 The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | You lifting yourself off on the bench with anything more than the bar definately shocked me! But the weeks training impressed me.  | ||

 Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Post Edited: 25.05.2011 @ 16:27 PM by John_C Hehe Bad situation with my squat briefs; they were far too loose, slipping on in ten seconds, so I sugared them. I can no longer get them past my arse, and its not even close, so they're bust. I can get a new pair one size up or one size down but neither of these are a good fit. The size I wear is a custom size that I can't get a new pair of in time for the comp. Also, I don't fancy spending £100+. Tuesday 24th May 10:00 -- AM Session Squat suit on, straps down 85kg x 3 105kg x 3 belt on 125kg x 3 145kg x 1 155kg x 1 wraps on 165kg x 1 155kg x 3 Very mediocre. Terrible in fact. Deadlift 70kg x 5 110kg x 1 130kg x 1 x 7 Good for and speed, happy with these. I don't have time to get back into equipped squatting before the comp and I can travel to use a monolift but its going to cost £10+ a time. I'm really enjoying raw lifting too. Also need a new deadlift suit at £100+. As well as this, shirted benching causes problems still with the tendons around my elbows, and I can't use it in my gym -- again I'll have to travel a £10+ a time. I think I'm best sticking to raw lifting for a while. That was my plan at the start of the year anyway as I knew it would be really tough this year in the final part of my degree to travel to train and so on. | ||

Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Saturday 28th May 15:30 -- PM Session Snatch pull/power snatch 30kg x 5 The set felt fine, then I walked off and my lower back seized up. Cramp, maybe, but I'm not sure what cramp feels like. I spent half an hour trying to get it to wake up. 45 degree back extensions BW x 12 x 2 These are great for getting blood through! Felt good after these, but we had to move on. Snatch pull 40kg x 5 x 2 50kg x 5 70kg x 5 x 2 Light still, but felt good. Oly squat 50kg x 5 x 2 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 5 x 3 50 reps total. Everything hurt after this. Instead of my usual cycle home I was walking and it took a lot longer than normal, but by the end of it, everything felt way better. | ||

Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | I started this session at 10.30am after handing in my final ever piece of university work and having not slept on Thursday night in order to finish it off, so I was going into this session in no fit state to train. Friday 3rd June 10:30 -- AM Session Squat 20kg x 5 x 2 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 belt on 100kg x 1 115kg x 5 127.5kg x 3 142.5kg x 1 Felt good under the circumstances! SLDL 70kg x 5 110kg x 3 130kg x 2 152.5kg x 3 (misload - meant to be 155kg) 155kg x 5 I was very light headed at this point and almost called it quits, but had a good word with myself and did what was a very easy top set. Good. | ||
