| Calibrated plates is the precise weight and rubber gym plates are variable (usually weigh less). Calibrated plates are significantly more expensive and worth the investment. I would prefer to know the weight is exact for measured productive training. | |||

Post Edited: 08.06.2017 @ 08:10 AM by MuscleDemon Pikefingers said:Have decided to post some long-medium term goals, as it might help me to retain focus. I would like to get down to around 75 KG body weight.-Or at least to be able to for a PL comp if I wanted to. That would mean an evening before weight of 77-78 KG. Lift goals: Squat: 150 Bench: 110 Deadlift: 180 The squat is probably going to be the only really difficult one here - and potentially unrealistic given that my back didn't even hold up to 140 KG at 93 KG body weight recently when I was relatively strong at that weight and doing 125x10 beltless. The squat would also mean two times+ body weight, raw without wraps to good depth, which would be significant for me. I did a comfortable and deep 155 at 78.7 a few years ago, but that was pre back injury. @Muscledemon - If it was easy to get my back seen to, I would love to do it. Time is the main issue, but I also don't think they will give me an MRI/Xray on the NHS will they? Not sure I can bring myself to lie my way through A&E as it will probably be obvious that I haven't just done it. Glad you have goals set. That will help shape your training and focus. By the time you reach the end stage of contest prep your contest figure aims will be higher as your conditioning to it improves. Even if the injury is old I would imagine they will still treat you although you would have to wait a long time in the queue as other people with immediate injury would be prioritised over you. You can be seen straight away seeking private treatment. If you can get it done, you will feel better knowing exactly what has occurred. If it is a spinal disc out you may need a nerve block or epidural of anti-inflammatory corticosteroids or surgery. Due to it now being an old injury scar tissue would be formed and it could be too late for surgical route. Try taking Ibuprofen and paracetamol 20minutes before a workout, may reduce your discomfort during training. At least make effort to get diagnosed as the main thing, then you know how to deal with it. Good job benching, still powerful. | |||

Thanks, it's getting harder now. May need to use a belt soon. Squats deep olympic style - narrow stance. Not yet, plan to compete again in 2018. Need to get my act together though, especially on the nutrition front. Be sweet to do a qualifier together. | |||
