Martin1956		205... OR WHATEVER IT TAKES...	09-09-2007 @ 19:52
Old Age Presser Member 75, 7752 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Post Edited: 03.04.2010 @ 16:23 PM by Martin1956 I've been keeping a training log over on PLUK (Back Training At Last!!!) where I've charted my progress from my first tentative bench session after injury, through my WDFPF M3 record, to my peaking for the IPF World Masters Bench. The injury is just about gone (I'll probably always have a niggly shoulder, but it's not hampering my lifting any more) and I thought it was about time I started a new journal with new goals. The feedback on my PLUK log has almost dried up, and those that do post are mostly Sugden members as well, so I thought it was about time I moved over here. Plus this forum seems generally more active and supportive than any of the others. It probably helps that lots of us know each other through NW and British events. So, this being my first post, I'll recap on what I did today. Bar for 10 40 for 10 60 for 8 80 for 6 100 for 4 120 for 2 140 for 1 Shirt on and 180 (no touch) for 1. 35 minutes cardio, 6 sets of hammer curls, and that's it weights-wise, altjhough I'll do cardio tomorrow and Tuesday to keep my fitness up and my weight down. I was really pleased with the 180. The no touch was because the shirt rode up on me and was across my throat (didn't have my lever belt with me). It flew up like there were wooden weights on the bar. I've never had 180 fly up like that. And if it had gone right down, there'd probably have been more rebound and even more speed. I would love to come home with a 192.5 under my belt (BWLA British M2 record has stood at 190 since 1999) and I'm really buzzing after that 180, in spite of not touching. A good belt and some adrenaline will get a touch on Friday, no problem, and I'm hoping Chris Edwards (Rhino) will be around to help me into the shirt on the day. NO ONE gets you into a shirt like Chris! The lockout work I've been doing for the last three weeks seems to have taken me forward. I'd welcome some advice before I fly off on Wednesday morning... My Adidas gold trainers (with three red stripes to match my Katana, of course) arrived yesterday. Now, should I be patriotic and wear red, white and blue since I'm lifting for Britain, or should I go gold leotard and gold trainers? And if the latter, should I wear red socks, or gold socks (assuming I can find some by Tuesday afternoon)? Or maybe one red and one gold? This sartorial dilema is causing sleepless nights! Advice is urgently required!

One Sexy MoFo Member 101, 2470 posts	Good luck Martin! Definitely gold leotard and gold trainers. When you get 192.5 everyone can call you The Man with the Golden Bench. It sounds stupid. Actually, it is. But just wear all-gold and take some pics, ok?

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1582 posts	good luck Martin. I've followed you on a couple of forums and now you have a diary on here I wonder if I might take advantage with about a million bench questions that I currently have!

Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts	Good luck Martin, I think you are on the right track with the additional lockout work. The Katana is a very tough shirt and goes from lots of support on the chest to virtually none at the top. What weight can you actually get down with? Jim and I have had success with someone pushing the bar to your chest on the last warmup which beds the shirt in that bit more so you get down with the opener.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7752 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Cheers guys! A month's worth of responses in a couple of hours!!! Gold it is then, if the built in garters pass the IPF kit check. Thanks for the good wishes. Nico, ask away - but I might not be as clued up as you seem to imagine, and the little I know is mostly courtesy of internet forums.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7752 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Thanks for all the good wishes - on here, texts and emails! Flying out early tomorrow morning so will not be posting again until Monday night - assuming the dogs don't eat my computer while I'm away! The doubts are kicking in already. At least that gets rid of the complacency. Gold it is, btw!
