Hopefully bench will be better too. | |||

Billwest said:Excellent result Chris. Looking good for future comps. Cheers Bill Relieved to get a good one in. Hopefully with fingers crossed and injury free will break the 650 mark at GB champs. See you are getting some tasty rep sets out on your squats again - good to see you getting back to form. | |||

| Sunday Squats 8xbar 8x60 8x90 8x110 5x130 3x145 suit on and light wraps 2x160 wraps tightened 1x180 1x200 1x210 all solid 240 walkout and semi squat felt good. Relief that calf has healed. Bench 8x60 8x90 6x110 4x120 3x130 1x137.5 shirt on (red fury 44) 3x155 (2 boards) 1x160 1 board 1x165 fail no board 1x162.5 fail no board. Oh s**t didnt expect that! Shirt too tight locks up. Must be getting bigger up top. Will try old fury (black 44) on Tue and new 46 fury - need one to work for comp!! One step forward one back! Have to lose a couple more kg so that should help. One day I will go into a comp with everything right!!! | |||

| Calf feels better so will test it with a few tentative squats (light wraps to protect calf) 8xbar 8x60 8x80 6x100 4x120 2x140 1x160 Bit tense on last one wary of calf so stopped there. No reaction at all. Will give it two more days full rest then will hopefully be able to push it up to my 210 opener on Sunday then 6 days further rest should be ok for comp. Despite injury setback still fancy a crack at a legal 230. Determined to put together a decent total! | |||

Billwest said: Impressive deadlifting Chris. Is the deadlift raw or equipped? Its equipped but am still very happy with progress. Another 6 months and I think 260 will be a real possibility equipped with a 245 raw. | |||
