good4gains said:Strong PB mate. thanks mate, i wanted 10 really, theres sooo many strong deadlifters on here! the PT at my gym tested my core strengh today and came to the conclusion that he has no idea how i can squat and deadlift as much as i do because i have the weakest core hes ever seen!! so he saus if i start training my core and strengthen it my lifts will go up alot.. i could barely hold a sit up half way up for 5 seconds lol.. | |||

good4gains said: I was thinking that about the bands, how they where attached and couldn't you rig it up another way, maybe another bar underneath your safety bars? I get what you mean with the bigger weights sometimes but it's all in you mind ain't it and have to learn a way to surpass the negativity and just go in and give it your all. yeah thanks thats a really good idea, i never thought to put somthing under the cage! i work for an engineering company aswell so im sure one of the lads can find me a piece of flat bar to put underneath. I think somtimes if i wore a blind fold i would do better! | |||

good4gains said: What extra stress do your bands add on? That is also some great progress on your push press and bet the 130 would of went up if you done it before the 10 @ 100kg. The bands are just mini bands 5 lbs at the bottom and 35 lbs at the top for each band, so weight at the top was 250 kg ish. When i hit 210 kg + the red bands i got 230 kg without them, so generally i can do 20 kg extra when i take the bands away so 240 should be on. The main thing which i think is a killer is that my bands are angled so that they are connected to the rack at the bottom and are connected to the bar at an angle which not just pulls the bar down, but also pulls it forward meaning my core has to work harder to stay upright. I can honestly say the bands have contributed to my decent gains on the squat as im not taking any additional supps or doing anything different to what i was doing a year ago.. when my squat was wank. and as for the push press i think i could proabably do 105 kg x 10, so should be able to max around 135 but as soon as i see the weight on the bar i start having douhts and losing confidence.. it took me 6 months to nail 120 kg from the first time i tried it.. even though shoulder strength was up ALOT, after the 6 months. | |||

good4gains said:Squats still look easy and 10 reps @ 100kg is good going mate!! thanks mate, im hopeing i will hit 240 kg when i take away the bands next week in just the belt and wraps i will be over the moon if i can get that.. of the 3 big lifts my squat is the one that im doing really well on.. at one stage my squat and bench were the same around 18 months ago! and i was actually surprized on the push press generally im wank on them as i can never coordinate the leg drive with the press, my previous pb was only 100 kg x 6 so major progress. Thanks for commenting. | |||

good4gains said:Some nice Pb's lately mate, your squats always look easy on your videos and 272.5kg is the closest you will get to 600lb, unless you have weights that measure in decimal places. Keep up the good work! yeah too be fair i might not be pushing myself quite as hard as i should on squats, so im 15 lbs away from 600 thats my short term aim 600 withen 4 weeks!! i think it should happen as im going to be working on rack pulls from the knee, and usually when i do these my deadlifts comes on alot.. 265 is actually disapointing for me kind of as i hit 260 like 6 months ago, and was pulling 210 kg x 10 9 weeks ago, which would put me at a max of 270 plus i believe. I then injured my back ''trying'' to get 215 x 10, and seemed to lose alot of core and lower back strength even though the the injury cleared withen 3 weeks.. very strange but i learnt my lesson. Dont deadlift like a bull in a china shop. | |||
