Joni, Adlington is going to be my first choice now and I will only be training at Sugden when I have to. This is no slight on you guys as I love training with you all and you are great training partners, but Sugden is a s**t gym. I focus so much better at Adlington; which is also making it increasingly harder to do so when in Sugden as all the annoyances that I once took for granted are just so more obvious. aye, fair play. Besides, Sugden Barbell is a frame of mind, not a physical location  | ||

 Picca Boo Member 16, 1204 posts SQ 140, BP 130, DL 200470.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | Fair enough dude, Sugden IS a s**t gym. It's bad enough squatting and deadlifting but trying to do Oly lifts (which I want to do loads more of) is a nightmare. | ||

 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | More good lifting there, Rob. I'm up for a friendly race to 400 - I want to be there pretty soon anyway! | ||

Boards went well, I was a bit disappointed not to get the 300lbs as the 135 was nice and smooth; it just totally stuck to the boards though, despite a nice descent - so it was either lack of strength or energy, not form! Bit of discussion with Alan and the plan is to swap to 2 boards now, the 4 board work has been nice but my sticking point has moved lower. Finished off with a good chat about Koklyaev, Olympic lifting, communism and how China are set to dominate in the future. | ||

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Cheers Jonny! If I know Olly he'll have done 140 for a single tonight. It's funny how there isn't a lot in it between our boards but he is obviously a much stronger bencher, probably because my shoulders are so weak to his - my chest strength isn't a million miles behind. I think. | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | Nice work mate! I think the difference is some shoulder strength, full range tricep strength and experience. Nothing more. The shoulder strength is easy to take care of. But I doubt you'll have any close grip benching in the routine for a while, and for me, thats the key. I still maintain the best exercise for a raw bencher is narrow grip benching. And hell, I was told that by a 600lb bencher! | ||

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Arrived at Adlington with my shiny new key, put it in the lock. Nothing. Didn't work. 5 minutes of various attempts with different angles and different door handle positions. Still no joy. Various conspiracy theories floating in my head now; is there a secret members entrance round the back? Is it a dud key? f**k it, let's ring Millsy and get his advice. After a quick chat, I realise I have been using my house key for the past 5 minutes. Try the correct key, bingo, I'm in. A quick 5 minutes of searching for light switches and it's time to get on with the workout!! 10th March, Lower, Adlington Dynamic Warmup 5 mins Speed Below Knee Rack Pull 1 min rest 20 x 10 65 x 8 85 x 5 115 x 3 x 8 Squats 65 x 8 95 x 3 110 x 8 x 3 Good Mornings 20 x 8 50 x 8 60 x 8 70 x 8 x 3 Stretching 10 mins Light off, lock door (with correct key), home! | ||

Giving close grips a run for a while, thought I'd get an accurate idea of where I am with them. Not too bad, head wasn't really in 102.5 but 100 for my first time on them is pleasing. Bit of assistance, been full of a cold since Thursday so my energy tails off quite badly towards the end of sessions. | ||
