I agree!
In regards to the Olympic lifts, it might be worthwhile increasing the volume masssively though. Obviously, you're far stronger than the lifts you are currently doing so any issues presenting themselves are going to be purely related to technique, not lack of strength. The best way to improve technique is repetition, repetition, repetition.
Don't think it'll take long for you to get to a 100kg snatch and 130kg clean and jerk.



This wasn't kirkynick saying this, it was me. Nick knows f**k all about the Olympic lifts!

I don't know much either......but still more than him!

Thanks I think you might be right. I've only done it as part of a class, where there is 5 platforms and 15 odd people - so we take turns. I might incorporate it into my normal training.

On another note, does anyone know anything about the BDFPA British Drug Free Powerlifting Association? I must admit I only have a minor interest in powerlifting, but looks like if I actually trained my bench press I might be able to compete at a divisional level.

How do people react if you do an olympic squat in a powerlifting competition!? Never even attempted a low bar..

A little correction from the last post, I've been assured that the yoke is 80kg, so:

Yoke - My first ever go at this! (15-20m ish with 2 pick ups (1 at each end))
(weights added only)
120kg x 2
160kg x 2
260kg x 4

I've competed a couple of times in the BDFPA, although there are guys on this site who have done loads of comps with them. Good comps. You could do GBPF comps, too.
Nothing wrong with doing an Olympic squat in a powerlfiting comp. For me at least though, low-bar adds 30-40kgs to my squat. Does nothing for my shoulders though...


That's good to know, the BDFPA website (albeit on a very quick skim) seems quite standoffish so I wasn't sure if you could compete in other kind of comp.

I've never done low bar squat, literally never done a rep so it'd be interesting to see what happens. Could do with it not pulling my shoulders to pieces though!

Might need to do some bench training and then I might be semi competitive at a divisional level!

615.0 kgs @ 109kgs UnEq		OK, lets pick this back up.

Started a new business just after Christmas so haven't had a lot of time for training. Had a few sessions in January, then came back last week.

"Highlights" for the first two weeks back:

Back Squat ATG Olympic no belt:
170kg x 3 x 5
180kg x 1

Push Press:
100kg x 5 x 2
110kg x 3
115kg x 1

Log Press:
100kg x 5
110kg x 3
115kg x 1
120kg x 1

Bench Press:
110kg x 3 x 5 all paused on chest for 2 seconds.

Deadlift - No belt, with straps:
230kg x 5
240kg x 1
250kg x 1
260kg x f
200kg x 3 x 2

Hook grip - 200kg x 1 - OUCH!

Front Squat:
140kg x 3 x 5
160kg x 1

Incline dumbell press:
38kg x 5 x 5

Strict press:
90kg x 3 x 5

That's about it I think! I'm also cycling at least 40 miles a week at the moment. Not feeling strong at all, need to get a few weeks under my belt.

Harder than they probably should have been, but OK.

Aiming to drop a bit of weight, currently hovering around 112kg
