Just getting in two (preferably three) sessions a week on 'big' movements is paying off at the moment. And yeah, I'm particularly happy about my overhead improvements. But, I'm planning to improve much more yet - starting with the two goals listed under my journal.

I firmly believe most people can get stronger well into their forties, so go for it! It certainly seems to be a sport that suits older folks. Cheers for the encouragement.

Front Squats Warmups then... 120 kg x 2 120 kg x 2 120 kg x 2 Pendlay Rows Upto 125 kg x 3 Edit: I managed to hurt my left biceps with those rows. I'm icing the area now, hoping that there isn't too much damage.

I've only recently started with this sport but I love it. 01/11/13 Deadlifts 182.5 kg x 20 - quite comfortable, I think that I'll use 200 kg when I next aim for 20 reps. Split Jerks Light weights x lots Hopefully I'll get more training in next week.

It's my goal for 10. Do you remember your 100 rep set, with 140 was it? You were f**kED after that. FatPete did not approve when you walked outside into the freezing cold after, drenched in sweat, in just your t-shirt...

I'm not trying to play a 'hardman', yesterday's 20 reps were quite easy - I was surprised as I predicted that I'd feel like quitting after 15. I'm not that great with singles, doubles and triples but I have decent endurance on sets in the 10-20 range. I'm a bit embarrassed about the '100-rep set' as it was only 100 kg - unfortunately. You're right, I was completely fked from that - I was in very poor shape. I do remember that FatPete disapproved of 'something'. I'll trust you that you've remembered the correct reason. I'll get 200 kg x 20 on Youtube (and here) before the end of November.

Trump will get another four years Member 126, 16707 posts SQ 160, BP 110, DL 225 495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq	I remember being entertained by your 100x100 video! 200x20 would be cool.

I suppose that it was a bit amusing but, in hindsight, it was pretty poor as an 'achievement' - especially considering how tough I found it. WILLSAN said:200x20 would be cool. HOWEVER, I'd like to think that 200x20 would be half decent.

It's just increased my resolve to (partially) redeem myself; by completing 200 kg for 20. No touch and go reps, this time, either. I'm going to have a go on Wednesday. (In fact, I think that I'll watch that video immediately prior to the attempt.)
