I still need quite a bit of work with singles, all my training on bench has been for reps. Slowly but surely though i seem to be getting closer to an almost respectable bench.  | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | After careful consideration with the fatman i have decided to enter the Adlington comp in December. I was going to leave competing until next year but i really fancied doing the NW equipped in December, however i'm not going to spend £35 on a membership only for it to expire a few weeks later. Therefore the Adlington comp it is. I have never done any cleans, jerks on anything remotely resembling weightlifting. Not to worry, i have a month and a half to teach myself these exercises, how hard could it be. Don't really have any expectations for the comp, just looking forward to having a go. Mondays training will be working on push pressing to the front again as well as attempting to learn how to do cleans. Other days training will consist of powerlifting exercises as normal with a view to competing in the NW unequipped in April and hopefully nationals the following summer. Tonights training: Monday 20th October Push pressing was terrible, the weight felt so heavy in my hands tonight. I have alot of work to do on these before the comp. Push Press 50k x 5 70k x 5 90k x 3 95k x 3 100k x f,f 100k x 1+f 90k x 5 Wide grip chins BW x 5,5,5,5,5,5,5,5 Close Grip Bench 60k x 5 80k x 5 100k x 5 120k x 4 100k x 10 Cleans (using the term broadly) 60k x 1,1 70k x 1,1 80k x 1,1 85k x 1,1 90k x 1 | ||

Member 379, 49 posts SQ 310, BP 170, DL 290770.0 kgs @ 96kgs Eq | Hi there Adam, Lots of work there you must be brimming with enthusiasm now. The reason you probably had such a good session is because you had a good break. Are you really ding the Olympic lifting comp? it would be interesting to see that! It must suit you being back over there. I will post my log soon as I have had an infected leg gotten when I scratched on coral when snorkeling while on Holiday last week, so I have had an inforced rest as well, heres hoping I can start my comeback soon. Good luck. Dave. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Thats a bit of a bummer about the infection mate, you just can't seem to get a good run going without some sort of setback. How is the hip now? Yeah i'm going to have a wee go at this Adlington comp in December, but no plans to convert long term to weightlifting. Training has been going pretty well for me during the last few months, however it was going well until about April of this year, i just had a bit of a bad spell for a few months. Deciding to do the comp does help as well, i'm much more strict with the diet again. No more missing meals! | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Wednesday 22nd October Run, 20mins, worked up to 14.5k/h for the last 5 mins. X-trainer, 30mins. Thursday 23rd October Benching tonight, went pretty well. Doing 5x5 with 127.5k is equal to my previous best, ever so slowly I seem to be getting somewhere with Bench. Today's 5x5 felt reasonably comfortable so I'm hopeful 130 should go next week. BW still seems to be holding about 86/87k, so i'm good deal lighter than when I was hitting these numbers before. Bench 60k x 5 80k x 5 100k x 5 127.5k x 5,5,5,5,5 Seated DB Shoudler Press 35k x 5 40k x 5 Some Machine Rows and Rotator Stuff to finish. | ||
