 just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | More squats and bench today, although judging by bench performance, last year's 11 reps at 100 is some distance away Bench 90/1,2,3,1,2,1 Squat 115/1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 I reckon if all goes really well, something like 270 would be doable by the 19th Dec. Just a shame that all never goes really well  I'll keep plugging away. I'm thinking of testing maxes in mid-October or so, so we'll see where things are. Of course, the arrival of baby number three will probably f**k up those plans in a couple of weeks, but in a good way  | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 11010 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | you'll hit more than 270k mate ,if you get back to a 130 bench ( in nearly 3 months there is no reason why you cant) you'd only have to squat 140k and you will definitely do more than that! | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | I think I'll nail more than 140 on the squat. I'd really want over 160. I don't think I'll be able to get the bench back to 130 that soon though. Probably 110-115 seems more likely. Last time smolov junior put about 10 kilos on my bench in about three weeks, so that might be an option nearer the time. Depends how much I need | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | Yet more benching and squatting today. Felt ok, but not nothing special, so I'm quite pleased with the session really. Bench 90/1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 on the last set I probably could have pushed for 5 or 6. Nothing brilliant, even for me, but heading in the right direction. Squat 120/1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 As above, 5 or 6 were they on the last set. All of these were sunk nice and deep as well. I was going to have a pop at 70 kilos for 50 to finish, but to reward myself, I stopped at 20 | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | Benching and squatting for a change. Bench 95/1,2,3,1,2,3,1,2,3 nice and solid squat 125/1 This felt heavy for some reason, so I stopped. I'm trying to avoid grinding anything out for the minute, given that I'm squatting 3 times a week. I did a very short warm up compared to what I've been doing for the last couple of weeks, so maybe that made the difference. | ||

True and when I get to your age, I'll remember that  Actually, I've always been the worst person in the world for warming up, but 5 minutes rolling, stretching the hips a bit and doing a circuit (press ups, chins, overhead squats and ab rollouts) seems to make a difference. And it has only taken me twenty years of training to realise that | ||
