Post Edited: 16.11.2012 @ 12:27 PM by strengthathlete Right,Didn't go to heavy today, on racks as I'm still feeling Wednesday's session and alot. Went training with my old dad always good to go with him, he's got a comp on 1st of december, he's doing well for an oldy, hit pbs he's got severe difficult with holding bar on squat but did 117.5kg for a single defo had two though, and he did a double on 107.5kg, also he did triple on 182.5kg he's looking in okay shape for his comp. Paused Squats: 2x5 on bar 1x5 on bar 2x3 on 70kg 2x3 on 80kg that was it, nice to try paused squats for a change. Incline Bench: 2x5 on 40kg Bench: 2x5 bar 1x5 on 50kg 1x5 on 65kg 1x1 on 75kg 1x3 on 85kg Paused, All reps today were paused and for along time. Really happy with this looking good. Racks: Just below Knee Height. 1x5 on 60kg 1x6 on 100kg 1x5 on 130kg set of shrugs too. 1x4 on 155kg fast but back feeling it. All hands forward felt nice. Not sure whether to know rest as I only have 9 days or do one final deadlift session Sometime next week. Probably don't have time know though. Can only do more harm than good.  | |||

| Right, Went training with one off the old woking lads it was pretty decent. Certainly Can't complain! Squats: 2x5 on bar 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 90kg 2x2 on 110kg 1x2 on 120kg 1x2 on 130kg 1x3 on 140kg Opener. 2nd Attempt 1x3 on 150kg. PB. Bench: 2x5 on bar 2x5 on 40kg Plus Two Red Bands. 1x5 on 40kg plus 2red Bands. 1x5 on 60kg plus 2red and Purple Bands. 1x3 on 60kg Plus 2 red and Purple Bands, felt extremely good actually. good to try something different. 1x5 on 30kg plus 2 red and purple bands. Deads: 1x4 on 70kg 1x3 on 100kg. 1x3 on 120kg 1x3 on 140kg 1x2 on 160kg 1x2 on 175kg, Really Felt alright considering squats probably better speed than normal looking in fantastic shape me thinks in this comp. this big deadlift might happen after all. After all it's 87% of My Projectory 1rm 200kg and the speed did feel phenomenal throughout. Even on my sticky point.Loving it at the moment. Final Session on Friday Bench heavy and Racks than that's my lot. | |||

| They were Front Squats right, very strong Finch. Something is better than nothing I always say didn't look to bad, I am going to experiment soon with sumodeadlifting but it's a tough cookie, but think I could be quiet good at it, although I am abit tall. | |||

Bench: 1x5 on 20kg 1x5 on 40kg paused 1x5 on 50kg paused 1x5 on 70kg paused 1x3 on 85kg Paused video below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUBcnSzQUDg&feature=youtu.b... 2 Board Press: 1x6 on 70kg Paused to board. 1x4 on 80kg Paused to Board. 4 board Press: 1x5 on 90kg Paused. 3 Board Press: 1x3 on 90kg Paused to board. Curls: 2x10 on 15kg. Nice small session nothing to killing hit it shorter time than normal shoulder don't like it. But All my openers are safe and good. Critism more than welcome. | |||

Billwest said:Got your PM. I would say follow Finch's advice, though take into account how you feel on the day for the second lifts. If you are not feeling that great, maybe a few kilos less, if you are good then a bit more. Thanks Bill Yeah alot is how you feel on the day mate, Alot of it is I get alot of anxiety pre comp that single lift I was terrified to be honest, but once got that first lift I was so buzzed up and ready that I pulled more than I ever had in training so, Hopefully get a nice 140 opener then go 150kg then go from there, I am 110% dedicated and I will put all my energy and life into this comp, I will qualify with a good improved total under 20's 93kg class, then will have months next year til British I can't wait. | |||

Post Edited: 10.11.2012 @ 12:54 PM by strengthathlete Right, felt a runny nose today but it was great training and these are days I love to have wish I had them more often, less training is better for my progress, hence not overtraining.Never get someone to video they always feck it up! Squats: 2x5 on bar 1x5 on 60kg 1x5 on 80kg 1x3 on 100kg 1x3 on 110kg 1x2 on 120kg 1x2 on 130kg 1x1 on 140kg Video below matey f**ked it and only got the one rep but this was pb 1x2 on 152.5kg he I said you recording then he said yeah am know before he pressed it and unforunately only got the 2nd rep which is below but wasn't to tough considering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSkItqHEyaQ&feature=youtu.b... Drop Set 1x1 on 140kg Never get someone else to video I have learnt my lesson. Then took out 170kg went down 4-5 inches which did feel f**king heavy lets say I wouldn't of fancied trying to squat it not yet anyhow. Racks PIN ONE: 1x5 bar 1x4 on 70kg 1x3 on 100kg 1x3 on 120kg fast 1x3 on 150kg 1x3 on 170kg 1x3 on 200kg Video below not too bad, Defo think I will do this in comp I am not much disparity so it's all good and I will do the bottom part and I can lock it out okay so all is good. Not fresh eiter prob do a 215-220kg on this on be as you see it's below my knee very long movement good for feeling the weight though. 1x3 on 200kg video below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1B27zcU6AY&feature=youtu.b... Still struggling abit but it's not a nice position for a tall person and I definitely find it eaier off floor. Sure I have a chance of this in this comp. Did last time with reps off pin one. | |||

| Hello Boar, Thanks buddy nah my competition is 25th of November, 3 lift divisional qualification for the British Next year. Advice what to try do on deadlift, it's tough though must say because trying to hit pbs on deadlift in less than a month in competitions is not easy mate. Thanks for popping around. | |||
