 Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | I actually thought it might be a 40 which is why I am reckoning a 38 would be pretty much on the money at this point BUT I will wash and tumble and take it to get the straps altered. Should they just fit over the shoulder when standing so that they tighten when you drop down or should they be a bit loose when standing and just tighten when you drop down? Getting to depth in this suit isn't a problem at all. | ||

Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Well I have been powerlifting deflowered and I am no longer a bench shirt virgin Mr Darcy! A jolly fine chap from the PL bunch at t'other Olympic Gym came to train with me this evening bearing gifts of bench shirts, advice and a whole lot of fun. I warmed up with some normal bench whilst Chris did close grip until we got close to my max and he had finished his sets and then we jiggled and pulled and shoved me into one suit which it was decided was too loose although it did not feel so to me.....then we jiggled, pulled, punched, pulled some more and squishe dme into a suit 2 sizes smaller....and yes this one was fcking tight! Very strange feeling and not altogether pleasant but not quite as unpleasant as I had thought. We did some benching to 3 board and it was all even stranger and boarding painful....but bearable. Didn't do anything silly, just got up to 80kg 2 board, heard a few intercostals crack a couple of times and then called it a day for a 1st session. Then carried on and did other stuff and it was a really enjoyable session as I haven't trained with anyone for what seems like AGES. I have also decided I will be doing the Feb BPC qualifier, Mr G will be 3 weeks out from the Grand Prix so neither use nor ornament so road trip with a few other lifters and I can't wait. The trick will be to keep weight under 75kg! Cardio for purpose AND vanity now.......where is the Slimming World meet? Seriously chaps.....and massive than you to everyone who has helped me so far on my wee little journey, without getting all fcking mushy, I am truly greatful x | ||

Pec was sore and with each set of squats just got worse and worse, I cut my losses at 120kg and am now resigned to the fact that if I want to do the qualifier I will have to take a spoonful of my own medicine and REST until it is repaired. It hurts, breathing, sniffing, coughing and don't even mention a sneeze. Rather annoying BUT not the end of the world. | ||

 as seen on TV Member 1512, 376 posts | I have the same problem with my back, tried to do deads last week and made it worse. We seem averse to rest! Rest, train back up and you will be fine!  | ||

Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Little sneezes now possible! Not trained all week and lots of ice. I am pretty certain I did something to intercostal so being 'sensible' and hoping for damage limitation! | ||

power by name , power by nature ! Member 439, 217 posts | My wife wears a size 40 [which i wear first to stretch it out )as she would be about 10 kg heavier than you I would think a 38 would be ok. Sorry about the injury. | ||

Member 1803, 320 posts SQ 175, BP 130, DL 200505.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Awe Thanks...I managed to do a wee leg session today, nothing major but enough to tick over. I think a 38 would be spot on but as it's my 1st outing I really just need to do good lifts and get a total on the board and see if I like it, with the equipment I have. Then I can look at investing OR getting rid of the chunk and fitting in the 36 lol! | ||
