I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235 595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator	I think those are good comp numbers for your goals, Roberto - because with those numbers you SHOULD go 9/9, which would give you 500 and 4 PBs. Makes a load of sense.

still a cock Member 55, 1213 posts SQ 50, BP 25, DL 55 130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq	saw the vids, the 182 looked the easiest of all the squats on the day, can't be far off 200 I reckon.

Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255 585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Like I was saying before Rob, 190 is not at all unrealistic for you. I guess with it being your first competition being conservative is a sensible strategy but if you were going all out I think 170/180/190 would be eminently gettable.

Is partial to the odd bender. Member 6, 10239 posts SQ 280, BP 192.5, DL 317.5 790.0 kgs @ 102kgs Eq	Post Edited: 17.04.2007 @ 21:16 PM Rob I think your squat attempts are crazy. By all means do an easy 170 opener then nail a good second lift(185), this leaves the path open for a 190 attempt. The way the 182.5 went up there is easily the strength for 185, thats not taking into consideration the buzz that the day will add to your lifts. 170/185/190

Tony - I see where you're coming from and I don't disagree that I'm sure there is more in the squat then I've put down as my lifts, but I'm just taking this competition as learning experience. There will be plenty of other comps later in the year where I can go all out if I want to. Aiming for 500 (and thus 4 PBs as Rick pointed out) isn't exactly taking it easy anyway!

I agree with Alan about the speed. As long as you can control the weight it's fine, you don't need to pause so you can take advantage of the stretch reflex - which as we know from benching, can add a fair bit of power. You're good for 190 surely, but I appreciate why you might not want to go for it, 9/9 is a good goal, would be a shame to ruin it by being overzealous. As you say there're plenty of other comps.

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	18th April, Bench, Adlington Dynamic Stretching 5 mins Bench Paused 20 x 20 x 2 40 x 8 55 x 5 70 x 5 80 x 3 90 x 1 95 x 3 2 Boards 100 x 5 Seated Face Pulls 12.5 x 15 x 4 Miniband Pushdowns 50 x 2 Hammer Curls 20lbs x 20 x 2 Stretching 10 mins Left elbow didn't really want to do anything heavy, so left it there. Cumulative effect of heavy squats and pressing no doubt, just needs some rest. Plan until comp will now be this: Thursday: Deadlift (195x2,202.5x1), Abs Monday: Squat (160x1), Light GMs Wednesday: Bench (95x1), Light Assistance Friday: Cardio or empty bar work.. something to stay loose Sunday: Comp Weighed in at 109.8 on Andy's scales in my training gear, so should be fine to be under 110 come the morning of the comp (providing I have a good dump beforehand).
