 Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 24.01.2012 @ 15:30 PM by spam_up As were into the new year I would just like to say thanks very much to everyone who has posted encouragment/banter/advice etc in my log since i started it in August 2010.  I was pretty clueless at the start and there's been a few hard times with training/minor injuries as well as work/life etc so its all helped keep me going! Progress from 08/2010 - 01/2012(today) Bench press: 105kg - 125kg Deadlift: 182.5kg - 240kg Strict overhead press: 65kg 85kg and 72.5kgx5 Push press: 75kg - 85kg  (Working on it, lol)Squat: 135kg - 145kgx4 and 150kgx2 Im still training 100% natural and feel that ive still got a fair bit of gains to come. Not gonna be too specific with goals cos they never work out exact, but this year but i would love a 260 deadlift, a 180 squat and get 100kg over my head this year as well as putting in better performances at comps than i did last year! | ||

Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | 18/08/10 today was mainly for practising my squatting technique, every squat was done as low as i could go. tried different wideness of feet, a few narrow a few wide and some middle-ish but all below parallel. bar 12 60x12 60x10 80x6 80x6 85x6 85x6 90x4 Calf raises machine- best set: 6x390lbs finished with a set of leg curls + leg raises 3x10 squats feel better now that i keep my hands closer in and have my feet facing outwards slightly. still need some more practise for confidence with heavier weights. | ||

Glorious spam Member 1563, 3961 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 260570.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | 19/08/10 Deadlift day! DEADLIFTS: 60x12 100x6 120x2 (add belt) 140x3 (start using straps) 150x2 150x2 150x3 PB wide pull ups: body weight - 6/6/5. Standing dumbell shrugs. 32 1/2kgx12 40kgx6 40kg (using straps) 2x8 reps did a little bit of forearm work to finish but nothing special. Knackered at the end of this, quite pleased with the deadlifts but need to get some chalk soon to be less reliant on straps. | ||
