| 19/11/2015 Deads Sumo Lots of reps and sets Calves, hamstrings First session since the comp, said I was going to tale a week off but got the itches. Decided I'm going to give sumo deads a proper try due to my persistent lower back issues. I've watched a few videos on the technique and attempted them tonight but I have quite a bit to learn, I went up to singles at 180 but really shouldn't have as my left hip started to hurt. I need to drop the weight back and allow my muscles and joints the time to adapt to this move. | |||

| 03/11/2015 Decline Press 10 x 80 kg 5 x 120 kg 3 x 160 kg 5 x 3 x 200 kg Bench 3 x 100 kg 2 x 120 kg 2 x 130 kg 1 x 140 kg 10 x 100 kg Bench was in use so hit the declines first. The niggle in the previously injured shoulder continues which worryingly pinches a nerve and causes a slight loss of control. | |||

| 31/10/2015 Bench 10 x bar 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg 2 x 130 kg 1 x 145 kg 1 x 150 kg 4 x 130 kg 15 x 100 kg All done feet up. Possibly one of the best bench sessions in some time, even with a niggle in my previously injured shoulder. I have been training almost daily since the World's but just not logging it as it's been a bit of a come down to be honest. Building back up to a local Push and Pull in 2 weeks then take a few weeks to decide what next year will look like. | |||

Billwest said:Nice one Les, champ again. Sounds like it could have been a lot more. Squat seems to have come on a lot in the last few months Cheers Bill Could have been much better on the day mate and really should have been, no excuses. | |||

| 15/10/2015 WPU World Championships - Limerick, Ireland. Squat 200 kg 225 kg 235 kg (f) Bench 140 kg(f) 150 kg 155 kg (f) Dead 250 kg (f) 260 kg 275 kg (f) Total 635 Kg WPU 90 Kg M2 World Champion Probably about 30 kg short of what I wanted and honestly expected on the day. I was in good shape going into this but made schoolboy errors - didn't have time to wrap properly on 3rd squat, didn't wait for the command on my first bench, judged to have slammed the bar down too harshly on my first lift. I honestly felt the 235 squat was there on the day and had my first dead been valid I would have jumped straight to the 275 attempt. You live and learn. | |||
