 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Sunday 22nd July, Rhinos, Mancs and District comp A little light spotting and loading, some vigorous shouting, some brushwork. Got a nice lower back pump loading for the bench, did a little squat spotting but only had to help catch one big squat. Most of the work was done by the ladies' component of the UK national team  .Monday 23rd July, Moss Side, am Swimming 40 lengths. Sitting around while a nice man opens my jammed locker with a hammer 20 minutes. Hey ho. Swimming was nice and easy, if pushed for time a little as I still have trouble getting up in the mornings. Monday 23rd July, Sugden, pm Squat 60x5x2, 100x5, 120x2, (belt) 135x3x5. I squatted in a different rack today and had trouble getting my foot position right. These gradually got better. As usual, the first set was shoulder agony and the rest got steadily more comfortable, painless after the 100s. Huge bonus: no knee pain. For reasons I shall disclose at another time, I am rather likely to be doing most of my training at Adlington from here on. I'm going to aim for about 4 on Wednesday. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Tuesday 24th July, Moss Side, am Swimming 45 lengths. Took it nice and slow and easy today, my legs were tired from squatting. 50 minutes for the 45 lengths, which is not great but not bad either. I note that Moss Side has a not-widely-publicised free weight room quite reminiscent of the old Sugden one, that a Sugden free weight induction negates any need for another one, and that it's only £2.80/session. Now that my Sugden membership has expired I think I may well be training here on occasions I'm not at adlington. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Well, they've bought no new equipment since then (apart from the robbing lockers), so I feel no guilt . | ||

As seen on t-nation Member 8, 192 posts SQ 170, BP 125, DL 220515.0 kgs @ 85kgs UnEq | They probably bought no equipment because people like you dont pay their fees Ricky boy! | ||

Joni and I used to go there (he more than I) back in the day. And 45 lengths in 50 minutes to a useless swimmer like me is not not bad, it's practically superhuman. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Tokar - yeah, I guess. I was a very strong swimmer, and a lot of that's clearly still with me although my technique's gone to s**t. I was never much of a sprint swimmer, though! The people who can actually swim are outpacing me two to one or more on crawl and not far off even on eg breaststroke. Tony - yup, Adlington will be my three-times-weekly home from here on. Probably do one session at a weekend at either moss side or suggers. Wednesday 25th July (am), Moss Side Swimming 50 lengths, roughly 55 minutes. Still just sculling along slowly and gently. I want to get to 64 lengths (one mile) and then gradually start to push the pace up. I need to be doing them in under an hour by the time term starts. Wednesday 25th July (pm), Adlington Coan bench, week 6, and the first session of my new life at Adders. Bench 20x8, 70x5, 90x3, 105x2, 115x5x2 (first reps paused). My crap first rep disease is striking again. Close-grip Bench 105x5x2. Incline Bench 120#x5, 215#x5x2. Plates on this bench are in lbs. Fortunately I can do sums. Chest-supported row 3 big plates x10x2. (two of them at 19kg, the third is unidentified) Narrow pulldowns stuff plus 1 big plate x10x2. (there's a lot of shrapnel on the pulley, then several big keyhole plates. Used the shrapnel plus one.) Lots of bo***cks talked with various gentlemen, and some other people too . Home, incredibly early by training-at-Sugden standards, happy. | ||

It's where Aaron used to go as well, I think the closure was one of the reasons hes at Adlington now. Sure he can elaborate. | ||
