| Anyone going down from the North? I'm seriously considering going but I don't think I could justify the £60 quid in fuel from Liverpool. Anyway, let me know if anyone wants to share the cost and head down on Sunday. Cheers, Sam | |||

| Monday 07 JUL 08 Deadlift 60x5x2 100x3x2 140x3x1 185xFAIL 155x3x5 One arm row 32.5x10x3 Lat pull downs 50x10x3 Stiff leg DL 60x8 65x8 70x8 A thoroughly disappointing session. I was absolutely devastated not to even get one rep on 185Kg - it came up slow and I failed to lock it out. I found it pretty hard psychologically to come back after that, although I did get some inspiration from an ex-lifter (Burt Owens, lifted during the 60s and 70s) and realised that I just had to put the failure behind me, and move on. | |||

| Friday 04 JUL 08 Press - first rep cleaned barx6x2 50x3 55x3 60x3 65x1 - PB 70xf - closest I've ever been to completing a rep and then failing it - I think I'll post the video of it later! 60x3x3 And that was that, just a quick session. | |||

| Thursday 03 JUL 08 Squats barx10x2 60x5x2 100x3x1 110x3x1 120x3x2 Did these without wraps, but with a belt today. Felt good and probably could have pushed it a little further but I was on my own and thought better of it. Power cleans 60x3 65x3 70x3 80xf Psyched myself out of doing the 80. Leg sled 120x10 160x10 200x10 | |||

Post Edited: 03.07.2008 @ 14:50 PM by sam Joni said: hey whats up, is that a 10kg pb?!?!? Hey Joni, unfortunately not. Bench is a bit of a funny one, performances are as follows: February 08 - 110Kg paused, in the NW unequipped bench (weight 71.1Kg) April 08 - 102.5Kg paused, in NW unquipped (weight 66.3) May 08 - 102.5Kg paused, British unequipped bench (weight 66.5Kg or so) Wednesday's effort of 112.5Kg was a 2.5Kg increase on my best touch-and-go bench (I weighed myself at 70.1Kg post work out). I don't know how much of it is psychological to be honest, but it would seem that my bodyweight seems to play quite a considerable part in my bench. | |||

Fatpete said: Gallavanting around the world for money is not good for training. f**k the army off and become a jockey. Tomorrow will do Alas Pete, accepting the Queen's commission comes with responsibilities - namely the 7 years return of service I owe and can only realistically get out of by 1.) Failing medical school 2.) Becoming disabled and/or dying. I think they play polo in the army - would that placate you?  | |||

| Andy, keep forgetting to mention that last month whilst out for a few drinks with some mates in Beetham Tower I saw Nadine from Girls Aloud. One of the fittest girls I've ever seen - I didn't even recognise her as Nadine at first, just that she was absolutely stunning. It was only after a few minutes that one of my friends started hinting that it could be her and before long people were going over to have a look. Biggest disappointment was finally getting the courage to go over and get a photo and that she'd made a run for it! Gutted! | |||

| I would have loved to have done it Joni, I really like the idea of powerlifting as a team sport (I've still got some hopes for an Adlington vs Army showdown too!). Unfortunately I'm on an attachment in Brunei between 27 JUL 08 and 10 AUG 08 so I can't make it. | |||

| Solid squatting Rick. When are you going to throw some weight on the bar and start doing some heavy singles??? | |||

Post Edited: 30.06.2008 @ 23:21 PM by sam Monday 30 JUN 08 Deadlift 60x5x1 100x5x1 140x3x1 175x2x1 - PB double 142.5x3x6 The 175 double was tough but not horrendous, so I've got confidence for my 185 double next week! Snatch pulls 60x5 65x5 70x5 Still new to these, but enjoying them Pull ups 8,8,6 One arm rows 32.5x10x3 Stiff leg deadlifts 60x8 65x8 70x8 Same applies here as with snatch pulls Pretty tough session - special mention must go to my training partner Phil who has not long been deadlifting and managed to grind out an inspirational 100K for 5 for his last set, fantastic strength of character! | |||
