jimmyf said:works a treat mate for confidence under big weights, Ive been powerliting a year now, sad to say when i started i could do a balls out 140kg...badly....last week i did 500lbs for the 1st time at same bodyweight so a nice increase in under 12 months, I expect to see you hitting some big numbers in the coming months Scott.


P.s 140 to 227.5 is an awesome increase mate should be proud. Specially staying at the same weight.

Having to train at 7am all this week on my own due to work so not expecting much but we will see.

Paused Bench.

Bar x lots
60x5
80x5
105x5
120x3
130x3
135x2

82.5x10 for 5 sets

All reps done with long pause

Dip machine

85kgx10 for 5 sets

Very happy this morning bench is definitely moving. Was on my own so had to unrack and rack myself 130+135 there was definitely 1 or 2 reps extra but as I was on my own didn't risk it.

Keep getting tempted to go heavier but I'm sticking to the program and its definitely working hitting reps at 130+ paused now without really thinking about it.

Morning training again. Hard graft this morning but not a bad session.

Deadlifts

60xlots
100x5
140x5
160x5
180x7 pb I reckon felt good looked back at the video though an it was technically s**t.

Rack pulls ( just below knee )

220x1
250x1
275xf would of been a pb but my hips shot up and it was all back so I bailed could have pulled it through maybe but it felt all wrong so dropped it.

Good mornings (dead stop)

80x10 for 5 sets

Paused on pins then explode with the hips.

Decent session in places form is still terrible but only realised when I looked back at the video. I will try and upload to see what you guys think but not sure I can upload on my phone. Reckon I just need to get tighter at the bottom as my lower back seems to round like f**k as I start to pull, upper back however stays nice and tight.

My best with 180 is 5 reps. Only 2 reps difference. How come 2 extra reps means an extra 30kg on overall deadlift PB. That has upset me!

Haha don't know mate I've never been much of a rep merchant plus I reckon if I hadn't done 5x160 first and the fact it was 7am reckon I would have been good for 10 maybe.

170xf got a touch but shirt gave me nothing shirt felt completely different to last Friday.
Shirt off
140x1 paused happy with this felt easy even after all work previous

Just having a play about at the moment mate. But if the weights keep creeping up I might consider turning to the dark side. Raw will always be my priority though. If I don't have time for both I will always pick raw first.

Good stuff mate. Your suit looks really loose on your vid. With your raw squat you should be able to do 230kg plus with a tight suit

Yeah it is mate really loose I can get depth in it without any weight on the bar haha. Think I get more out of the wraps than the suit.
