What do you mean? The membership form you have to send off. Then later you should get an entry form for the divisionals. | |||

I think Ken Shamrock used to do 500 bodyweight reps on squats and they were f**king brutal from what Ive heard! | |||

Well best of luck with the driving. How many calories were you on before you dropped them to 3000-3500? Nice and gentle is the best way mate, that will ensure you wont lose much of that hard earned muscle mass. | |||

Oh, cheers Rob Tonights training; Deadlifts 60x15 120x10 180x6 237.5x5x5 every rep on every set done beltless and from dead stops. This represents a 5x5 pb. The last rep on sets 4 and 5 were grinders. Deadift holds 305x3seconds 300x3seconds these were a bit crap. I really need to get used to holding on to 305 so that I can pull it in comp without having to worry about grip strength. But I had just done a lot of sets and reps on normal deads so next week I will hold on to the bar for longer. Weighted side bends 70x5 65x6 Weighted crunches 30x10 30x5 Weighted leg raises 10x12 10x12 Tonights session took way to long as I had to wait ages to get a bar, it seems everyone has taken up weights as their new years resolutions! Good for them I suppose. A days rest then back for shoulders and biceps on friday, plus a little cardio. I just thought Id add that I too eat jaffa cakes, I love the little f**kers! | |||

Probably because you are not used to starting from that position. Did you do it from that height because of your shoulder? | |||

Good luck with the cutting mate. I wish I could do a cut but obviously this would mess my lifts for competition up. I could always go down to 90kgs but I look too thin at that weight as Im 5`11". Get us some pics mate! JC, have you ever tried this Kortes routine? I notice you have a 170 bench which I am very envious of. I just wondered if it was reponsible for such a good bench? | |||

Carl said: well, i did 5x3,3x3,3,then a single, when i worked upto a 135 paused bench, that seemed to go well, what did you have in mind exactly? Pretty much what you have just explained above mate. As in swapping the 5x5 for 5x3 in the hope that using heavier weights will make me stronger. Bench just doesnt seem to budge much using 5x5 so I think I should experiment with different rep ranges. Its madness to keep doing the same thing hoping for different results. Anyway, see you in a bit mate | |||

I still cant get 5x5 with this weight! Close reverse grip bench press 60x8 100x6 100x6 100x5 Underarm chins Bodyweight x8 +30kgsx6 +30kgsx6 +30kgsx5 failed for a 6th Bent over barbell rows 100x8 155x8 140x10 A few sets of light L flyes for rotator cuffs. I am seriously considering doing nothing above 3 reps for bench on my next training cycle as it doesnt seem to improve much. What does everyone else think? Oh, and I wish everyone on this site a happy and strong new year |
