Good session this evening, between the bench video and the squats tonight, for the first time since I met them, I think I may well have impressed Stewart and Kevin so I'm definitely over the moon with that.

When a world record breaking deadlifter, and perhaps the most consistent guy I know (Stewart totalling over 600 3 times a week)tells you your doing well, you know something is going right.


1) Squats
W/U to 165x3
W/S 187.5x3, 192.5x3, 187.5x3 - The first couple were slipping about on my back so made it a bit tougher, but James assures me depth was still good, so definitely going to plan for the All England.

2) Hip Thrusts 5x10 @ 100

Damn fine squatting young man.
Now lose the ladies jogging bottoms and get some decent knee sleeves and 220 is on the cards.

Thanks Ian, much appreciated.

Yes I will have to look into the knee sleeves, I think I will need to invest in a new bar first though. Will keep the tights though, I don't fancy training in my leotard every week like Kev, so that just helps to give an accurate idea of depth.

You maybe right about the 220kg, although it wont be at the All England I wouldn't have thought, as at the least I want to get 200 on the board in competition as that's a pretty big milestone, so maybe something over 200 will be a third attempt all being well.

Hectic week this week, so only just got round to updating my log, had a quick deadlift session Tuesday, callouses just about held out, but I was running short on time so dropped the assistance.

1) Deadlifts
W/U to 200x2
W/S 6x1 @ 230, 6x2 @ 180

Then yesterday evening I squeezed in a quick bench session as follows:

1) NGP 25 reps

2) Bench
W/U to 70x5
Pause - 90, 105, 122.5 x 3, 3x1 @ 137.5 (Not the best pauses I have ever done, but they will do for now, at that weight I can live with the odd bad session) then 130 x 2
T&G 1x8 @ 107.5 (wasn't feeling that good so didn't bother with another couple sets)

3) Cable Rows 3x18 @ 50

Fairly average session at the farm this evening for myself, however, congratulations has to go to Big James, pulled a 250 deadlift! Not easy, but a solid lift! Would appear with my deadlift hitting a wall, I have lost ground to Mark and James, so I have work to do. Starting with hopefully getting a new bar in the next couple of weeks, the huge bend in mine is getting annoying, after nearly 4 years its served its time.

Anyway, session as follows

1) Squats
W/U to 155x3
W/S 175, 180, 175 x 3

2) Deadlifts
W/U to 190x3
W/S 3x3 @ 210 - Forms really a bit off lately, I find myself looking down etc. which doesn't contribute to the picturesque deadlift form I was producing just months ago.

Lastly Frank aka bonecrusher has been crowned as the strongest back in the gym winning the hex bar with around 303kg, topping that so I'm told he is engaged so congratulations there as well.

Definitely Malc, competition has pushed us all on. You will join the battle soon enough, Stewart is still the man in the lead, just, but the rest of us are coming for him.

So Horny is closing in on that double bodyweight deadlift.
I reckon he'll be at 280 before the end of the year.

If you want to keep up you'll need to make a few radical changes, perhaps it time to get a coach?







Ask Pete.

Could well be to be honest, I had better get planning 3x bodyweight...... I will leave the coach for now, I don't think I'm Petes type lol. I'm going to have to work harder on my deadlifts, as I'm fairly happy with progress on the other 2.

Hope the holiday is going well.

Sounds nice, will come back pretty tanned from that. Imagine you will have lost weight in the heat, or have you been eating tonnes lol?
