 just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | Just to confirm that rumours of my death been greatly exaggerated Still plugging way steadily after my targets-for example today was 154/5 deadlifts. Unfortunately training is still taking a distant third behind family and work, but even slow progress is progess. Hitting a 500lb dead sometime before I retire might be nice though  | ||

Maybe something towards the summer might be good. to be honest, I'm only doing about half a dozen different lifts total at the minute and back squats are a bit of an afterthought. Fronties might be good though.I'm doing a fair bit of dumbbell benching as well, so that could be good too. | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | So after not getting anywhere near any targets at all and not actually updating this for a couple of years, here's the latest I've been struggling with a few injuries over the last few years and still am. The list of stuff I can't do seems to be getting longer by the day and very soon I'll be almost as much of a physical wreck as Ed! That being said, I'm still trtaining and trying to find stuff I can do if not pain free, at least without crying like a small child for days afterwards. I have decided to start benching again even if it hurts and is probably destined to lead me towards ahorrific shoulder injury because, well, everyone loves to bench don't they? I worked up today to a massive single at 84kg which felt like 150kg  I'll update this now and again if I don't fall apart in the meantime. And who knows, a bench pb might happen at some point-after all, I'm only 50kg of it now The targets on page one are still on the cards, but some of the exercises just aren't going to happen any time soon (squat for example) so I might modify them a bit. | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | A massive 90kg bench the other day. You never know, I might be back in three figures before Christmas Training later to try for a bit more. | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | 100 kilos on the bench this morning for the first time in a while It certainly wasn't textbook and isn't the 100kg for 14 I did a couple of years ago, but I'll take it. | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 11010 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | progressing quickly pal I'm still f**king about with 70k. I may have to start adding some weight or you'll get too far ahead! | ||

I may have to start adding some weight or you'll get too far ahead! Actually, I amazed myself to be honest. The hundred wasn't textbook, but it wasn't an absolute balls to the wal either. I reckon 105 before the end of the year should be there. Mind you, I deadlifted for the first time for a couple of years the other day and 50kg for 20 felt heavy enough  Still, slow and steady should do it I reckon. | ||

just smoked Ed and Neil - EAT MY GOAL Member 120, 1583 posts | Another single at 100kg today. I was tempted to try a second, but didn't fancy that painful roll of the bar off the chest and clang of plates on the floor as I try to slide out from under it | ||
