 Hill sprints are fun! Member 731, 3253 posts SQ 200, BP 127.5, DL 232.5560.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | ChrisBarr said: And I think if I was free squatting and got someone to put my wraps on I would have a bigger squat carryover. I used to think I could get more out of wraps when somebody else did them for me, but after a bit of practice I seem to have got used to the feeling of how I do them. If somebody else does them for me now it doesn't feel right. Practice practice practice  | ||

 Member 1543, 288 posts SQ 175, BP 115, DL 210500.0 kgs @ 92.5kgs UnEq | Cheers lukey yeah I think i just need to get used to putting them on myself. Might mess about with them on saturday. ME Bench Day. Thumb Grip away from smooth benching. warm up 70 x 5 90 x 5 100 x 3 105 x 1 110 x 1 - PB at this grip. 107.5 x 1 Changed my set up so I got more tighter in the legs and could really feel the benefit of leg drive. Pull Ups 7 x 2 3 way shoulder raise 3 x 20 2,3,4kg Machine row 4 x 10 Then done some pinkie on the ring benching with Neils slingshot. Was really fun. Worked up to 100 x 5 110 x 4 120 x 1 - First time this type of weight has touched my chest. I am aware that some weight will be taken off to some degree. And I have got 120 to a 2 board before. But still a technical PB. Really good session. Especially since my close grip is 2.5kg away from my "Max" | ||

Member 1543, 288 posts SQ 175, BP 115, DL 210500.0 kgs @ 92.5kgs UnEq | ME upper Another great session. 2 board bench warmup with weight to chest all reps were feeling really fast Board out 100 x 5 110 x 3 122.5 x 1 - PB Felt fast and fairly easy! Soo chuffed about this also I do realise its a touch and go but oh well.. I think i have changed my set up a bit so I am getting tighter in my upper back. I can also only assume the sleeveless tee got my swoleness on therefore could bench more :P Pullups 6 x 3 - added one rep for this 3 week phase. getting much stronger at these. It wasnt long ago when I could only do one!(the shame I know) Dumbell Front raise 4 x 10 7,9,10,12.5kg Tate press 4 x 10 5,10,12.5,15kg Facepulls 4 x 20. | ||

Member 1543, 288 posts SQ 175, BP 115, DL 210500.0 kgs @ 92.5kgs UnEq | ME Lower 26/4/11 Suited squats, straps down. warm up no suit to 120kg Suit on 140 x 1 160 x 2 175 x 1 Called it quits here not because it was difficult the weight was flying up and it felt easy, but due to vainty and having my pharmacy ball on thursday i didnt want to burst all the capillaries in my face! I think i could easily get over 200kg with the suit and knee wraps on. I videod the squat but my camera decided to be a prick and delete all my videos, including Neil's monster 3" defecit 250kg deadlift for 3! Stiff leg DL 4 x 6 120,120,130,140. Good session and I really like the feel of a suit. I have turned to the dark side and have become a gear whore! | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | nice sess was that the blue suit or black one you used? also, how tall are you? I haven't modified them so if you take the straps in you may get even more. | ||

Member 1543, 288 posts SQ 175, BP 115, DL 210500.0 kgs @ 92.5kgs UnEq | I used the blue one. I put the straps up and andy clegg had a look at them and said it was an all round good fit. Im about 5' 10". Also thanks for the suits man, they are excellent. I enjoy using them. | ||
