Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Monday 8th July. Hot and sticky at the Farm, just 7 lifters in attendance. Weighed in at 118.85kg. Dealifts. 2 x 5 x 70 4 x 120 3 x 140 2 x 155 1 x 170 1 x 185 1 x 200 5 x 140 The 200 was an absolute grind but it came up and was held in the lockout position for some goodly amount of seconds! Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 3 x 100 1 x 110 1 x 117.5 1 x 120 2 x 107.5 4 x 100 7 x 87.5 Happy with how these went. Strict OHP. 5 x 20 5 x 40 5 x 50 3 x 60 Definitely an improvement on these. So now we are on 160/120/200 - 480, getting there slowly.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Wednesday 10th July. Just 5 lifters in tonight, it always goes like this when the weather is warm. Weighed in at 118.45kg. Squats. 2 x 5 x 20 5 x 60 4 x 90 3 x 110 2 x 130 1 x 145 1 x 155 1 x 165 3 x 135 Everything came up but squats are really not going well. Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 3 x 100 3 x 2 x 110 4 x 102.5 7 x 90 No problems. Up to 165/120/200 - 485 total. Still on course for that 500 in August.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Friday 12th July. Hotter and sweatier than usual at The Farm. Ten lifters playing. Weighed in at 118.70kg. Deadlifts. 2 x 5 x 70 4 x 110 3 x 130 2 x 145 1 x 160 1 x 175 1 x 190 1 x 205, failed before lockout, bar slipping from hands so put it down rather than drop it. 3 x 150 The 205 was disappointing, it was right on my limit tonight and a real grind but I just could not hold on to it. Suffered sweaty palms all night, not usually a problem for me! Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 2 x 100 1 x 110 1 x 115 1 x 117.5 1 x 120 4 x 102.5 7 x 92.5 No problems, all felt comfortable, stuck to the plan and resisted the urge to go heavier. Still on a 485 total, 490 would have sounded better.

Member 541, 4893 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	The bar path of the 205 was so skewed on the right side, if the bar path had been straight it would have gone up, no problem

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	I'd like to think you are correct Bill, i'll have another crack at it on Wednesday. Monday 15th July. Not so sweaty at the Farm tonight, 10 lifters playing. Squats. 2 x 5 x 70 5 x 60 4 x 90 3 x 110 2 x 130 1 x 140 1 x 150 1 x 160 1 x 170 3 x 140 Better than expected, everything came up, the 170 is on the Farms facebook page. Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 2 x 100 1 x 100 1 x 117.5 1 x 122.5 3 x 105 5 x 100 7 x 95 Not easy but not the grind I was expecting. So we are back on course for that 500 with 170/122.5/200=492.5 Just 5 sessions left.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Wednesday 17th. The wheels came off today, a lack of sleep and no food meant that tonight's session was never going to be great, plus it was HOT & HUMID under the Farm Tin Roof. That's the excuses out of the way. Weighed in at 119.40kg. Deadlift. 2 x 5 x 70 4 x 110 3 x 130 2 x 145 1 x 160 1 x 175 1 x 190 1 x 205 Failed Twice, barely moved off the floor. 3 x 165 Everything felt like it was welded to the floor. Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 3 x 3 x 100 3 x 5 x 90 Not the planned session, just no energy.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Friday 19th July. Steaming hot at the Farm again tonight. Weighed in at 119.35kg. Like Wednesday, still feeling very lethargic. Squat. 2 x 5 x 20 5 x 60 4 x 90 3 x 110 3 x 125 3 x 140 3 x 150 2 x 160 Properly had to grind these out, very hard work from the 125's up. Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 6 x 80 3 x 100 1 x 110 1 x 117.5 1 x 122.5 3 x 105 5 x 100 7 x 95 Comfortable.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Monday 22nd July. Another hot night at the Farm, just 6 lifters turned out. Bodyweight 118.5kg. Deadlift. 2 x 5 x 70 4 x 100 3 x 120 3 x 140 3 x 160 3 x 180 3 x 170 3 x 150 After the previous two duff deadlift sessions I tried a different approach tonight, according to the Finch formula a treble at 180 equates to a single at 206. Everything came up comfortably. Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 6 x 80 3 x 100 1 x 110 Paused under command from Red light Pete. 1 x 117.5 1 x 122.5 3 x 105 5 x 100 7 x 95 No problems, even the wrist pain was absent tonight. So the competition is 12 days away, however i'm in Paris now until Friday then in Connecticut from Sunday until the following Friday, I lift approximately 24 hours after touching down at Heathrow. I'm thinking: 160/170/??? squat. 110/120/??? bench. 190/200/??? deadlift. Would love a 500 total in what would most likely be my last ever competition.

I don't get enough time to train properly now Bill, add to that the increasing osteoarthritis issues and it's probably a good time to call it a day. That said, never say never!

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	So, after not going near a bar for the best part of two weeks and flying back into the UK on Friday lunchtime, I turned out, somewhat jetlagged, at the EM Masters on Saturday. I did consider pulling out but that would have been a little unfair of me after the organisers were good enough to accommodate me. Due to a referee shortage I then MC'd the entire morning session before nipping off to weigh in and don the lycra. Weighed in at 119.1kg, heavier than i'd have liked. The warm up room was very cramped, 25 lifters in two groups and 2 racks. Squat warm up: 5 x 60 3 x 100 2 x 130 1 x 150 Platform: 160 - Three whites. 170 - Three whites. Didn't take a third! Bench warm up: 10 x 20 5 x 60 3 x 80 1 x 100 Platform: 102.5 - Three whites. 112.5 - Three whites. 117.5 - Three whites. Deadlift warm up: 5 x 60 3 x 100 1 x 140 1 x 170 Platform: 1 x 190 - Three whites. 1 x 202.5 - Three whites. Didn't take a third. 490 total, I was the only M3 120kg lifter. I might have squeezed out an extra 5kg on both the squat and deadlift but all I really wanted to do was sleep!
