Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 27.03.2013 @ 21:44 PM by BThomson Press Session: Bench Press - 2 x 6 @ 67.5kg, 1 x 5 @ 67.5kg Push Press - 4 x 8 @ 50kg Weighted Dips - 3 x 9 @ BW + 10kg Wrist wraps making a massive difference to my push press, didn't go too high on the weight so I could smooth out my footing. Also had a couple tries at lifting an 85kg atlas stone, definitely something I'd like more experience of.

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Been a while since I posted. Done a conditioning session and a few cardio sessions too but won't bother to post them. Yesterdays Pull session: Deadlift - 1 x 10 @ 120kg, 1 x 6 @ 140kg, 3 x 3 @ 160kg Bent Row - 3 x 8 @ 75kg Power Shrugs - 3 x 8 @ 100kg Wide Grip Pull-ups - 3 x 6 @ BW - full depth, explosive Pretty happy, 3 x 3 at my last 1RM. Can't really complain about that. Will be re-testing my 1RMs next weekend, should be fun.

Front squat is coming along nicely, weight going up and form getting constantly better.

A bodybuilder friend of mine is writing my programs for me. Starting a max. strength program after next weekend, so I'll post that up once I have it.

So are you training for functional strength or just bulking up?

Yeah, testing them this Saturday, looking forward to it. I'll keep you posted but I'm hoping to add 50kg (ish). vausie said:good stuff mate i used to weigh 68kg (not tht im much heavier now ) where u live Nice, how long have you been training? Got a pretty tasty deadlift. I'm training up in Aberdeen, born and bred. ianakajohn said: So are you training for functional strength or just bulking up? To be honest I started off training purely to battle a raging case of scrawny but being around powerlifters, olympic lifters and strongmen is having an affect. Goal at the minute is purely to get my total up to a point where I can do a powerlifting comp and not embarrass myself, possibly towards the end of the year if I can progress fast enough. Wouldn't say no to a bit of under 90's strongman though .

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Press Session: Bench - 3 x 8 @ 65k Push Press - 1 x 8 @ 52.5kg, 3 x 6 @ 55kg, 1 x 4 @ 55kg Weighted Dips (to failure) - 1 x 9, 1 x 8, 1 x 7 @ BW + 10kg Bench was pretty easy to be honest, reckon I could probably hit the same reps with a higher weight. Push press was okay. Dips were pretty disappointing but I had played a full game of 6-a-side before the session so I was well and truly trashed by the end of it.

Not really trained any events but I'd like to work them into my conditioning, just to begin with.

Rest of the session was pretty standard.
