 jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 5090 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 290690.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Thanks beige This morning: Back in Slough now for Easter and my old gym are charging a joining fee now, so it would work out at £40 for 3 weeks  Bit steep imo, so I'm blagging a few free 5 day passes at a couple of other gyms. At Langely lesiure centre today: Bench: 52.5 kg x 8 65 kg x 5 77.5 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 102.5 kg x 4 fail 5 s**tty bench meant I had to do half a rep to get it out of the rack. Will drop to 100 kg next time. Squat: Squat rack had fixed safety bars which were too high meaning I hit them on the way down  so I had to walk the squats out of the rack for about a mile.60 kg x 5 80 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 (wrist wraps on) 120 kg x 5 140 kg x 5 145 kg x 1 fail 2 Lost my groove on the 2nd rep, and had to dump it by letting it slide off my back onto the floor. Have always wanted to do this as it looks badass (preferably after finishing a set though). Power clean: 40 kg x 3 60 kg x 3 80 kg x 3 90 kg x 3 95 kg x 2 fail 3 70 kg x 4 Pull ups: 10,8 crappy slidey bars so I abandoned this for lat pull down Lat Pull down: 98 kg x 8 105 kg x 5 111 kg (stack) x 6 Preacher curl: 10 kg x 5 16 kg x 10 18 kg x 5 fail 6 both arms EZ preacher curl: +20 kg x 10 (straight after DB's) Facepulls 3 sets Comments: Haven't benched, squatted or cleaned for 10 days so was expecting numbers to be down a little. Squatting in particular seems to be affected by time off for me, but have no doubt I'll be back at 150+ x 5 soon. Traps, upper and lower back were feeling sore on Monday and Tuesday still, but are fine today. | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 5090 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 290690.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Langely again: Strict Press (paused between reps) 40 kg x 5 50 kg x 5 60 kg x 5 75 kg x 5 Push Press: 60 kg x 3 80 kg x 3 90 kg x 3 95 kg x 3 100 kg x 3 = PB 105 kg x fail Haven't done push press for 10 days so was expecting to do worse than this. The triple on 100 required pressing out on the last rep, but think it might be a PB as the plates here haven't got the rubber worn off . 105 attempt wasn't even close, no real leg drive there.Deadlift from the floor: First time since mid January 60 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 140 kg x 4 Add belt and chalk (no straps) 180 kg x 2 200 kg x 6 (no hitch) PB Add straps 220 kg x 1 The weight felt heavy off the floor, but flew up when it reached knee level. There was a little more there on the 200 set, but didn't want to push it too hard after Sunday. Put straps on for 220 because I thought I might need to hitch, but it went up cleanly and fast. Pull ups: Rather than use the lat pull down, I used straps for pull ups on the rubber bar, not sure which is gayer lol BW x 10,7,7,7 Weigh in at end of session in clothes + shoes: 101.0 kg 1 hour 40 | ||

The secret to will's success Member 2924, 342 posts SQ 170, BP 140, DL 235545.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Got your face book mate Will edited all vids and said if I didn't fall over like a clumsy fat (c)word then would have had 1st on event. You got any more comps lined up or thoughts for any? I'm gonna try and bully Will in to putting on 105kg at Stives perhaps you can help me. My back is still a little sore lol | ||

My back is still a little sore lol Haha, everyone makes mistakes though. Sounds like you'd have placed higher if they had kept the barell in with the log too! I'm looking for a suitable novice comp (with a little higher weights than COTF) to do later this year. I've always wanted to compete in St Ives actually, and have wondered why there isn't a 105 class. I'd definitely be interested in that, but if the weights are any heavier than the U90's then I've got some serious gym work to do first! Any comps planned for you ? | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 5090 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 290690.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Last session at Langely Bench: 52.5 kg x 8 65 kg x 5 77.5 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 100 kg x 6 CGBP: 80 kg x 5 Paused each rep Better than 102.5 x 4 last time! Got to keep things moving forward now on bench Squats: Working on form now. Need a slightly wider stance to stop knees buckling in. Focusing on pushing knees out too. Focusing on a spot on the wall (was hard doing this squatting in front of a mirror), and deep breath before each rep, pushing stomach out. 60 kg x 5 80 kg x 5 100 kg x 5 120 kg x 5 140 kg x 3 - too much weight to focus on form 130 kg x 5 130 kg x 5 130 kg x 5 135 kg x 5 140 kg x 4 fail 5 Could have monged up the last rep, but didn't want to get back into bad habbits. Hams feel more worked than normal, was lucky that the volume didn't kill me too. Power Clean: 50 kg x 3 70 kg x 3 85 kg x 3 95 kg x 2 fail 3 Pull ups (straps): BW x 11,10,8,7 Much better pull ups than last time | ||

The secret to will's success Member 2924, 342 posts SQ 170, BP 140, DL 235545.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Hey Mr T I suffered from knees buckling in. Got some tips from a well respected powerlifter. As you come down try to get your weight on the outside edge of your feet. Keep em flat obviously. Then when you burst up Push on the outside of your feet. Incorporates more of your leg muscles and prevents your knees trying to touch. I went light 100 for reps couple sessions just to nail technique, great results just after 2 sessions. Good luck mate | ||
