Wednesday 20th March.

Last session for a few weeks as business travel takes over again.
Weighed in at 119.60kg.

Squat.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 60
4 x 100
3 x 120
2 x 135
1 x 147.5
1 x 157.5

Felt heavy but never in doubt.

Bench.
12 x 20
7 x 60
4 x 80
2 x 100
1 x 110
1 x 117.5
1 x 120 Failed to lock out on right.
3 x 105
5 x 95
Strange, the 117.5 was comfortable but at 120 the dodgy right shoulder gave up.

Deadlift.
5 x 80
4 x 120
2 x 160
1 x 185
1 x 200
3 x 160
The 200 was tough but there might be a little more there.

So a 485 total during a training session, not bad all things considered.
No plans to compete this year, a lack of training plus the osteoarthritis are not condusive to competitive lifting.

Still just ticking over, not able to get many sessions in at the Farm as work is priority. Bodyweight is just under 120.

Wednesday 26th June.

First day back at the Farm in a while, just 6 lifters in tonight, apparently whilst i've been away some nights there have been 12-13 lifters in and some nights only 1.

Weighed in at 118.05kg, lighter than I was expecting but still heavier than i'd like.

Tonight and Friday will be about seeing how far I've sunk!

Squats.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 60
3 x 80
2 x 100
2 x 115
2 x 125
1 x 135
1 x 145
1 x 150
Probably my current limit, there might have been another 5 in me but no more.

Bench.
10 x 20
8 x 60
4 x 80
2 x 92.5
1 x 102.5
1 x 110
2 x 100
3 x 90
7 x 70
Probably could have squeezed out 115, all self-unracked. Benching much closer than normal, index fingers about 3 inches onto the knurling and pleased to report that the wrist pain is manageable.

Deadlifts Friday (aiming for 180'ish) and might go for that 115 bench.

Friday 28th June.

Very warm at the Farm but still 10 lifters turning out.
Weighed in at 118.10kg.

Deadlifts.
2 x 5 x 70
4 x 100
3 x 120
2 x 140
1 x 160
1 x 180
1 x 190
3 x 150
5 x 120
Fairly raced through these, working with Forklift we rattled through our deadlift session in around 30 minutes. No real problems but the 190 was probably the limit.

Bench.
10 x 20
8 x 60
4 x 80
2 x 90
1 x 100
1 x 110
1 x 115
1 x 102.5 should have been 3x but felt wrong after first.
5 x 90
7 x 75

Strict OHP.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 30
5 x 40
5 x 50
2 x 60 Couldn't lock the third press out.
Don't normally do these but had 20 minutes left at the end of the night.

So i'm at 150/115/190-455, four weeks out. Would like to hit a 500 total come competition day.

Monday 1st July.

Weight 118.55kg.

Squats.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 60
4 x 80
3 x 100
2 x 120
1 x 130
1 x 140
1 x 150
1 x 157.5
Well they felt rubbish but they all came up, 160 probably would not have!

Bench.
10 x 20
8 x 60
4 x 80
2 x 95
1 x 105
1 x 112.5
1 x 115
3 x 102.5
5 x 92.5
7 x 80
No problems.

So we move up to 157.5/115/190 = 462.5, 500 seems a long way off at the moment but small steps!Happy

Wednesday 3rd July.

Weighed in at 117.65kg (wasting away).

Deadlifts.
2 x 5 x 70
4 x 120
3 x 140
2 x 160
1 x 180
1 x 195
3 x 155
5 x 130
No problems, probably a little more there.

Bench.
10 x 20
8 x 60
5 x 80
3 x 90
2 x 100
1 x 110
1 x 117.5
3 x 102.5
5 x 95
7 x 82.5
The 117 went up but it was right on the limit.

Strict OHP.
5 x 20
3 x 5 x 40
2 x 60, wanted 3x but the bar froze just above my head height!

So we're up to 157.5/117.5/195 = 470. 500 in 3 weeks time???

Seems to be coming along well Ian, considering the time you had off. I also too a few weeks off between April and June. My comeback is rubbish! Any tips?

Cheers Bill, I have to say it's bl**dy hard work and being 61 now does not help! But there is of course no alternative to putting the work in at the gym. The osteoarthritis in my wrist is literally a pain but other than that the time away has helped heal a few of the niggles.

Friday 5th July.

Weighed in at 118.75kg.

Squats.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 60
4 x 90
3 x 110
2 x 125
1 x 137.5
1 x 150
1 x 160
3 x 130
The 125 double felt very heavy, the 160 single was much more comfortable.

Bench.
10 x 20
8 x 60
5 x 80
3 x 100
2 x 105
1 x 110
1 x 115
1 x 117.5
3 x 102.5
5 x 95
7 x 85.
No problems.

So we're up to 160/117.5/195-472.5
I'm thinking that 170/120/210-500 should be achievable in 4 weeks time.
