| Cheers Buzz. Any idea whether the sizes are pretty standard. ie. if I take a 9 will a 9 be correct? Or is it like slippers and bowling shoes where I'm closer to an 8? lol | |||

Wayne_Cowdrey said: Sumo dead lift is a LOT of legs. Convo dead lift is definitely back-dominant. Weightlifters seem to be able to get more legs into a convo dead lift than most (flexibility). Probably right, we (none oly lifters) probably use more back than we should. | |||

Buzz old chap. I read that you're gonna get the weightlifting shoes in towards the end of May. Got any pics? Colourways? Price? (i know you've put that somewhere already but a few more guys are asking about them now. It'd be nice to put all the info together.  | |||

Wayne_Cowdrey said: Technical issues aside, I disagree. I think legs respond better to training than backs do and can handle a lot more work. But a deadlift is (should be) a LOT of legs. | |||

| If you fail a deadlift its safe, if you fail a squat you may get squashed. Same with bench. So I think confidence may come in to it a bit. Plus a squat is a 2 part exercise. Once you've pulled a deadlift you can pretty much drop it down (under control) | |||

Wayne_Cowdrey said:I'm glad some guys (JC and Ben_F) understand what I'm getting at! If, for example, I hadn't been able to train properly for a few weeks (personal stuff maybe?) and returned to the gym and just about managed to lock out a 110Kg log I'd think "OK, that's fine". If I couldn't even press 100Kg I think I'd be quite upset/annoyed. But what I'm saying is i probably wouldn't go for a 1RM if I'd been off from training for a while. I suppose if I wasn't going for a 1RM and just going heavyish I'd be disappointed if I failed a 135 bench, 180 squat, and 220 deadlift though. | |||

Ben_F said: Its not always a peak and dip, for example I might spend a couple of months foucussed on improving my overhead but would still expect to pull 280 and squat 210+ on any given day. The trouble (and attraction) of strongman training is that there are so many things to be trying to improve at any one time! Good point Ben. It's not like powerlifting where you focus on the 3 big lifts and add in some assistance. There's so much variety. | |||

I'd be annoyed if I went for a 1RM and got less than my best to date, but it's not something we do very often. I've benched 140 and am scared I might miss it if I try again, even though I doubt I would. I've deadlifted 230 but am looking at getting to 250, so anything less than 230 or preferably 235 would be a disappointment. I've squatted 180 for a double a long time ago so less than 190 would leave me peeved. As for other stuff, I'm not sure yet. | |||
