I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Saturday 15th November, Adlington Benching with Pete and Andy. Went round the M6 way and collected Andy due to Wanderers home game. Did I mention I hate football? Good bo***cks-talking opportunity, though, and always fun to show off the microcar . Speed Bench 20x30 20x20 20x20 20x20 50x5 70x3 80x3 90x3 100x3 110x3 120x3 long pauses this set only 110x3 110x3 doing this makes more sense than what I have been doing (descending back to 70) 110x3 Fin. Managed to rip one leg of my jeans half-way off at the top and back of the thigh, so into town to buy some new ones. Accidentally bought two new suits (one mid-blue, one cream) while I was there. Hey ho . | ||

Have to I say I shall make a point of coming in to see you in it when first I'm wearing it on a training day . I was sceptical about a lighter-coloured suit on me, but these two both seemed to work rather well. It'll help leaven the half-dozen dark ones, anyway. | ||

Squat in the centurion 50 20x10 70x5 115x5 then straps up for 160x3 180x2 then wraps for 205x2 225 borderline 240 in 250 high by a little, fell forward a touch and didn't quite get down 205x3 all just a tiny bit high The 205x3 was a second attempt; Alan put me straight on after the high 250, but I lost all sensation in my lower legs (from having the wraps on too long) and walked it out and lurched it back in before I collapsed. Took five and did it right. Not bad, then, but nothing like the magnificent squatting demonstrated by both Joe and Pete! | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Thanks guys. I can feel now exactly what I need to get up and down well, if I can squat 225+ with the same form as I did the backoffs tonight they'll be NICE. Got the dig right and sat back enough to keep the suit happy there . | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Wednesday 19th November, Adlington Benching with Jake, and later with Pete, both of whom had the best sessions I've ever seen from them. Mine was not that good. Bench 20x30 20x20 20x20 20x20 50x8 70x5 90x3 110x2 120 130 Titan Katana 52" on: 150 to 2 board 160 to 1 board 170 180 185xx here the flinching on the descent (more of which later) knocked me off line, and I threw it back over my face. 165 decent 165 very decent 165 not bad The problem is simple. My forearms are still sore under weight (and I suspect still slightly swollen) from the aftermath of Monday heavy squatting. About half-way down, they give me a twinge, and I (usually) flinch, which does not lend itself to a smooth fast descent or a good line. This will not, of course, be a problem on the day. Next Wednesday I'll go for a Nurofen Plus or similar rather than just Vitamin I, and see if that gives me a nicer last session. Post-comp, the plan is to change my training days around so that heavy bench is after deadlifts rather than after squats. I may need to consider moving my hands out a bit too, though I'd much rather not. The big downside of changing my training days around would be that (doing it in what seems to be the most sensible way) I would no longer ever be working in with Pete, which would be a great shame. On the other hand, we'd still be training together, just not doing the same lift. In any case, if it's needed, it's needed, and it's looking like it is. | ||
