 slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | thanks  I am really excited about the comp  getting a bit nervous too...I havent posted my latest workouts but here is a brief outline: Monday I did bench and a few accessory exercises Wednesday I did squats doubles with 85kg Thursday I did bench doubles at 55kg with comp commands Friday 24th aug Squats 4x60k 2x70k 2x75k 2,2,2,2,2x77.5k felt nice and comfy and back felt strong even though felt tired when I went into the workout Deadlifts 1x60k 1x90k 1x100k (all with very strict form) 1x110k easy though form not great 1x120k easy 1,1x125k sweet - barely a strain - thinking there may be a max greater than 130kg there.... I have no idea what to do for my comp lifts... Current maxes are 90 / 60 / 130 Am tempted to think of something: SQ 80/87.5/95 ot 92.5 *or* 80/90/95  BP 50/55/60 *or* 55/60/62.5 in the unlikely eventuality that I may make 60k? DL 110/120/130 *or* 120/130/135 .... Discuss. | ||

slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Post Edited: 01.09.2007 @ 20:21 PM British Unequipped Powerlifting Championships1st Sept Tyseley *Awesome* day. Acknowledgments first Thanks JP and .flux for hosting me and driving me there. Thanks Buzz for the awesome video that you are editing as I type. Thanks all three of you for being there and thanks JP for being my competition coach. Also thanks to Jim Blanchflower and Bryn Evans for their fantastic support, advice and company behind the scenes. Thanks to everyone at the competition who supported me and cheered me on. Thanks VF and Sugden for your wonderful support in the build-up to this comp, in all the carrots for today. :OK so now that the heart-felt acknowledgments are out of the way - the serious biz.... Squats Warm-up went well in awesome gym but was very very very nervous. Concentrating on keeping my focus and keeping my breathing steady. Was really good keeping my opener nice and light. 80k deep and easy 90k not-so-deep got one red light which is not good because it meant for my third lift the judges were going to be looking even more closely and be even more strict. 92.5k British record went a bit deeper but still got one red light. Was also a personal PB. Was easy - a lot more in there but needd to get deeper. Bench press Bench is a bad lift for me despite really liking it. I don't always get into the groove and my form isnt great yet. Lots of work to be done. Warm-ups were 20, 40, 45, 45 50k opener *easy* but good to set a good example for the judges 57.5k solid and easy though things were a little askew when the lift was mis-called. British record 62.5k - failed. I did fight hard and it was close but form was *really* off. I will nail it *very* soon. Deadlifts I love deadlifts - they are less technical and you have the adrenaline from the past events and you can give all your remaining energy for this lift. I was feeling tired as I started warmups but it was a misconception. 115k opener incredibly easy but in the end it was the slowest lift :lol: 125k powerful and easy 135k *PB* there was a slight debate between 132.5 and 135k but I am glad I went for 135 because it went up like lightning - I am certain there is far more there British record Total 285 - British record and my new personal total is 287.5k Was a fantastic day - quite tired, elated and inspired now.

The last deadlift was brilliant, you have plenty more to come there. Congratulations once again, and nice one on wearing the t-shirt! As a sidenote, Joni looks massive in his t-shirt - like a proper big dirty meathead powerlifter!!! Excellent! | ||
