stephen said:Done the western district championships today. Was ill during the week being sick and had the runs which helped me lose weight for the 100's. Weighed in at 98.5kg. Squats: 1st: 260kg Pass 2nd: 275kg Pass 3rd: 285kg Fail Lost the line on the last squat and f**ked it up, there's always next time! Bench: 1st: 190kg Pass 2nd: 200kg Pass (comp pb) 3rd: 205kg Fail Pleased to nail a double bw bench in comp(as have only ever done it in the gym)finally. Was close with the 3rd and wasn't that far from locking out but was getting a shooting pain through my injuried shoulder, next time for sure! Deadlift: 1st: 250kg Pass 2nd: 262.5kg Pass (comp pb) 3rd: 270kg Fail Pleased to get a comp pb, Never got enough leg drive with the 3rd too finish it but did get it to the knee's pretty quick. Over all please with the d/l as it's probably the best I've lifted in competition. Got a pb total of 737.5kg and 2nd place in the 100's. Not a bad start to this years competitions and gives me a good bench mark to work from for the rest of the year. is that you mr mullin? well done at the comp thats impressive scores! nice bench and s**t hot sqts. | |||

Ross_Harkins said: Hi Marc good to hear from you, how are you and and your training partner doing, been a while probably since september or Novemeber since I saw you both, You also had a shoulder injury but still benched big, I remember you had it taped up with medical tape and the shoulder held up well. What treatment did you get for your shoulder and how do you use the tape, Your problem looked to be the front I'm guessing supraspinatus, mines the rear the infraspinatus (hope I've got these the right way round?) wondering if I can tape mine up and if so how? Good luck at the strongman comp, let me know how you did. And remember how John Wayne walked when you get out of bed the day after squatting first time in months!! I'm sorry to see your not lifting on Sunday as watching your raw bench progressing was very impressive! my shoulder is good thanx ross, yeah your right mines was the front of the shoulder not sure of the medical name  i used hot cold treatment before and after training and even just sitting around the house i was iced up all the time! on the day of the comp i bought a heat pack a got robert to tape around my shoulder, i used a few different creams(for pain) then just b4 the warm up i stuck the heat pad on to warm up my muscles and wore it through out the comp. afterwards i iced up, it seemed to work 4me. i hope your shoulder heals soon ross but it dosnt really matter you dont need the bench with that might deadlift youve got all the best m8t. | |||
