Benvie said:Solid session Stephen, you going back to powerlifting then with this shirted benching lark. Cheers mate. Aye going to make a return to powerlifting next year but will still train events for abit of fun weather permitting of course as I have to train outside. I tried to get an industrial unit sorted recently with a few guys around my way all chipping in, which would have mean't I could have trained specifically for strongman all year round. Unfortunatly due to a few reason's we never managed to get it sorted so decided to concentrate on powerlifting again as I can train for it easy enough. Went to the Killie gym tonight, big squad of 6. Deadlift (suited): 120x5 170x3 210x1 230x1 250x1 (straps up) 260x1 Thought I'd get the suit on to get a feel for it again...f**king hated it haha. All easy enough. C/G B/P: 20x15 70x5 105x3 120x12 D/B B/P: 50's x14 C/G Lat pull down: 77.5 x10 77.5 x10 Good fun session with everyone. Few of them training for up and coming comps so great atmosphere in the gym! | |||

| If you can't get a shield made Davy. Just use use a yoke..low pick up, carrying it with your arms. This will at least get you used to having the weight pressing on your chest and get you conditioned to moving in this manner. | |||

Benvie said:Nice session mate, hope the sciatic isn't too bad. You doing the SSM qualifier? Thanks. I just seemed to be plagued with injuries/problems...I must be doing something wrong! Right now I'm in two minds about the qualifier. I enjoy doing it but as it's so early in the year and in winter I struggle to get event training in due to the weather so never have a chance of even scraping a qualifing place. Also contemplating a refocus back to powerlifting next year. | |||

Post Edited: 05.11.2012 @ 11:55 AM by stephen Cheers guys.Training on sat at mine, big group of 9: Ifsa log: 65x8 75x5 85x5 85x5 75x14 Just working on technique and speed on the press. Yoke + duck walk(reps to mimick power stairs): 160x10m 240x10m + 140x6 reps 300x10m + 140x6 reps in 23.4secs 300x10m + 140x6 reps in 22.6 secs. Caught my heal on the back of the yoke on the 2nd timed run and had to hobble back to the duck walk so was surprised to be quicker than the 1st timed run. Arm over arm: 140x15m 245x15m Bloddy knackered setting everything up for everyone and putting everything back. | |||

| Trainings looking very strong mate. I know I'm being a c**t but on the 295 d/l your knees didn't look locked out(maybe just the camera angle?), some judges may not give you that in a comp? | |||

| Well that's me back training for the last few weeks after hurting my back and having to take a rest. This weeks training: Monday(training alone): Squat(suit with straps down): 20x10 70x10 120x5 180x3 220x3 (knee wraps on) 220x3 220x3 Had to wear my suit with straps down as my back isn't 100% so it's the only way I can squat without my back hurting too much. Also wore knee wraps to make it easier. Flat bench: 20x20 70x10 100x5 125x2 140x3 140x3 140x3 Harder than what they should have been. Seated shoulder press machine: Upto full stack x8 Hack squat machine(front squat): Upto 320x10. Then did some shoulder and bicep rehab stuff. Wed night's training: 18" deadlift: 70x5 120x5 180x2 220x2 260x1 300x1 320x1 340x fail (got it moving but couldn't finish it  )260x10 (pb) Hadn't planned on going so heavy but there was 5 of us training, so was good to push eachother on abit. Trapbar hold: 235 x 24secs. Wasn't last out of the training group for a change  .Chins: Bw x6 Been awhile since I've done these so felt tough. Thur night's training: Ifsa log: 65x8 85x 105x3 115x1 120x1 75x15 strict press Again hadn't planned to go so heavy(well for me) but 5 of us training again so got caught up in abit of friendly rivalry .Seated shoulder press machine: Full stack x10 Full stack x10 Another shoulder press machine on an incline kinda: 80x10 110x4 Then did some sort of shoulder excercise with a 20kg plate, don't know the name of it and it would be too hard to descibe.   | |||
