| I've figured out why deficits were a no mover today as well. My hip position was wrong which screwed up the starting leverage. I was thinking "Squat it up", like I would for a snatch. This is a rubbish cue for engaging the glutes and ham string because instinct is to push the hips down and back like a low bar squat, rather than pulling into the bar while pushing through the legs. Once my off the floor line was found, the right muscle groups were kicking in so the acceleration was better and kicked in pretty much once the bar budged. I think tension, tight core and posture are going to be the keys to fixing speed off the floor. | |||

I only have to smell chocolate or pastry to gain weight haha, I just think for the majority of people I wouldn't recommend eating that kind of stuff deliberately for calories  I'll often eat whole pizzas and tubs of ice cream to myself. Unless I actively force myself to eat I'll sit about 55kg. If you're going for strength a bit of fat and water weight will help rather than being super lean. Padding around the joins protects them better is you fall or if you twinge something on a lift. Dirty bulking works because nice lean proteins fill you up, chocolate and pizza don't. So you'll have the appetite to eat more on top of that. | |||

| Bench Warm Up: 5 @40kg 5 @50kg 5 @60kg 2 @70kg (paused) Equipped Bench: 1X2 @80kg 1X1 @85kg 1X1 @90kg, several fails above this but it was mostly due to line. Once I had the line there wasn't the energy left to finish the press. Bench Press: 3X8 @70kg 2X7 @70kg Deficit Deadlift: 3 @110kg 4 @110kg Deadlift: 1X5 @110kg 4X6 @110kg Chest Supported Rows: 1X5 @50kg 1X4 @55kg 3X5 @50kg Disappointed with deadlifts. 110kg should really not have been a problem, and then it started messing about with my head and I went back to the floor. Took a little while to get my line from the floor correct again. I don't feel that I'm quicker off the floor for deadlifts but my glutes kick in much sooner so I accelerate sooner and faster. I got some good improvement out of it. Bench could have been better. I know I can hit 95kg, but I need to be better with my line in the shirt. I remember the last time, the shirt got binned and I could raw bench more than my shirted bench. That's not going to happen this time. | |||

| Good progress on squat. It's a shame that Dannybol probably has the best (non natty) strength for a lift out, but is such a disaster. (His hissy fit was hilarious.) | |||

| Shoulder Press: 1X5 @30kg 1X5 @37.5kg 3X5 @42.5kg 1X3 @42.5kg 1X4 @42.5kg Pin Press: 1X5 @40kg 1X5 @45kg 1X5 @50kg 2X4 @50kg Front Squat: 1X5 @75kg 1X5 @85kg 1X4 @85kg Chin-up: 2X4 3X3 Called it early on front squat, I may have got another 4 at 85kg, or I might have fainted. I thought I'd play it safe. Not sure what's up, but eating plenty will fix it. | |||

Wiegieboard said: Dannybol must be close to suicide by now. He's been getting powered for months now. I keep making very innapropriate comments to Danny. I'm hoping I can make him more uncomfortable than he tries to make other people. Ross_Harkins said: Bench press (olympic bar): 50kgx8, 70kgx5, 90kgx3, 110kgx2, 130kgx1 - worst handoff ever was level LHS and RHS was sloped downward, don't know what happend here, did one then racked it. Blame Dannybol. I didn't really see your squats tonight, was too busy throwing a tantrum. But I'll see them on Saturday, it's good that there's progress. | |||

| Squat: 1X5 @60kg 1X5 @85kg 1 @105kg 5X5 @120kg (suit bottoms) Board Press: 1X5 @40kg 1X5 @60kg 1X4 @80kg 2X6 @80kg Feet up Bench press: 1X7 @50kg 1X8 @50kg 1X7 @50kg Chest supported rows: 5X5 @55kg Sets on rows started off string and then got weak on reps 4 & 5. Not sure if these legs are more for squatting or snapping arms. Snapping arms can be pretty useful. Threw a massive hisy fit when I got into the gym because there were no bars and some fanny was using the power bar to squat 40kg? I mean really, at that weight a power bar isn't going to make a difference. Stevie kindly offered me his platform though, so it was all cool. We may need to start having the midgets work in togther due to lack of equipment. | |||

| Lockout on bench press seems stronger, I haven't stalled yet. I'm starting to struggle on deadlift though, but I think that it's more to do with getting the air in than any actual strength failure. I can grind out the last 3 reps if I need to. I also just found out that my main competition can now bench 83kg raw, and I intend to keep that record. Her equipped squat and deadlift look stalled so I've got a better chance of playing catch up now. | |||

| Bench Warm Up: 5 @40kg 5 @50kg 5 @60kg 1 @70kg (paused) Equipped Bnech: 1X2 @80kg 1X2 @85kg 1X2 @87.5kg 1 @90kg Bench Press: 1X10 @65kg 2X10 @67.5kg 2X8 @67.5kg Deficit Deadlift: 4X8 @100kg 1X7 @100kg Chest Supported Rows: 5X5 @50kg I'm happy that I can bench in a shirt, switching to the fury was a good move. There's still improvements to be made, better arch, tighter, quicker off the chest and at some point a paused press. And 10 at 67.5kg means I have no excuse for missing 80kg raw in a comp now. Felt shaky and a bit sick on my last deadlift set, I called it at 7 rather than forcing the last rep. Rows were rubbish, my scapula were doing the work but not getting very far with it. Ross helped babysit the wife today. He's a pro at getting people to actually try in the gym. | |||

Funky_monkey said: Louwheezel? Some big squats and board presses - i'm assuming it was a 1bd? Yeah, any more than 1 board and no pressing would be required. I'd like to being doing 5x5 at 120kg without the suit bottoms, but that's because I'm greedy and want all the squat weight. I did some judo tonight and got used as fodder for one of the mens' masters squad. Then had a beginner dunt me on my shoulder again. The coaches had some serious words with the heavy beginners, pointing out that a light practice is an opportunity for perfecting technique and not for mending damaged pride. The wife also started a training regime today, it was hilarious. He thought body weight squats meant he had to squat 85kg. He could only manage 5x8 at 60kg and was disappointed because of how hard it felt considering it's supposed to be a starting from scratch body weight regime. I laughed so hard I almost had an asthma attack. At least he tried to push himself this time, even if he was tricked into it. | |||

| Squat: 1X5 @60kg 1X4 @85kg 1 @107.5kg 5X5 @117.5kg (suit bottoms) Board Press: 1X5 @40kg 1X5 @60kg 1X3 @70kg 1X2 @80kg 1X3 @80kg 2X5 @80kg Feet up Bench press: 1x5 @40kg 1X5 @50kg 2X7 @50kg Chest supported rows: 4X5 @55kg 1X4 @55kg (could barely budge the 5th rep off the floor.) Board presses were hard at first but I started getting it in the later sets. If only I could arch as high as 1 board... Pushed for 8s on feet up bench but I wasn't getting it tonight. I'll keep hitting volume at these untill they're a bit more consistent. | |||

Wiegieboard said:That's good honourable motivation Mr Boar. I bet he's very proud of you for doing what you do. It'll be a good influence on JR boars also. So many people have dads who just sit and drink their lives away so for you to be active like you are'll be good. "My dad's stronger than your dad" (and can throw a wellie farther!) is a great bragging point for a kid haha. My dad can run for longer than your dad :P Good to see you're alive an responsive. | |||
