Hi, first post, so I'd thought I'd make it useful and start a training log. Not kept one online for years, and as my goals have changed, I figured I should be in the company of people stronger than me in order to get better.

I'm 38, run a PT company in Nottingham, and have always gravitated towards heavier training than BBing. As I've got older and realised my lifts are not entirely shabby, I've started aiming at competing.

However, whilst I have a decent squat (210) and bench (155) I suck at deadlifting (205). The deadlift is low because of lack of practice and a dodgy lower back. I broke my leg a few years ago and severed my ACL. I've never had the surgery, so all my lifting is self-rehabbed. The lower back issues are related to muscles in the right leg over-compensating.

Anyway, over the last year I seem to have developed some work-a-arounds, so finger's crossed it's not going to hold me back from a decent total for much longer.

I've just finished running the full Smolov squat routine with great success, and am following Candito's Six Week strength programme, simply to get myself deadlifting a little more frequently whilst maintaining my bench and squat numbers.

Anyway. That's me. Thanks for reading this far Happy

Today though, much better.

Bench 127.5 x 3, 130 x 3, 135 x 3, nice easy touch'n'go single at 140 to finish.
Seated Rows 90 x 12, 100 x 12, 110 x 10, 115 x 8
Military Press 60 x 12, 65 x 12, 70 x 10, 75 x 8

Built and installed a new cable machine yesterday, so played around with cable cross etc after for some sets of 12s.

Much better session than yesterday. Amazing what some sleep and some food does, eh?

Weighed in at 88.5kg this AM.
