Post Edited: 29.11.2014 @ 23:10 PM by Bim Saturday 29/11/14GBPF NW Championships 2014 Had to lose a fair bit of weight for this. Dropped 10lbs between 6:30pm Friday and the weigh in at 10am Saturday which was pretty tough. Ended up weighing in at 104.4kg so overshot it a touch. With about 3 hours before I squat I ended up having just about enough time to re-hydrate and have a little food, don't think I could have hacked losing any more weight than I did. Squats Had a 220 opener which I screwed up, lost my balance a touch on the way down and just didn't get deep enough, 2 red lights. Decided to take the 220 again and got it, 3 whites. Took 240 for my last lift and got 3 whites again. Glad to hit 240 in a comp, felt a little pissed I didn't get a shot at 250 as I think I'd have stood a good chance. Bench Took an easy 155 opener. Second lift was 170, hard but I thought I stood a chance at 180, which was my third lift. Just missed the 180 at lockout, very close. Deads 260 opener went up fine. Second lift was 280 which was hard, but not desperate. 290 would get me a 700 total so that's what I took for my last lift. Thanks to Pete shouting at me from the sidelines I eventually locked this out and got 2 whites  Very happy.Stuff to think about At the place I train the squat rack is in front of a mirror, it feels awkward squatting without one and I think this is what threw me on the opener. Bench will sort itself out when my arm stops playing up. I got a red on deads as one of the judges didn't think my knees were locked out properly so that needs looking at. I might also need to look at my knees locking out before I start the squat. Thanks to the organises and loaders / spotters, good to meet some of the crowd that were lifting today, a lot of sound people. Overall it was a great day and I think I got the Yorkshire North East M1 105 Squat, Deadlift and total records: http://www.ynepf.com/records/men/masters-40-men-unequipped-rec... 240/170/290 700 total | |||

Fatpete said:I hope your fully into resting mode now Bim. I am now Pete, just done my last heavy session. You probably wouldn't approve so stop reading! Bench, all paused 20x20 60x5 100x1 120x1 140x1 150x1 160x1 170x1 125x5 125x5 140x5 Bench felt better than it has for a while, forearm pain still there but reduced. Probably shouldn't have done the 170 but it was for confidence more than anything, it's most I've lifted in about 6 weeks. Not a max but didn't feel too far off. Pin presses 60x5 80x5 100x5 120x5 100x5 CGBP 60x5 80x5 100x5 120x5 140x3 Dips x10 Apart from the couple of top singles everything was reasonably easy, good last bench session. Rest now, very easy session Thursday then more rest and lifting Saturday. Weigh in 10am, start at 12pm. | |||

| Nice squat pb! Bad luck on the rest of the session :/ It's s**t when your usual routine is broken, it often effects my lifts, especially when you chuck in a lack of sleep and manual work. Eat and rest up if you can, what you weighing in at? | |||

| Monday 17/11/14 Squats 20x5 60x5 100x5 140x3 Belt on 180x1 200x1 220x1 240x1 Good lift, not easy but not a grinder 240x1 Harder, slow and a fight to stop it being backy 220x3 Hard but all good reps Deads 60x5 100x5 140x3 180x1 Mix grip, belt on 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 Setting off on 30 seconds, felt good and fast. Paused deads 200x3 220x3 240x3 Felt good, more in the tank. Picked up a small tweak in my lower back on Friday which has been getting better since then. I could tell it was there on squats and deads but nothing bad was going on, just got to get through the week without making it any worse | |||
