The gym had officially closed 5 minutes previously so I rolled the dice and went for broke. I need to get 100kg overhead...going fecking insane thinking about it. No training tomorrow alas. Lifted 3 days in a row now and there's no way I'm missing the Utd match. Think me and Adam are training Wednesday evening though. Shall probably go for another ill-advised push press PB attempt then.  | ||

The Original Power Belly Member 544, 357 posts SQ 170, BP 115, DL 210495.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | I'll text him to confirm but I think he's off work today and tomorrow. He usually gets in at 6ish I think? I finish work at 7.30 so I'll be there at 8, but I suspect you'll have long since disappeared into the sunset by then? | ||

The Original Power Belly Member 544, 357 posts SQ 170, BP 115, DL 210495.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Wednesday 25 February Front Squat: bar x 8 60 x 5 (I think) 80x3 100x2 110x1 120x1 130x1 135x1 PB Deadlift: 100x2 140x2 160x1 180x1 Close Grip Bench Press; 40x5 60x5 75x3 85x2 100x2 PB Bench Press: up to 100x1 A sadly all too rare evening session with Adam, who front squated 130kg for many triples very easily. Happy as a pig in s**te to bag a front squat PB. Falling forward on these alot now and felt like I wasn't putting everything into it but it wasn't a particularly hard rep. Foaming at the mouth for 140kg on these now and it mightn't be too far away. Deadlifts were marginally better than Sunday's but still s**te. Called it quits after a poor rep at 180kg. Everything about my deadlift needs an overhaul but squats are the priority for now. Close grip bench feels great and is going to be hammered for all its worth now. Can't believe how easy and smooth 100kg felt. Need to aim alot higher on these and consign my gimpery on bench to history. Normal bench was just an afterthought to see how it felt. Great session. | ||

The Original Power Belly Member 544, 357 posts SQ 170, BP 115, DL 210495.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thanks chaps. Tantalisingly close to some milestone Pbs at the moment, namely 3 plates a side front squat and 100kg overhead. Going to train push press and close grip bench tomorrow, then either fronties or back squats on Saturday. | ||

The Original Power Belly Member 544, 357 posts SQ 170, BP 115, DL 210495.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Friday 27 February Clean and Push Press: up to 60 for several singles and 70 for a few singles. Into the now vacant rack for: Push Press: 60x2 70x2 70x1 80x1 80x1 85xf 85x1 92.5 failed about 3 times Standing Dumbell Strict Press: 27.5s x 3 x5 Close Grip Bench Press: 75x2x5 Ran out of time at this point. s**te session. First time power cleaning in well over a month, but they were mercifully easy as they should have been at that weight. Push presses were the worst they've been for nearly a month, hence the fannying about on 60kg. Dumbell presses were harder than expected and even the close grips were sluggish. One of those days, I'll not read into it too much. That said, I am brutally inconsistent from session to session and its partly due to never addressing my weaknesses, principally upper back, lower back and abs. As of tomorrow, going to add in rows and/or pull ups once or twice a week, and a few wanky higher rep exercises at least once a week. Face pulls, reverse hypers and ab wheel probably. Part of me is dying inside at the prospect of waiting around at the cable machine to do fecking face pulls, but these weaknesses are holding everything back and I don't think just hammering away on squats and presses is quite cutting it for me at the moment. | ||

The Original Power Belly Member 544, 357 posts SQ 170, BP 115, DL 210495.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | In again tomorrow. Supposed to be there for 10 in the morning to meet Adam but will likely be more like 11. Can't train Sunday unfortunately as I've got dissertation related s**te to do. What days and times are you training at the moment? Push press tips would be great. Badly want to get my overhead to 100kg+. 90kg on a good day is woeful given the amount of time I've spent doing overhead work. | ||
