For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | I know what you mean with the squats. I had to completely rethink my squats when I videoed them for the first time I couldn't believe they looked so rubbish; confirmed by the good folks here! Taking weight off the bar so I could start trying to nail form was not nice, but necessary I reckon. I'm still not back to where I used to be weight wise. I think if you're in this for the long run then now is the time to nail any problems you think you might have. I got lots of good advice from my journal but I found loads more on Hayden's journal cos he'd been through it too only a few month's before. Bon courage as they say over here! | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10977 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | friday 29/06/07 managed to finally get to the farm in Northampton today to train with some other powerlifters had a mixed session with some real high points and one real low point. was planning to just deadlift but when i arrived everyone was benching as well so in the spirit of joining in I decided to bench as well despite my dodgy shoulder twinging a bit ,didnt bench very well failed 100k and felt my shoulder starting to complain so stopped after that and went on to deadlift and some max attempts after which my shoulder was complaining a bit more ,by the time I got home its was really painful and this morning its really sore with little mobility and when I look in the mirror I look like quasimodo with one shoulder about 1" higher than the other . on a brighter note I did managed two new deadlift pb's and broke the 200k barrier which sounds Oh so mutch better than 185k although after having watched the video's the technique is absolutely shocking! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTzThkPKIBU 205k deadlift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ys2QvV-16Y 200k deadlift visiting the phyio next week and no deadlifting or benching ,would squatting monday wednesday and friday be too mutch I was thinking max effort squat monday ,speed squats wednesday and front squats friday? also may have to rethink the comp on the 21st and perhaps just do a token bench anyway early days yet I may wake up tomorrow and the shoulder may be better!!!! | ||

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | That 205 was easy mate, definitely more there. Your form wasn't that bad either - you didn't round your back; just try to focus on keeping a big chest and pushing through your heels next time - you seemed a bit eager to let your lower back take over. | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10977 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | squats today ,was going up to a double on my conservative opener for the competition as per the advice i was given but found I could only do 1 , squat confidence is at an all time low ,however last week I worked about 60 hours ate virtually nothing and didnt get enough sleep so i should'nt be suprised that I am as weak as piss this week! Squat bar x10 60k x3 80k x2 100kx2 105kx1 100kx1 100kx1 110kx1 110kx1 lots of sets trying to make sure I hit depth,i think I'm a bit borderline at the mo my knees seem to come forward too much making it very hard to hit depth might I be staring in the face of 3 reds on 3 squats? I dont think its a weight issue as I cant get any lower with just the bar! Dumbell curls for T bench 20k 10/10/10 weighted sit ups 10k /12 15k/10 20k 10 decided to start my own breakaway federation with 3 lifts comprising of half squats,barbellcurls and tricep kickbacks any squats lower than 4 inches above paralell will be immediately disqualified ,it will be compulsary to take your top off whilst doing the barbell curl and must be finished with a double bicep pose and the tricep kickbacks must be performed in front of a mirror whilst listening to wankey trance music! | ||
