Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Any comp plans? Stongman/Powerlifting...? Or just generally trying to get a bit stronger?

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	I might enter a few comps next year when I feel my lifts will be worth it, wouldn't mind doing strongman and powerlifting. But I have a sports hernia which has stopped me doing a lot of things over the past 8 months so it all depends how well I can work around that, it's the best it's ever felt right now so I'm going to try some sprints again soon, and have just started adding some direct ab work. Not many cases of them heeling on there own but I can't afford to go private.

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Inguinal hernia I presume? I had one about two years back, after I noticed it I had an op and it's 100% now (just keyhole surgery), don't even give it a second thought. Can't say it bothered me much having it but the thought of it strangulating was a bit off putting.

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	A sports hernia is different. It doesn't protrude like the other hernias. I can't really expain it that well but you can read about it here: http://orthopedics.about.com/od/sportsinjuries/a/hernia.htm I was passed around by the NHS for a while before someone finally told me it would be hard to get treated on the NHS as it's an injury that very few people specialise in, and non of them seem to work in my area.

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	26/08/2011 Squat 1 x 5 @ 65kg 1 x 5 @ 80kg 1 x 3 @ 97.5kg ---------------- 1 x 5 @ 105kg 1 x 5 @ 120kg 1 x 9 @ 137.5kg I was so dissapointed in myself with the way these were that I ended the session there and decided I'd repeat it on Sunday. 28/08/2011 Squat 1 x 5 @ 65kg 1 x 5 @ 80kg 1 x 3 @ 97.5kg ---------------- 1 x 5 @ 105kg 1 x 5 @ 120kg 1 x 11 @ 137.5kg SSB Squat 1 x 5 @ 60kg 1 x 5 @ 80kg 1 x 5 @ 100kg 1 x 5 @ 120kg 1 x 5 @ 140kg Pull Ups 10 x 5 (Done between sets) GHR 5 x 20 Sit Ups 5 x 20 Much better today, I brought my stance in and had my toes pointing out less and it seemed to make a big difference, and I could of pushed it to about 14 reps I reckon. I forgot how hard Safety bar squats are, every rep ends up being like a good morning. Really good session but I was wrecked towards the end, I was stumbling about getting on and off the GHR for the the sit ups. No videos today as I had to order a new charger for it as it suddenly stopped working.

Surprised how comfortable the 5 sets of 7 dips was. I forgot to do the 10 sets of 5 pull ups between sets , so I'll probably pop back in later to do them and some other lighter stuff.

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	Deadlift 1 x 5 @ 77.5kg 1 x 5 @ 95kg 1 x 3 @ 115kg ---------------- 1 x 3 @ 135kg 1 x 3 @ 152.5kg 1 x 6 @ 172.5kg SLDL 4 x 10 @ 85kg 1 x 10 @ 95kg Pull Ups 10 x 5 (Done between sets) Back Raise 5 x 15 Sit Ups 3 x 20 Decent session today, happy with how my deadlifts are going especially seen as I'm doing them all beltless at the moment. Progressing slowly with the SLDL's, my grip seems to be improving as on the one set at 80kg I did last week I was struggling to get through the 10 reps and today non were much of a problem.

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	Close Grip Bench Press 1 x 5 @ 45kg 1 x 5 @ 57.5kg 1 x 3 @ 67.5kg --------------- 1 x 3 @ 80kg 1 x 3 @ 90kg 1 x 6 @ 102.5kg DB Bench Press 5 x 10 @ 36kg Pull Ups 10 x 5 (Done between sets) Kroc Rows 1 x 10ea @ 30kg 1 x 10ea @ 35kg 1 x 28ea @ 40kg Really happy with today. I was more aggressive with the bench and it seemed to pay off, the 6th one was a tad risky as I had no spotter today. I usually do bench day on thursdays but I had no work today and I'm working tomorrow so thought I'd do it without a full day at work hindering me.

Form still not perfect but it's getting there and my confidence is growing. I did less sets of ghr and sit ups than usual as I'm going to do a mini session tonight that will include them. I got my mate to video from another angle after I watched my main set back as I realised it's hard to judge depth from were he did it from.

Hey mate, my name is Paul Dudley Member 632, 3628 posts SQ 200, BP 155, DL 282.5 637.5 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq	Good squatting as always champ. 145x10?! Fuuuuuuck that.

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	Cheers. I do enjoy squats, especially when they are going right like they are just now. It's deadlifts I don't look forward to, my little girl hands are just not made for it.

Grandad Goatse Member 2494, 5035 posts SQ 120, BP 110, DL 125 355.0 kgs @ 67kgs UnEq	Bench Press 8 x 3 @ 60kg Triceps Death 1 x 5/5/5/5/2 @ 80kg 1 x 5/5/5/2/0 @ 80kg Fat Bar Clean & Press 5 x 1 @ 60kg 5 x 1 @ 70kg 5 x 1 @ 75kg Extra session as my mate came round and wanted to train. Not sure why I was so bad at triceps death today, maybe it was because of the 8 sets of speed bench with minimal rest between sets, I'm not too sure. Getting used to the continental clean took some time, first time I tried 70 I failed, and I had a few failed attempts inbetween the good ones at 75kg. I think this is something I'll start doing more often.

This is the first time I've ever done a video of me doing military press, quite shocked to see how far back I lean at times. I'm still getting used to doing my last set with each rep touching the chest and trying to remember to get my head through, it's getting there slowly. Dips are still going up which I'm very happy with. I suck at chins and maybe I always will.
