 doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Deads 190 x 1 160 x 3 x 3 I would like to get a qualifying total for the Masters in August but I'm way heavier than I should be and at least 10kg of bar weight away. Normally at this point I would give up, I don't think I'll give up this time. | ||

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Off camping today - see Finch's comments above (also going to Paris the day before a competition) Today: Deads 180 x 3 (2 sets) Bench 120 x 3 (2 sets) Squat 140 x 3 (2 sets) A few more kilos body weight to loose then the plan is 150/130/180 openers and finish on 160/140/190 which gives me 5kg wiggle room to get to 485 which is the masters qualifying total which has been the goal. This time last year was very different. | ||

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Squats 145 x 1 145 x 2 - stupidly hard Bench 120 x 3 x 3 easy It was not a bright idea squatting again, benching I can do daily without any issues. Frustrating | ||

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Getting progressively weaker and not losing any weight despite living like a monk. The competition isn't going to happen, neither is a qualifying total for me - such a shame. Did some assistance stuff and cardio this morning, nothing of note | ||

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | After a 13 hour drive back from France yesterday, I cannot stand up straight today! I'll get back to the Farm tomorrow and see how I feel, train again on Monday and then work up to opening singles on Wednesday. I'm 90% certain to lift but will probably just use it as a training session, easy openers, harder 2nd lifts and might not bother with 3rds. Fortunately I've got the Masters qualifying total from the All England. | ||

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | The event organiser has kindly agreed to let me compete in the 120s - only as a guest, but that doesn't matter as I'm not competitive or likely to get a qualifying total. Doubles with my proposed openers today. Squat 150 x 2 Bench 130 x 2 Deads 180 x 2 Openers again on Monday, light one on Wednesday and that's it | ||

I'm treating this as a starting point to more regular competition - look forward to seeing you. | ||

After the year you've been through, I'd love to be able to be there to see you on the platform once again, and show you pictures of Curtis Mayfield whilst pointing at Andy Rodney. What you've accomplished in the past year (namely not dying) is pretty good going to say the least. Give it your best and let us know how you get on. | ||

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq | Surprising day at the GBPF East Midlands Novice and Masters I went 9 for 9 ending with 165/145/195 - 145 being an all time competition PR. Check my log a year ago to see how I've progressed, I'm very happy. Qualified for the British Masters too! | ||
