I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Sunday: Squat: 60 x 7 70 x 3 70 x 3 70 x 3 70 x 3 70 x 3 70 x 3 70 x 3 70 x 3 Box Squat (Quite low, breeze block on its side): 70 x 5 80 x 5 90 x 5 95 x 5 100 x 5 Deadlift: 60 x 7 100 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 110 x 3 Started doing some fast squats and deadlifts as well as box squats, which i really liked! Monday: Went to the gym again with a friend and was doing loads of back stuff; cable rows, lat pulldown, hammersmith pulldown? I really felt all that! Back at home: Board Presses (About 3.5 inches so whatever that is, 2 and a bit board press?): Worked up to: 90 x 1, then: 85 x 3 And a few triples with around 80. I've got no real routine at the moment to be honest, i've been going the gym a lot with a friend and doing whatever really! I need to get that sorted. | ||

I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Thursday at the gym (Daves Gym, Northwich) Deadlifts: 60 x 7 100 x 3 140 x 1 180 x 1 200 x 1 belt on: 220 x 1 227.5 x 1 PB! 180 x 6/7 ? Cable Rows: 3 sets; up to stack (which isnt that much tbh!) Really pleased to get the 500lb deadlift today. I was bloody nervous before attempting it as i could see 3 big men with skin heads watching me lol and i really didnt want to fail! They said to me after that they dont see many people lifting that much and asked me how long i'd been doing it etc so it made my day! No videos unfortunately, it was definatley hard but i wasnt going to miss it. | ||

 the Ergbreaker Member 19, 858 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 260590.0 kgs @ 128kgs UnEq | Sweet jesus, nice bloody deadlifting David!! Why is everyone nailing 500lb before me?   Now if you can just sort your bench out, you have a decent powerlifting total right there.  Jonathan | ||

I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Thanks Jonathan, when are you going to go for it then? Haha yeah my bench press is embarassing i will be nailing board presses and tricep stuff from now on, and probably put on a few more kilos (following advice from Rob!). Cheers Rob! Well judging by the speed that 200 went up, im sure you will be pulling it soon if you hammer your lockout   | ||

I'll be 20 in April aswell, 27th to be exact. But yes if i am allowed to enter then i would definatley do it!! | ||

Just £30 quid for BWLA membership for the year (which lets you compete in any of their competitions throughout the year) and about £7 on the day I think.You need to wear a singlet. If you're still in the 82.5k-90k category then you'll probably win your group as junior (19-23) - if you're in the 90s then you might be up against me (... if I'm not in the 100s by then!  )If it's like last year I think it'll be on the 29th. | ||

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | That all looked pretty easy mate. What I would say is to use a higher box - that carton thing is WAYY! below parallel! Try and use something an inch or two below maybe - hopefully that'll teach you not to go as deep when you do your full squats. Remember you don't want to go too deep or you're just cutting yourself short. P.S. Good job on the editing.. it was nice not to have to watch an empty garage for 45 seconds | ||

I ♥ Dr. Gillian McKeith Member 17, 742 posts SQ 0, BP 180, DL 0180.0 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | I was also thinking of giving this routine a try for squats: http://www.joeskopec.com/ruspeak.html But replacing the Monday session with Speed Squats/Heavyish Box Squats. Any thoughts? | ||

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | That routine is the one a lot of us have done for bench recently. Tokar is doing it for squats at the minute. I'm not sure I would replace the light day with anything else because the idea is that this will, over the course of the program, turn into a speed day. When I started my bench program with 80 as doubles they weren't that quick, but by the last week they were flying. | ||
