Been slack but last few weeks have just been same routine going up 5kg each week on everything. This week we are resetting my maxes , Deadlift is Saturday but so far the DUP system seems to have worked. Squat - 150 upto 165 Bench - 135 upto 145 This progress would give around 10kg increase per exercise per month My weight has gone up to 18.5 stone from 17 3/4 | |||

Ok so turns out cough was actually a heavy lung infection, I'm coughing guts up still and getting bad sweats, been told leave any exercise for 2 weeks. Pretty gutted as have been getting stronger every week and was due to do some singles, felt sure I was going to set some good PBs this week. Also joined a new gym where a couple of guys have done some competitions. My old gym was more bodybuilding and none lifted heavy. So hopefully Ill retain my current strength and come back well. | |||

So been posting for a bit now and the plan was to try a small Novice event, question is, base don my training post weights, am I strong enough yet? I am doing it natural so do I need to find a tested event to be competitive even at Novice level? | |||
