chaos said:You not supposed to bend your knees when it lands so your legs act as shock absorbers? I f**kin hate BTN anyway don't see point of it! Yeah, which is fine when youtime it right, not so good when you dont. Mostly I lowered it slowly like some kind of horrific negative rep, which was way harder than the press. I would never normally do it, but it is in a comp that depending on work I might now be doing in August. I have gone from just having our local comp in August, to possibly having 3 in 3 weeks. Got a job interview next week which might mean I get to do none of them though | |||

| Had very little time today Behind the neck press 70x5 100x2 120x1 120x1 70x5 70x5 70x5 Dropping this back on the back is horrible, just about broke myself. Could do a lot more but fear of f**king up the drop stopped me | |||

| I think it looks rubbish for an event. Fine to train fir tyre flip I guess, but wouldn't find it great in a comp | |||

drew said:Depends on shape. The qual had an open ended one that didn't suit some if you remember I bet most will be Ok Indeed, I was gutted about that. Normally press far heavier ones comfortably, but just couldn't get that to sit at all. I could do all 4 on a good day with a db that sat ok. That one from the qual and it would be a max of 3 I may be there, but if I am it might be my 3rd comp in august | |||

| Looks good, well apart from frame hold. I will see how things pan out with work, as it looks a fun comp and I have spoken to Stevie about going for a buffet or a burger challenge afterwards Hopefully I can do it. Nick, you doing it? Martin, you should do it anyway, its not as if you have to travel for it | |||

chaos said:I can't believe not training for 3 weeks has knocked my dead dwon from 300 to 260! Suppose it better than the 240 last week! Ha ha, have they replaced the fake plates with real ones? My deadlift can drop 20kg from week to week for no aparent reason, although I think hydration is a big part of it. Are you drinking enough non alcoholic drinks? | |||

| Cheers lads. I guess it felt better as it got heavier because I had to think more about the squat and less about the pain Should be better next week | |||
| » Competing as a novice (Go to post) | 09-07-2013 @ 08:44 | ||
| As has been said a hundred times on these boards the issue is with the terms the comps are classed under. Having competed at a higher level you are not a novice, as this suggests inexperience. I dont like the term novice, but it seems to have stuck. I am another in favour of a system that classes comps according to your ability rather than experience. This is the way in most other sports, you work your way up, and when age or unjury takes their toll you often drop a few levels. We should be able to do the same. If the weights are right then it should be the right comp for you. My concern about this though is that were it to change I think you would get a lot of guys filling out the lighter comps rather than pushing on to struggle in the heavier ones, and it may become too heavily saturated with that level of guys, at least for a while. As it is, I think talking to the promoter about the situation would be the way forward, as for now it would be at their discretion. It is for issues like these that some sort of governing body would be helpful | |||
