SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5
570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq		Friday 21st May.

Twelve lifters at the Farm, i've never seen it so busy!
Weighed in at 118.95Kg.
Still keeping everything light.

4 x 80
3 x 100
2 x 120
1 x 140
1 x 160

Back to squats on Monday.

Target for the rest of 2021 is to get closer to a 500 total again.
No competitions planned, however i might just have a run out at the EM Masters in August if injury free.

535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq		Looks like we have fairly similar goals Ian. I think for me 500 will have to be a gym total.

Strangely, despite being in no condition to lift i've got the qualifying total for this years British from my last competition back in August 2019. However if i want to lift in the 2022 nationals i'll need to hit a 447.5 total this year, so my loose plan is to do the EM Masters this August and exceed 447.5!

Monday 24th May.

Just 4 lifters at the Farm.
Weighed in at 119.75kg (heavy weekend).

Squats.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 50

2 x 110

1 x 130
3 x 100

535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq		That seems a bold move Ian. The Masters is less than 9 weeks away, AND the EM classic 5 weeks after that. That's a tough schedule for someone with only a weeks training in the past 5 months.

My plan ATM is to train till the last week of August, take 2-3 weeks off, and then decide if I want to compete in WM divisionals in late November/early December

570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq		Friday 4th June.

Six lifters at the Farm, quiet for a Friday.
Weighed in at 120.9kg, diet still not going to plan!
Somehow the college "forgot" to open the doors today we we all stood outside for 30 minutes whilst a man with keys was hunted down. Consequently the session was all a little rushed.

Deadlifts.
2 x 5 x 70
4 x 100
3 x 125
2 x 150
1 x 175
1 x 180
2 x 150
3 x 130
No problems, still taking them steady, no point in following a plan until i'm back to something resembling a powerlifter.

Bench.
2 x 10 x 20
8 x 60
4 x 80
2 x 92.5
2 x 1 x 105
2 x 95
5 x 80 Close Grip.
No problems, all comfortable.

560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq		its a hard road back when you haven't trained for a long period , it must be difficult trying to lose weight and train at the same time . i found training on reduced calories miserable!
