Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240 575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	23/05/07: Bench: bar, 20 50kg, 20 90kg, 5 120kg, 3 130kg, 3 130kg, 3 130kg, 3 120kg, 3 120kg, 3 120kg, 3 Push Press: 40kg, 16 strict press 60kg, 3 70kg, 3 90kg, 3 90kg, 3 80kg, 3 80kg, 3 40kg, 16 strict press Powercleans: 40kg, 3 60kg, 3 70kg, 3 60kg, 3 60kg, 3 60kg, 3 60kg, 3 Bench felt bloody marvellous! Feel really strong and hopefully I can start sticking some more weight on the bar. Push press was fast enough, didn't go any higher tha 90kg as my lower back is still painful. Powercleans were fast but light. Having a sore lower back meant that I kept my core tighter and my back more vertical. Good techique but the lifts had no venom in them.

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240 575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	Cheers Rick. It felt good too. My arm seems to have totally healed now so maybe 132.5kg or 135kg for triples next week.

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255 585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	135 for triples has got to be good for a 150 single?

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240 575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	28/05/07: Squat: bar, 20 60kg, 10 100kg, 5 120kg, 3 130kg, 3 140kg, 3 150kg, 3 160kg, 3 140kg, 3 140kg, 3 Push Press: 40kg, 16 strict press 60kg, 6 strict press + 3 push press 70kg, 3 pp 80kg, 3 90kg, 3 100kg, 3 100kg, 3 80kg, 3 80kg, 3 40kg, 20 strict press Powercleans: 40kg, 3 60kg, 3 70kg, 3 80kg, 3 90kg, 3 100kg, 3 100kg, 3 70kg, 3 clean and press 70kg, 3 clean and press 70kg, 3 clean and press Snatch: 40kg, 3 40kg, 3 40kg, 3. overhead squat after each rep 40kg, 3. 3 overhead squats after each rep Bearing in mind my back still feels a little sore, I thought the squatting was excellent. Every set was really well controlled - difficult to explain but I sat into the bottom of the squat and didn't 'bounce' out of the hole useing the tightness in my hips. Push press felt lightning fast at 90kg and I knew I would get a triple at 100kg. 2 sets was a real result. Really enjoying these now. Powercleans were explosive. First time I have tripled 100kg here aswell. 2 sets of triples has me typing this as a very happy boy! Snatches and overhead squats were pretty crap I would think but I'd like to continue with them. I have a highland games competition soon and I hope to win the shotput. I came 2nd last year by 6cm so I have something to prove now. I'm bigger, stronger and faster than last year - what can go wrong???

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270 660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq	when is the highlands game comp mate? If you have a spare moment, can you open a thread about it in the comps section and put in the events and stuff - i know next to nothing about it and it would be really interesting to see how they are constructed. Your training is looking really strong mate, keep up the good work!

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240 575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	Cheers lads. Unfortunately its a corporate event the day before the 'real' event. I know very little about the highland games but I will go along and either take part or spectate and report back. I have always been interested in throwing and have tried on numerous occassions to find coaching in my area with no luck. Its no wonder all we can do on an international stage is f**king curling.

Didnt do too much after bench as I could feel my right shoulder grinding. Quite happy with the bench. Hopefully go for a max banch next week and hit a new pb! I reckon 150kg may be on the cards.

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	Very nice benching. LOTS of reps with the 20 and 60 there - do you find you feel much better for doing that?

Yet another dieter Member 66, 252 posts SQ 190, BP 145, DL 240 575.0 kgs @ 98kgs UnEq	Due to my recent shoulder issues I feel the extra warm up with the light weights reduces my chances of injury. Dunno if its ideal but it seems to be doing the trick!

No energy and a bit ill. I'm taking a week off next week after I try a bench max...... watch this space.
