Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 01.11.2012 @ 12:27 PM by strengthathlete Right, Didn't feel fantastic today mind not with me, possibly starting to get a cold. Went training with my old man he shows me how it's done on the bench. Racks Pin Two: ( Mid Knee height) So a farly long pull. 1x5 on bar 1x5 on 70kg 1x5 on 100kg 1x5 on 130kg 1x4 on 160kg 1x3 on 185kg Fast not too bad atall. 1x2 on 200kg 441lbs, this was pretty good so decided to do another set. 1x3 on 200kg Final set abit tougher, but not totally fresh yet, Be nice If I can peak to 240 off this low position before this comp but it prob won't happen I have doubled 225kg of it before off pin two. Next week I will try maybe going reps and sets on 210-220 of mid knee height. pin 2. Bench: 1x5 barpaused 1x5 on 40kgpaused 1x4 on 50kgpaused 1x3 on 60kgpaused 1x3 on 70kgpaused 1x3 on 85kg Paused. Hoping to open on this on 25th of Oct. So it's looking possible. ALthough not entirely easy but I went fairly heavy Tuesday. Incline: 1x8 on 35kg 1x8 on 35kg Tricep Pulldowns: 2x10 on 22.5kg Front Raises: 2x8 on 10 kg left arm 2x8 on 10kg on right arm. Curls: 2x8 on 10kg left arm 2x8 on 10 kg right arm (Concentration Curls) Standing OHP: 1x8 on 35kg 1x6 on 40kg Not too bad a session, I don't know if it's good or not having a really small disparity off the floor and of pin 2 mid knee height. Really trying to build this up now though.

strengthathlete		Today's poor session with NO enthusiam nor motivation	05-11-2012 @ 20:46
Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Freezing my arse of made effort to go to gym, and was totally a waste of time, because just wasn't up to it at all could not be bothered in the slightest. Deads: 2x5 on 60kg 1x3 on 90kg 1x3 on 110kg 2x2 on 135kg 1x2 on 150kg WOrked up to 80% 1x1 on 170kg, Fairly easy but just didn't want to push it as still 20 days til comp. Not sure when I will try peak up not 100% on my opener wanted to open with 185kg but not sure it's going to happen, or possible open 180, Really wanted to just break 200kg on deadlift in this 3 lift, but not sure whether it's going to happen. End of this week I will need to know where I stand though Think it will be a 180 opener and try double 190kg but it's not going to be easy by any means. Bench: 2x5 on bar 2x5 on 60kg 2x3 on 70kg this for some reason didn't feel to amazing, my problem is if I am not up for it I seriously might aswell not bother. Come home couldn't even eat my lunch just not hungry which is not normal for me after. SO basically it proves how s**te my session was today. If I do this comp I will be glad I can deload and slowly peak up for mid of next year.

strengthathlete		Tried Deads and And Heavy Bench	06-11-2012 @ 19:39
Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Just did abit in the Garage today, but it was not very good Got a few vids I will try upload later tonight, DOn't know why I did deads today and hoping to be good when I went fairly heavy yesterday very stupid wont do any til Sunday now. 2x5 on bar 1x5 on 25kg 1x5 on 45kg 1x5 on 55kg 1x3 on 65kg 1x2 on 75kg paused fast. 1x3 on 85kg paused pb. Incline Bench: 1x3 on 65kg 2x5 on 55kg Skull Crushers: 2x10 on 20kg 2x10 on 20kg Kick Backs: 2x10 on 4.5kg left arm 2x10 on 4.5kg right arm. Deads: 1x4 on 70kg 1x3 on 90kg 1x3 on 110kg 1x3 on 130kg 1x3 on 150kg 1x1 on 165kg 1x1 on 180kg This didn't feel as good as it should I just dont like having depressing sessions I will probably have a long break so. I need to stop over training aswell this plays a massive part of my slow deadlift gains.

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25563 posts Administrator	is your comp THIS sunday ?? i wouldnt do any more , my advice would be to be brave with your choice of lifts ...i always got scared and went for a wanky second lift that left me with too much to do for a nice PB on the 3rd .... so nail a nice opener and just have a crack on lift 2 ... some people run out of steam for the deads (kenders !!) but usually the days fun should give you a bit of oomph to nail that 200 for a splendid day out ! best of luck

Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Hello Boar, Thanks buddy nah my competition is 25th of November, 3 lift divisional qualification for the British Next year. Advice what to try do on deadlift, it's tough though must say because trying to hit pbs on deadlift in less than a month in competitions is not easy mate. Thanks for popping around.

Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5 570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq	Only you will now how your feeling on the competition day, however my thoughts are Squat. Open 140 Safe & Deep. Then 150. Then 155-160. Bench. Open comfortable 80, listen to commands and dont move feet. Then 90. Then 95-100. Deadlift. Open comfortable 175. Then 190. Then 200-205. My guess is a 450-455 total.

Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Thank you Finch for that adivce mate, Yeah I always make a conscious effort to go very deep in training then you don't get any surprises then do you. Looking forward to the squat I must say.

strengthathlete		Great Squat and Rack Session	10-11-2012 @ 12:47
Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 10.11.2012 @ 12:54 PM by strengthathlete Right, felt a runny nose today but it was great training and these are days I love to have wish I had them more often, less training is better for my progress, hence not overtraining. Never get someone to video they always feck it up! Squats: 2x5 on bar 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 80kg 1x3 on 100kg 1x3 on 110kg 1x2 on 120kg 1x2 on 130kg 1x1 on 140kg Video below matey fked it and only got the one rep but this was pb 1x2 on 152.5kg he I said you recording then he said yeah am know before he pressed it and unforunately only got the 2nd rep which is below but wasn't to tough considering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSkItqHEyaQ&feature=youtu.b... Drop Set 1x1 on 140kg Never get someone else to video I have learnt my lesson. Then took out 170kg went down 4-5 inches which did feel fking heavy lets say I wouldn't of fancied trying to squat it not yet anyhow. Racks PIN ONE: 1x5 bar 1x4 on 70kg 1x3 on 100kg 1x3 on 120kg fast 1x3 on 150kg 1x3 on 170kg 1x3 on 200kg Video below not too bad, Defo think I will do this in comp I am not much disparity so it's all good and I will do the bottom part and I can lock it out okay so all is good. Not fresh eiter prob do a 215-220kg on this on be as you see it's below my knee very long movement good for feeling the weight though. 1x3 on 200kg video below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1B27zcU6AY&feature=youtu.b... Still struggling abit but it's not a nice position for a tall person and I definitely find it eaier off floor. Sure I have a chance of this in this comp. Did last time with reps off pin one.

Thanks Bill Yeah alot is how you feel on the day mate, Alot of it is I get alot of anxiety pre comp that single lift I was terrified to be honest, but once got that first lift I was so buzzed up and ready that I pulled more than I ever had in training so, Hopefully get a nice 140 opener then go 150kg then go from there, I am 110% dedicated and I will put all my energy and life into this comp, I will qualify with a good improved total under 20's 93kg class, then will have months next year til British I can't wait.

strengthathlete		Bench Day	11-11-2012 @ 18:21
Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Today felt fairly good hitting it hard only with 5 days which I don't normally do and have to be careful.

Drugs cheat Member 3860, 630 posts SQ 335, BP 210, DL 330 875.0 kgs @ 108kgs UnEq	Good luck on the day mate. Put your opening squat at what you know you can get easy then take it from there, same with bench and deads. Listen to your body when you warm up, and dont do to many reps you only need to feel the weight, if tou think its going well you can up your opener. worst thing in the world is failing first lifts and getting fustrated with yourself. Take your time so everything is right and listen to refs signals. Your have a great day I realy hope you lift well

strengthathlete		Deads and Squats	14-11-2012 @ 21:07
Member 3632, 458 posts SQ 202.5, BP 122.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 104.5kgs UnEq	Right, Went training with one off the old woking lads it was pretty decent. Certainly Can't complain! Squats: 2x5 on bar 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 90kg 2x2 on 110kg 1x2 on 120kg 1x2 on 130kg 1x3 on 140kg Opener. 2nd Attempt 1x3 on 150kg. PB. Bench: 2x5 on bar 2x5 on 40kg Plus Two Red Bands. 1x5 on 40kg plus 2red Bands. 1x5 on 60kg plus 2red and Purple Bands. 1x3 on 60kg Plus 2 red and Purple Bands, felt extremely good actually. good to try something different. 1x5 on 30kg plus 2 red and purple bands. Deads: 1x4 on 70kg 1x3 on 100kg. 1x3 on 120kg 1x3 on 140kg 1x2 on 160kg 1x2 on 175kg, Really Felt alright considering squats probably better speed than normal looking in fantastic shape me thinks in this comp. this big deadlift might happen after all. After all it's 87% of My Projectory 1rm 200kg and the speed did feel phenomenal throughout. Even on my sticky point. Loving it at the moment. Final Session on Friday Bench heavy and Racks than that's my lot.
