| Worth the wait Pete, that was great deading! I don't know how you lower it like that with 260 either, I think it would kill me. | |||

| I did this with a strict press out of the rack and I'm still not really sure why I blacked out. It was a slow grinder and close to lockout my vision started to go and the music sounded all woozy. As I locked it I just managed to dump the bar in front of me, I woke up a few seconds late on top of it wondering why I was laying on the floor. I did hold my breath, but the entire thing only lasted about 5 - 6 seconds. | |||

Post Edited: 30.09.2014 @ 22:32 PM by Bim Tuesday 30/09/14Trained at a new gym today with a half decent bench for a change. The bench was slightly lower to the ground and a lot firmer, took a bit of getting used to but it's a lot closer to a comp bench than the one I usually use. It was harder lifting as well, I've got used to sinking down into the bench with my shoulders on the old one which put me in a slight decline position. Bench 20x20 60x10 80x8 100x5 120x3 140x1 160x1 180x1 180x1 120x5 140x5 150x5 Both 180's were a max and a fair bit harder than usual, hopefully just take a week or so to get used to the new bench. CGBP 60x10 80x8 100x5 120x5 140x5 Slingshot 140x5 150x5 160x5 Only just got the last rep Seated skullCrushers with a barbell 25x10 35x10 45x10 55x10 Machine tricep extensions x20 x20 x20 Disappointed, but just as well I've started on a decent bench now rather than later. | |||

Appetite said:Nice training rescently. What is the plan? Are you sticking with 5s for now and bringing it down closer to comp? Yep, 5's for now on squats and deads, getting heavier when I'm happy with the current weight, then probably 3's for the last 2 - 3 weeks. Something like that anyway, I don't follow a program more go off what I'm feeling like / how trainings going. On bench I'm still improving pretty quickly so I have a set of goals I want to reach and I just work towards them each session. So next goal is 160x5x4, I got 160x3x4 last week easily enough so this week it's 160x4x4, once I get 160x5x4 then the goal is just up 10kg. Ideally I'll hit 170x5x5 before the comp and a 180x3, if I do that I'll be on for a decent bench, they are both a fair way off at the moment though so I'll just have to see how I progress. | |||

Thursday 25/09/15 Squats 20x5 60x5 100x5 140x3 Belt on 160x1 180x1 200x5 200x5 Harder than Monday, think I'll stay at this weight next week then up 5kg. Leg press x10 x10 x10 x10 Seated ham curl x10 x10 x10 x10 Felt a bit drained going into the session today and it showed on squats. No grinders but they were hard sets. | |||

| Tuesday 23/09/14 Bench, all paused 20x20 60x10 100x5 140x3 160x1 180x1 - 5 second pause. Felt about as hard as the 170 last week. 150x5 150x5 150x5 150x5 Started easy enough, got the last set with a grind on the last rep. 180x1, 5 second pause: CGBP 60x5 80x5 100x5 120x5 140x4 Cut the last set short as I was losing form Slingshot 140x5 160x5 Seated SkullCrushers 30x10 40x10 50x8 50x8 50x8 Good session, might give 180x2 a crack next week, think I'm getting close to it now. | |||

Post Edited: 22.09.2014 @ 22:56 PM by Bim Monday 22/09/14Squats 20x5 20x5 60x5 100x5 140x3 Belt on 160x3 180x1 200x5 200x5 200x5 Started hard and got easier as they went on, kept form ok on all of them. Middle set, 200x5 Deads 60x5 100x5 140x3 180x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 Going every 30 seconds, they all felt like they flew up today. SLDL 190x3 190x3 190x3 Felt good today, I think dropping to 2x squats a week is paying off at the moment. | |||

| Great deads Pete! What has a 250x3 got you in the past for a single? | |||

| Very nice bench Sob, faster than a similar 170 I did a couple of weeks ago: I'll give 180 a shot this week as well if I'm feeling up to it  | |||

Appetite said: That sounds exhausting Tough set, I got 240x5x5 earlier in the year though so I'm trying to build up to something a little better than that at the moment. Weight this morning 17st 1lb, just dropping to 17st. | |||
