My suit is a single ply Titan Super Centurion. Before this comp I used an old Titan Centurion. BigMacca said:Nice work of late Luke, everything is looking strong mate!

I *think* its working for me, the proof will come on July 3rd! Quick training update, cba doing everything: Bench: Sucked major balls. Will get it right on the day. Squats: Feeling good and strong. Deadlift: Feeling much better, really want a PB on comp day. | ||

The one in the guns and roses teeshirt. Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | Oh yeah I have a journal... So basically at the moment im trying out this stupid squat every day, bench and deadlift loads routine. I think im still adapting to it atm and my training has been inconsistent since the Brits for one reason or another. So ive been in the gym 3 days in a row then not for 3 days, stuff like that. So mixed results so far, all I know is that I have a lot of work to do before im remotely happy with what im lifting. Here is my training from today, will try and get back into the habit of updating. Monday 25th July: Warmup: Tennis ball, stretching GHR: 2 sets of 5 Squat: bar x lots 40kg x 5 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 125kg x 3 145kg x 2 155kg x 1 165kg x 1 175kg x 1 180kg x 1 140kg x 3 150kg x 3 160kg x 3 Sumo Deadlift: 60kg x 1 80kg x 1 100kg x 1 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 170kg x 1 - 1 rep PB 180kg x F - bad lack of technique Decent squats. I have a lot to learn on Sumo but although my tech sucks it is improving all the time. Will roll with it for now. | ||

The 165s were tough but got better each set. Floor press was good. | ||

Cheers bro. Luuuuuukey said:Sumo? Sumo indeed, thought I would give it a go. Partly out of curiosity, partly because my conventional deadlift had stalled and I figured a change might do me some good both physically and mentally, and partly because in theory I should be better at sumo since I am a smaller lifter and squatting is my strength. Friday 29th July: Squats: bar x lots 40kg x 5 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 125kg x 2 150kg x 1 160kg x 1 170kg x 1 180kg x 1 Rack Pull (from ~15 inches): 60kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 3 140kg x 3 160kg x 3 180kg x 3 190kg x 3 - 3 rep PB Strict Press: 30kg x 8 40kg x 5 50kg x 2 69kg x F - LOL wut Saturday 30th July: SSB Box squats: bar x lots 75kg x 5 95kg x 3 115kg x 3 135kg x 1 160kg x 1 170kg x 1 180kg x 1 190kg x 1 - PB knew I would nail it to this box 165kg x 3 165kg x 3 165kg x 3 Floor Press: 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 70kg x 1 80kg x 1 90kg x 1 95kg x 1 100kg x 1 102.5kg x 1 - PB 105 x F 80kg x 2 85kg x 2 90kg x 2 - 2 rep PB Hells yeah, lots of PBs, some volume PRs too.

Member 171, 2462 posts SQ 272.5, BP 140, DL 245657.5 kgs @ 80.2kgs Eq | 1st August 2011: GHR, 2 sets of 5 Squats: bar x lots 40kg x 5 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 125kg x 2 145kg x 2 160kg x 1 170kg x 1 180kg x 1 185kg x 1 - deepest I have taken 400lb+ raw 160kg x 2 162.5kg x 2 165kg x 2 Sumo Deadlifts: 60kg x 3 80kg x 2 100kg x 1 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 170kg x 1 175kg x 1 - PB 140kg x 1 Wide grip pullups, 3 sets of 2 Decent session, getting b**ched at constantly about depth is a pain in the ass but its 'for my own good' I suppose! Going from dead level to good depth doesn't seemed to have taken anything off my squat so its all about consistency and confidence getting that last little bit of depth for me. | ||
