Was tempted to pop in for a heavy bench session as had some shorts and a vest in the boot (and probably some old wrist wraps too! - always ready to bench me!!) but then the gym would probably have been shut. Training looks good. You're always welcome but we powerlifters only train in the gym tue and thurs nights and Sunday mornings - rest of the time it full of rowers! We do have a nice competition bench and eleiko weights if you fancy benching! | ||

Member 2891, 183 posts SQ 212.5, BP 160, DL 240612.5 kgs @ 102.4kgs UnEq | Last sun - no-one down so raw bench work:- warm up then 5x5x4x4x3x135kg one rep better than last time! Tue Squat raw (following 6 mile hill walk and one tiny sandwich for lunch lol!) 8x60 8x90 6x110 4x130 2x150 inzer max suit on 2x170 1x190 1x205 1x215 felt so much better/supportive than centurion and yes I know it shouldnt!. Tired after walk so tried some one third squats (10 holes on rack) to work my weak lockout 3x230 3x245 3x260 1x270 all good strong walkouts and down to bars. More there but first time I have tried this - hopefully will make my 235 comp squat target for european masters feel light in comparison. Enough for today big bench session thursday | ||

Member 2891, 183 posts SQ 212.5, BP 160, DL 240612.5 kgs @ 102.4kgs UnEq | Sunday Bench Manyxbar 8x60 6x90 5x110 3x125 2x135 comp shirt on with emphasis on getting to chest above sternum (legal in other words!) 2 board 3x155 1 board 2x165 chest 1x170 fail 1x175 fail 1x170 fail - for some reason just couldnt hit the sweet spot today nothing would even come off chest! Must be knackered as 2 weeks ago managed a 182.5 off chest! Put it down as just one of those days. 3 or 4 shirted sessions left to get it sorted! Losing another couple of kilos bodyweight will help to ease it in to chest hopefully... down to 95.8kg today. 94.5 by next sunday would be nice! close grip 6x100 5x110 5x120 1x130 definitely wacked! | ||

Crazy when a couple of weeks ago I got a 177 and 182 off the chest. Measured chest - has increased to 49 inches from 48 a few weeks ago. Clearly have outgrown shirt with all the heavy board work! Damn 3 weeks to go and I will have to break in another shirt!!!! Spose I have to look on the positive side that I should be stronger. Have a new Fury 46 which might stretch more being thinner material. Give it a go next Sunday! Effing equipped gear never simple!!! Deadlifts Raw 6x70 5x120 3x150 2x170 1x190 suit on 1x205 1x215 1x227.5 1x240 Over the moon with that especially after such a s**t bench session and no zip in legs after Tuesday's heavy squats. Every cloud has a silver lining.... | ||
