 the banter has started Member 4515, 594 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250620.0 kgs @ 129.5kgs UnEq | My first compertition the GBPF all England championship. Things couldn't have gone better. I was extremely nervous taking to the stage for the first time. Warm ups went better than expected. Then I hit nine out of nine lifts on the platform. Which included two personal bests and one equal personal best. Squat attempt 1. 170kg three white lights. Attempt 2. 175kg three white lights. Attempt 3. 185kg three white lights.. Bench attempt 1. 110kg three white lights. Attempt 2 115kg three white lights. attempt 3 122.5kg three white lights Deadlift attempt 1. 200kg three white lights. Attempt 2 215kg three white lights. Attempt 3 225kg three white lights Total 532.5kg, Believe I could have pulled a 230kg squat on the day and a 127.5kg bench press but will have to wait till my next outting. Now to cut some weight and look at getting down into the 120kg group. | ||

the banter has started Member 4515, 594 posts SQ 220, BP 150, DL 250620.0 kgs @ 129.5kgs UnEq | what a hard session for me. 1) Bench W/U to 60 x 5 Paused (long) 80 x 1, 90 x 1, 100 x 1, 110 x 1 Work Sets 5 x 5 @ 92.5 2) Overhead Press using football bar (neutral grip) 45 x 12, 50 x 10, 55 x 8, 60 x 6, 65 x 4, 70 x 2, 50 x 12 - Good solid volume. really struggle with overhead work so this was me working at my max on both strength and endurance 3) Inverted Rows 5 x 8 didn't hit every rep on each set but I can feel an improvement. 4) Pendlay Rows 5 x 5 @ 70 much more voloume than I have been doing but really enjoyed the session. | ||
