| Cheers gents, I'm currently doing Wendlers 5/3/1 (4 weeeks in) not 100% on what I think off it yet- feel like I could be doing more but want to give it a chance, I'd reached a sticking point and it seems to be overcoming it.... I've got a log on David Hornes Grip site under the same name but might start keeping one here n all. | |||

| Evenin all, I'm new here and have been doing a bit of reading. Based up in Aberdeen and I'm looking at trying out for U90 strongman at some point. Looking around the logs, most of the numbers people here a shifting seem massive to me (not sure if they're equiped or not), So....what kind of level do I need to be at to be ready to go into a novice comp? At the mo I'm ~83kg and my lifts are- DL- 207.5 Squat- 170 Bench- 107.5 OH (strict)- 75 (just started this a few months ago) (Unequipped & only use my belt for PR attempts) My OH is pretty feeble at the moment. Any comments much appreciated. Cheers | |||
