I'd finished it and just had a tricky bit to do at the top. The ladder was at a precarious angle and my father-in-law was on the bottom. He decided to move and the ladder collapsed. He then kindly told me where I was going wrong with ladder positioning I'm going to be trying some deadlifts later, but I'm still sore as f**k this morning  I'd say the mistake came at an earlier stage than that, when you agreed to help them, or even by talking to them. I think there's a moral lesson in the experience for you. Get well soon, for all that.  | ||

You can be proud Cliff, you are definitely wearing the trousers in your house. I wish I were As far as the rib goes, it is still sore. I deadlifted a solid 170 yesterday regardless, which is not too shabby for me, especially a bit a broken. | ||

 not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | right you lanky frenchman,we have an appointment at the squat rack. How does sunday the 19th december grab you as Dday max squat and max bench. Gives us plenty of time to train and throwing bench in as well will make it more interesting. I shall be gunning for a 400lb squat and a 120k bench ,what say you? | ||

However, given I am the king of the bench, I'll get at least 120.5 just to show who is boss  | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Excellent ,we should be pretty close with the combined totals if previous bests are anything to go on,you've got 15k on my best bench and from memory Ive got 10k on you in the squat(I might be making that up apologies if you've squatted more).I shall expect more frequent updates so i can keep an eye on you and take the piss! I might throw it open to the general forum as an online max out day like we used to do back in the early days of sugden! | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1582 posts | Sounds good Ed. Don't know if my bests mean much at the minute. Off the top of my head, I think I've done something like 162-164 squat and 130 bench which isn't far off 300. Unfortunately, if I did this tomorrow, I'd probably do about 135/90 which is a long way off Might be nice to chuck it out to the forum for those who are around 250-300 for squat/bench. Any plans as to how to attack it? I think I'll just go and squat/bench 3 times a week and see where it takes me. | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | similar plan to mine mate ,I'm going to hammer the volume squat ,3 times a week for 3 sets of 8 to start,I'll probably only bench once a week though as my shoulders dont like it.I'll hit the volume for 5 weeks whilst I'm losing weight then up to 5's twice a week once I'm ready to start building back up,same with bench 8's first then up to 5's then 3's than boom pb time! | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1582 posts | Sounds like a plan. I've been doing some stupidly high rep sets at the minute for squat. I did 60 kilos for 50 on Saturday and my legs are f**king sore. Next stop is 70 kilos for 50. I'm going to keep doing these and mix it up with some singles and maybe 5s. Bench depends on the the shoulders same as you. I'll play it by ear. | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | bloody hell my 3 sets of 8 hardly seems like volume at all by comparison! | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | that would be f**king lunacy! I shall be expecting more frequent updates noe we are competing! | ||

I'll let you know as the total (hopefully) creeps up. I'm off to squat and bench in a minute and the aim is to do a few sets with 85/110. I'm thinking of working up in ladders (do a single, a double and a triple). when I can get 3, I'll add some weight. As for the lunacy, you know it makes sense Seriously, I don't think I'm ever going to be squatting 300, but I reckon I could do 100 for 50 with my chicken legs. | ||

True story: a few years ago, I spent two days in my top lounge because Mrs. T.'s sister was down for Xmas. I only came out for toilet visits, lightning fridge raids, and after they had gone to bed. Unfortunately, I got trapped in the shower room because they had gone out and came back unexpectedly soon. I spent two hours in there waiting for them to go back downstairs do that I could escape. It's tough, but you have to make sacrifices to stick to your principles. | ||

It's tough, but you have to make sacrifices to stick to your principles. Cliff, you are my hero. Waiting for 2 hours to come out of the bathroom is just awesome stuff. In my quest to ground Ed into dust and show him just what lanky really means, I did some benching and squatting today. Bench 85/1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 squat 110/1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 Ed, you must be quaking in your boots It is frightening how much strength I've mlost on the bench. 85 kilos felt heavy. I would have struggled to get a rep with 100 today. Still, as a great philosopher once said:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeyOnNple4M | ||
