such a bitch Member 797, 303 posts SQ 225, BP 147.5, DL 237.5 610.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Thought I'd start a little log to remind myself what I've been doing! I've competed in powerlifting for 5 years (now 21 years old), lift for both the GBPF and the BDFPA. Bodyweight has been up to 81, but is now back down to 76 after a broken hand and various other things! Current PB's in competition are; 215/130/232.5 @ 76.1 unequipped (GBPF British Classic last Sunday) 272.5/165/250 @ ~80 equipped. Since breaking my hand I've been doing a lot more variation training, getting strong in the places where I was to be honest very poor! Competed on the weekend at the British Classic as above, PB total whilst still struggling with a pec tear/injury.

Still having treatment on the pec, was very cautious being in a shirt, but to be honest felt a lot more comfortable than raw. Lot of warm up sets etc. 20k x 25, 40k x 20...etc Bench shirt: 130 140 150 all x 1 Happy with this, glad to not have any pain

such a bitch Member 797, 303 posts SQ 225, BP 147.5, DL 237.5 610.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Wednesday: Bit of a faggot session to be honest, just did ab work, tricep work and had the pec treated. I train with Bournemouth Barbell in Bournemouth (obviously). All my sessions are coached by Paul Rees. Train with about 50 different athletes across 7 days, from Powerlifters to Sprinters. www.bournemouthbarbell.co.uk

I was up at a 145kg raw bench before the 'suspected' pec tear. Before that I hadn't really trained in kit for a while. Best bench in comp was 165kg in July 2011. That was when I was working with ~130k raw bench. I think I could do a bit more now when I get back into the swing of things, 150k on Tuesday was in no way a max effort, just dont want to mess it up before the Western European Cup at the end of this month!

such a bitch Member 797, 303 posts SQ 225, BP 147.5, DL 237.5 610.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Thanks everyone. So from last Friday: Deadlift - 200, 220, 240 xf Seem to fail too easy when it starts getting hard, need to learn to grind the bas*d! Went back to 150/180 for 3/5's trying to work on tekkers. Saturday: Didn't plan on training, but my knee sleeves arrived, so trained anyway Squat - 160, 180, 200, 210. Wanted 220 but grinded the st out of 210. Left it there for Monday's sesh. Knee sleeves are awesome Bench press paused raw - 100, 120, 130. Still testing the pec tear, feeling better now but by no means healed. I will be cranking up the treatment and resting it a lot more after the Western European cup next week. 'Assistance' - Bullst chat for biceps. Guns for show, bro. Monday So freshers started on Sunday night, slept for three hours, went to work all day then trained. I was fked after this... Suit bottoms; 180, 200, 220 Full kit 250, 275, 290xf Failed 290, pretty gutted as 275 felt smooth. I think the set up was st, took ages to get into place and it felt heavy as fk! Walk out with 300....took 2 attempts as I didn't realise how heavy 300 was LOL. Nearly died. Today (Tuesday) Shirted bench press 100, 120, 140, 150, 160, 165xf Failed 165 on lockout, really thought I had it so I guess thats why I failed? Took it for granted. Anyway 165 would have been a PB at 80kg bodyweight, so VERY happy I gave it a good go still sitting at 76kg Thats all the Powerlifting training, have also done a lot of powercleans around 90k.

I must admit it doesn't give me the 'fear factor' anymore. I find that confidence is half the battle, especially with equipped lifting. Feeling good though, will probs open around 260 Wednesdays training; I was in a bad mood. 2 x clean + 1 jerk 60, 80, 90, 100, 105xf Snatch, 40, 50, 60, 65, 67, 70 Pretty good really. Considering I use 'powerlifting' tekkers. I.e no technique at all. Finished with some heavy tricep work with a mind on equipped lifting for next week. Thursday (today) Equipped deadlift 160, 200, 220, 230, 240, 250xf. Failed 250 just below knee. Same old can't grind a lift, confident it will go on the day though 225 x 2. Opening weight for next weeks comp Bodyweight this morning 75.1. Worrying! But strength seems ok so who am I to complain! Should have competed at 74? Nevermind, the focus is still on becoming a lean 83k lifter by the time I become a senior lifter. 2.5 years to go!
