Member 2509, 123 posts SQ 335, BP 237.5, DL 380 952.5 kgs @ 106.4kgs UnEq	Todays efforts Squat - Belt and knee sleeves 60 x 10 140 x 5 220 x 5 260 x 5 280 x 5 300 x 5 I realise this mimics last fridays training, however I was not happy with my top set as I lost form on a couple of reps. I tend not to move on until I can do them properly. Heavy Bench 60 x 10 100 x 5 140 x 5 180 x 5 200 x 5 210 x 3 x 2 sets - short arms are great a times!!! Deadlift 140 x 5 220 x 3 260 x 3 300 x 3 320 x 3 330 x 3 Very hard indeed, one more week of this training to go and I can back off the heavy iron somewhat.

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	MasterT said: Bottom of the squat Pause squats Box Squats Good mornings Got a couple of questions about good mornings as I'm always a little uncertain about them, if that's alright. Should I perform them arch backed? should my foot placement be the same as for my squat? how far down should I go? And roughly what poundage should I use considering I've got a max squat of 185. They're just one of those exercises that have never quite felt right for me.

Feet in squat stance egs slightly bent, hips back rather than bending down. You should come down to above parallel to prevent bar roll and drive the hips forward on the lift.

That's how I've been doing them so I guess I'll keep at it and focus driving through with my hips

doesnt work hard enough in the gym Member 1492, 2138 posts SQ 170, BP 145, DL 195 510.0 kgs @ 112kgs UnEq	Ok then - would you structure the training something like : 3 - 4 days per week, 2 of which have a squat and a deadlift in the same session - one being "competition" style and another working on mesocycles for weak areas ? The other 1-2 sessions would be less back and hip intensive with more emphasis on benching (with benching also done on sq/dl days too) - you've mentioned liking dips, cleans and o-head stuff ... anything else you'd put in there ? How many exercises per session ? Could you outline a sample program ? (exercises, sets and reps)

How many exercises per session ? Could you outline a sample program ? (exercises, sets and reps) No, training should always be based around functionality for a sport. You have asked for an awful lot of information to be honest. If your sport is powerlifting then your training needs to be primarily based around the three lifts with assistance work (and this is only work that assists the primary lifts) at all times. What you need to consider for a training cycle is correct execution of a lift – now while it is possible, probably likely you can lift more than you can in good form the consideration is will you be limited in reaching your overall maximum possible weight? – The answer is usually yes. So in construction, if you are (using bench press as an example) performing three sessions roughly broken down into a heavy day (1-3 reps), a speed day (low reps multiple sets) or a moderate rep day you need to not necessarily take what your maximum lift is overall, but what your maximum lift is maintaining good form then take the prescribed percentage within that range.

I think it was more the openness of your question which was an issue rather than him not wanting to divulge his 'secrets'. Try asking something more specific I bet he'd help. He seems to know his shizzle

I need far more specifics than you have given to give you an educated response really. All I could offer is very generic information with the information provided.
