Member 3850, 516 posts SQ 212.5, BP 157.5, DL 240610.0 kgs @ 76kgs UnEq | 11/12/13 Had food poisoning since Sunday so didn't eat anything till yesterday morning in which these last 2 days I've probably consumed a weeks worth of calories. Anyway wanted to work through some bench tonight to get ready for our club comp on Saturday. Paused bench Bar x lots 60x5 80x5 100x3 110x2 120x2 130x2 140x2 All were done with long pauses. Bench felt great tonight glad I did a run through as I was worried about my strength with the food poisoning so was very happy with how tonight went. | ||

Member 3850, 516 posts SQ 212.5, BP 157.5, DL 240610.0 kgs @ 76kgs UnEq | 14/12/13 Christmas club competition With me having food poisoning earlier this week I decided not too cut weight and instead tried to eat as much as possible in order to re-gain some strength. Weigh in wasn't till 1pm and it was nice to be able to have some breakfast for once. Weighed in at 76.5kg and then did some foam rolling and mobilty stuff whilst eating peanut butter and jam sandwiches. Squats Bar x 10 60x5 80x5 105x3 130x2 150x1 170x1 No problems with warm up all squats felt fast no pain in knee either. 1st lift 180kg good lift very easy 2nd lift 190kg good lift little stick at bottom but very fast 3rd lift 200kg fail. So close to this was coming up but ran out of steam. After squats my left quad cramped up really bad for some reason and Tony from our club had to rub deep heat in to get it too loosen off but this stopped me pushing through my legs on bench warm ups as it felt like it would cramp again. Bench press Bar x lots 60x5 80x5 105x3 115x2 125x2 All warm ups easy despite lack of leg drive 1st lift 130kg good lift really easy 2nd lift 140kg good lift still easy 3rd lift 147.5kg fail got it moving but stalled needed my legdrive. Deadlifts 70xlots 100x5 130x2 150x1 170x1 190x1 All very fast deadlifts feeling really good during warm up. 1st lift 205kg good lift flew up. 2nd lift 220kg good lift felt strong no sticking. 3rd lift 230kg fail. Got it too lockout but couldn't push my hips through this is the closest I've ever been to a deadlift with out getting it. Total : 550kg pb total. Very happy with how everything went none of my single lifts were pbs but all together gave me a pb total that's how I set my attempts up if I got all my 2nd lifts gives me a pb total and if I got all my 3rd lifts all would have been competition pbs and a massive pb total. I was also happy with how close I came to all my 3rd lifts bit more work and 600kg is mine. | ||

I would mate it'd be freshest lift too wouldn't it....then same with bench and dead's, you have a very good total if u get em just right...not taking anything away from what you have done though bud, but obviously more in tank! | ||

Member 3850, 516 posts SQ 212.5, BP 157.5, DL 240610.0 kgs @ 76kgs UnEq | Cheers mate yeah definitely getting more out of it now I'm used to ur reckon I'm good for a lot more in a tighter suit its still quite loose. An yeah not 100% decided yet but after a few conversations with coaches think I'm gonna move up take next year to slowly transition to 83. I'm struggling more and more every comp to stay at 74kg. | ||

Training, competing and life in general go better when you can eat decent quantities and not worry about having to cut down every few months. | ||
