair on a Friday, Frank's disapeared, deadlift Dave and Benching Gordon were no show's. We need 10 people a night to break even so this week we made a loss of £30. Weighed in at 113.95Kg but I did have some breakfast and a large pasta for lunch! Squat. 10 x 20 5 x 70 5 x 110 3 x 132.5 1 x 152.5 1 x 172.5 1 x 182.5 1 x 192.5 1 x 180 2 x 170 3 x 160 5 x 142.5 The 192 felt heavy unracking and stepping back but the squat itself was okay. I made a mess of the 180 by leaning forward and had to fight it all the way up, otherwise no problems. Bench. 20 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 3 x 100 1 x 112.5 1 x 120 1 x 125 1 x 120 2 x 112.5 5 x 102.5 10 x 87.5 Felt like a good session. I've found that by taking 3 Ibrupofen about an hour before benching helps the CST and shoulder problems hugely.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Monday 15th July. Another quiet, hot & Sweaty evening at the Farm, weighed in at 113.9Kg. Forklift was back regailing us with conspiracy theories and stories of silly old people in Luxembourg. Gordon bencher and deadlift Dave both put in an appearance, as did Adi and his apprentice, Red Pete, stewart and me made up the rest. No big James tonight, he's probably tweaked something. No Frank or Sharn either (coincidence?). Deadlift. 2 x 5 x 70 5 x 110 3 x 150 1 x 170 1 x 190 1 x 205 1 x 215 2 x 200 3 x 190 4 x 180 5 x 170 No problems, felt like a good session. Bench. 20 x 20 10 x 60 5 x 80 5 x 95 3 x 5 x 102.5 5 x 97.5 8 x 90 Wanted 10x Usual elbow CTS problems but otherwise good. Progress is slow but steady. I was planning on doing the EM Masters in 2 weeks but the wife has decreed holidays come first so 1 more week of training, then two weeks off then two more weeks in the gym until the All England, not the best preparation but it's only a bit of fun!!!

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Wednesday 17th June. Just 7 at the Farm tonight. Weighed in at 113.95Kg. I went straight to the gym after driving 6 hours solid back from Glasgow! Had toast & coffee for breakfast! Squat. 10 x 20 5 x 70 Half Squat to Bench. 5 x 110 5 x 140 5 x 160 3 x 180 3 x 190 3 x 200 Had intended to follow this with singles at 205 and 210 however i noticed from my lifting diary that a treble half squat at 205 was a PB and with the 200's feeling comfortable went for it! 3 x 207.5 PB Every one a grind but they came up. 5 x 170 Satisfied! Bench. 20 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 3 x 100 3 x 105 2 x 110 2 x 115 2 x 112.5 3 x 107.5 6 x 100 Felt like a good session.

Member 541, 4903 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Excellent sessions recently Ian, you are ready to lift I think, weeks off or not.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Thanks Bill, whilst the shoulder and elbow are still not 100% it does feel good to be training without worrying about silly niggles. Hurrah for Ibrupofen!

the banter has started Member 4515, 594 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250 620.0 kgs @ 129.5kgs UnEq	Ian have you thought about doing some belt over rows or DB rows to balance the amount of benching your doing?
