 ta-ra then Member 564, 922 posts SQ 220, BP 175, DL 285680.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | 13/4/13 Squats 60kg x 5 90kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 3 160kg x 2 180kg x 1 195kg x 1 205kg x 1 Well pleased with squats today. After last weekend I wanted to prove to myself that 200+ is still there. Felt like there was more there. Bench Sets of 3 - building up weight over next few weeks. Last rep of each set paused. 60kg x 5 90kg x 5 120kg x 3 140kg x 3 140kg x 3 140kg x 6! Long pause on 3rd rep then my coach told me to keep going! Well happy to get 6 reps out after pausing mid way through set. | ||

I've neglected the bench recently and I'm about 7.5kg down on my best so the plan is to get some hard work done in the next 6 weeks before the next comp. I see you've started using a deadlift suit mate, are you finding it helps lift more? | ||

That makes sense mate. My lockout is the weakest bit as well. People have advised me to do rack pulls but I find the best thing to improve lockout is doing heavy reps from the floor. I'm sure you'll get some benefit from the suit though. I used one a couple of years ago and got about 10kg out of it. | ||

Did another 2 reps to see if it stayed & it did so I stopped there. Hope it's a strain rather than a tear! | ||

ta-ra then Member 564, 922 posts SQ 220, BP 175, DL 285680.0 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | 20/4/13 Not done anything since tweaking my pec on Tuesday. Wasn't sure how bad it was but as soon as I started benching today it was really painful soi stopped immediately. Think there must be a tear so I'm gonna try & see a physio in the week. Really gutted as bench was starting to feel strong again. Not used to being injured so I've got no idea how long these things take to repair! Was so pissed off I hammered the squats! Squats 60kg x 5 90kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 3 160kg x 2 180kg x 1 205kg x 1 140kg x 5 160kg x 5 180kg x 7 PB for reps at 180! Never done more than 5 before. Amazing what u can do when you're fired up! | ||
