| Squats: up to 1x230kg then speed work with 140x2 x8 220 & 230 here - www.instagram.com/p/BQPfY2KBMxU Not squatted heavy for a while, fair bit more there, but will slowly build. | |||

| For me today> Deadlift: 220x1,2 230x1 140x2 x8 High pulls: 100x2 x5 Chins: BWx10 +20kg x8 ( www.instagram.com/p/BQKWQl4BNjs ) Start of a new plan, not pulled off the floor for ages as it tends to hurt, so a bit wary. The standing ab roll outs I did on Saturday have destroyed my midsection- wincing all the way through todays session! Never noticed using my abs on chins before, but f**k me it was sore! Should have probably eased back in to them...... | |||

| Pish gym session in the morning. Bent some 6" nails in the afternoon, surprised that I was still able to! www.instagram.com/p/BQF1fWnjprx/ | |||

dazzachap said:Good to see your still at it Ben Pressing looking good, but those weighted dips are impressive, I always worry about equipment failure on those, is that Austin's welding your trusting. :-) Thanks  I've got a lot invested in Austen's welding- I'd have to send him the dental bill if it failed! 105kg is the current gym Dip record, think i'll pass that soon enough though. | |||

| After a 2 year stint bodybuilding I've come back to strongman, may as well log it somewhere.... Currently sitting around 101kg, fairly lean. Plan to compete in the 105's until i'm too big. If I can get to 106/7kg and be this lean, i'll be a happy man. 0500 this morning> Axle jerk/press: 100kg,100,110,120,2x120,3x120kg Dips: 3x +20,40,60kg, 6x +80kg BWx20 First overhead PB in a long time! Dips were decent too, decent overall. www.instagram.com/p/BPwmAq-hujG | |||

| My wife lets me get on with it- I train in the morning at 0500 5 times a week, so it doesn't knock into family time. Strongman is the current plan. She thinks I'm mad though, particularly when i'm competing in bodybuilding, but is generally supportive and doesn't mind me doing my thing and all that it entails. The kids like having a dad who's different to the normal dads, and that keep me going too! If I stopped training i'd just take up something equally stupid, and it stops me being a grumpy ar****le. Win for me and her. | |||

KevC86 said: This doesn't sound harsh, but it does seem bonkers to me. Why be a skinny 80kg if you could be a formidable 100kg? Id far rather be my current chunky 125kg than a lean 105kg. Would you not rather be a lean 125kg though? | |||

PeteHodgson said: Cheers Ben. By far the best shape I've ever been in. But no where near your size and condition. And probably even further from your level of strength. Lol My condition is currently a 'fluffy' 103kg...heaviest I've been - permabulk until 2017 then compete again in April next year. 100kg stage weight would be nice, but think that'll be for another year.... | |||
