Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Monday 6th January. Back at the Farm tonight, I've not really been training properly for some time however I've now got 4 full weeks in the UK so i'll be trying to get back on it. No plans to compete this year though but I will be refereeing whenever possible. Weighed in at 118.75kg, still much to fat! Squat. 2 x 5 x 20 5 x 40 3 x 60 3 x 80 3 x 100 3 x 120 2 x 130 1 x 145 Easing back into it slowly, all over deep as usual, happy to say that there were no real problems. Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 50 6 x 70 4 x 90 2 x 102.5 1 x 107.5 3 x 100 5 x 80 7 x 60 Overcoming the osteo-arthritus by benching close grip, happy to say it is relatively pain free but at the expense of some kilos on the bar. Deadlifts. 2 x 5 x 60 3 x 90 2 x 120 1 x 140 These hurt and were disappointingly hard, that said they were my first deadlifts since October 16th, nearly 12 weeks!

Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 5 x 80 3 x 95 2 x 105 1 x 110 3 x 100 5 x 82.5 8 x 65 No point in rushing these, easing back slowly. Deadlift. 5 x 70 4 x 90 3 x 110 2 x 130 1 x 150 Wow, my deadlift really needs some work!

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Friday 10th January 2020. Another busy night at the Farm, 8 lifters in attendance.

Bench. 10 x 20 8 x 60 6 x 80 2 x 100 Should have been 3x but did not feel right! 3 x 100 1 x 112.5 2 x 3 x 100 8 x 70 The 112.5 was definitely tonight's limit. Deadlift. 5 x 70 4 x 100 3 x 120 2 x 140 1 x 160 1 x 167.5 Weights are starting to become challenging! That said it's nice to have exceeded the British qualifying total without really trying.
