Nice beltless work mate.


cheers Appetite. Heaviest I've been beltless, confident 250 is there. I feel Stiff legs have helped majorly, they will never be omitted from any future program i adopt! Do you do much beltless? if so, do you believe them to be of benefit? What's the difference between your beltless numbers and belted number's?

I don't do much beltless work mate but that is probably an oversight on my part.

How do you find your beltless work carries over to belted gains?

ah ok.
To be honest, this is the first time I've carried out any beltless work, so I'm in virgin territory. It's going to be interesting seeing the difference it makes. If its notable, it might well be worth giving it ago.....

HB Squat (Beltless): 150kg x 5 reps
Bench (Paused): 95kg x 3 reps x multiple sets
Deadlift (Beltless): 140kg x 3 reps x multiple sets

Notes:
My third/fourth session using 'weightlifting shoes' and I'm finding it hard to adapt. Strangely enough, I'm feeling off balance, at almost every position whilst squatting...

I'm thinking of competing March 8th, at the Northern Universities Push and Pull. With the aim of deadlifting 270kg, squatting 200kg+ and benching 120kg, resulting in at least a 590kg total. I will then have around 16 weeks until the British Junior championships, where I'll be aiming for a 275kg+ deadlift (and to be honest whatever I can on the squat and bench), with any luck this will see me into the lower levels of a 600kg+ total. There is then a further 10 weeks until the British Championships, where, hopefully, a 620kg+ total should be enough to secure a top two finish.

2am - Sprint Session:

40m sprints x 4

60m sprints x 2

80m sprints x 2

Notes: Struggling more than usual sleeping (I usually get between 5-6 hours), I enjoy sprinting, so I thought what better way to make my insomnia work for me?!

Crazy? I know. I think it's more the fact it's one of the only activities that tires me mentally, more than the actual physical aspect? Does that make any sense lol.

High Bar Squat (Beltless): 160kg x 1
130kg x 5

Bench: 60kg x 3 reps x numerous sets

Deadlift: 140kg x 3 reps x numerous sets.

Notes: Happy with the high bar squats. 160 didn't feel any heavier than the 155kg, last week. Always a good sign. Technique work for the Bench and Deadlift today.

I'm wondering once the belt is on, will the lockout speed become comparable to the off the floor speed.... I think the belt will be applied in around 5/6 weeks, so we shall see then!
Appetite, do you know the procedure for being selected for international competitions?

You would get an invite to join the GB squad. The selectors will have seen you at the brits and will know all about you.

I think they only tend to take 1 person from each weight/age category though and so to be the representative at junior 83 you may well have to out lift Owen Hubbard at some point.

Thanks for that mate Happy

Well, outlifting Owen Hubbard could take SOME time!
However, I'd imagine with his current total would he not be the senior representative, thus vacating the junior position?
I can't imagine him competing at both championships.

A 602kg+ Total, based on last years Junior worlds, would guarantee a top 7 finish. I'm confident I can bring such a total to the table. I'm also confident I could bring back a deadlift medal.

I think he could choose which category to lift in. I think he'll choose the junior as he has a good chance of bringing home the gold. If you get to the point where you could also make top 3 in the worlds it is not unheard of for them to send 2 guys in the same category. For example I think Tom Martin and Steve Manuel will both be going as senior 93s.
