Member 194, 3976 posts | I don't fly fixed wing, just rotorcraft so only Helis or Gyroplanes, although never flew in the latter. I have about 7 hours in a crappy cesna some years back and I will learn eventually, bloody expensive though so I need to earn some money and pay off some loans before I think about that. | ||

Member 194, 3976 posts | Post Edited: 15.04.2009 @ 09:09 AM by MattGriff Martin, I'm sure they will now lol.I started from flying in an army heli or two, first a chinook then a gazelle. It is enjoyable but to be honest much the same as any other job, I'll just get to travel a bit more each day and know the country layout a little better. I am chuffed however as the company has got a large chunk of the olympic contract so I will be flying down there then, never gonna compete in it so be nice to be part of it somehow. | ||

Member 194, 3976 posts | Deadlifts 20th Dec Had a right bas***d of a workout tonight, fast and furious, I think Lee was in a hurry lol Deads from floor We switched between sets for the other person to lift, then straight back on the weights, so no rest at all really 220 x 2 x 10 sets 180 x 2 x 5 sets All of these were mega fast (or as fast as possible as a couple were grinders when we got tired, by we I mean me!). These took 14mins in total for 15 sets each to give you an idea of the speed work. Atlantis Row 80kg a side, done exactly the same as the deads 80 x 3 x 8 Dumbbell Row 70kg x 5 75kg x 5 80kg x 5 – Not so easy, went up but last couple were bas***ds Dumbbell Shrug 100kgs x 10 x 3 – The hardest part was the deadlift to get them up after 15 sets of deads Had the most horrible lower back pump I have had in a while, but all good. | ||

Its an Atlatis row machine as opposed to a hammer row Lee has battered me and I have never been stronger, nothing better than training with someone with experience, and 18 years of it a 9 world and 12 European titles is experience in my book lol. He does drive me on well and has helped sorting out my deadlift form which is now near sport on just needs consistency, my bench was actually ok as he taught me to bench over 7 years ago in another gym, but I didn't know who he was then, and my squat, well still needs work I am currently working on wider and wider stances to shift more weight. Its all good! | ||

Member 194, 3976 posts | 27th Bench & Deads Usual story, too much crap, too much beer (please note, beer does not fall under ‘crap’, it is a heavenly gift and should be treated as holy, holy delicious that is!) and not enough sleep. I was not looking forward to this one! Raw Bench 100 x 10 140 x 5 x 4 sets 140 x 2 - Was so tired lol Close Grip Bench 100 x 10 120 x 8 x 2 Deadlift 220 x 3 x 5 Close grip V-Bar Pulldowns Stack (approx 130kg ish) x 10 x 3 sets Be glad to be back into routine again, next comp build up starts on the 27th Jan, gonna be working a lot on flexibility until then to improve my squat and increase the arch in my bench. | ||
