| Nice to see you posting. I was getting worried there. Your body will take time to adapt to doing heavy manual work AND powerlifting, but it WILL adapt and you WILL make the qualifying total with loads to spare on the 15th. Then you've got till next July for the adaptation to happen. Worry not, my friend - nothing but positive thoughts. | |||

| Good work today Karen. The question of how much work to do in a shirt out of competition is a difficult one, and lots of good lifters will give you sincerely held but diametrically opposed answers. My own view is that if you're doing 2 bench sessions a week, fit three equipped lifts/sets into one of them and little and often will get you there. When you got your breathing right and got your hands in at the right point the bar flew up. Try and focus on that every rep until it becomes second nature. If you could get your hands on one "gentle" band that would really help as well, because more of your raw work could be shirt-orientated. | |||

| Not really a proper workout today, but I'll record it anyway. Was at NW Training Day at Colne. Played around with different band settings, and was given some food for thought. Bryn and Jim's setup is probably more scientific than mine, but mine, by accident rather than design I might add, seems more suited to my lifting plane. But their's might suit my training partners better! Warmed up and did 100 for 3, 120 for 3, 140 for 2. 150 for 1 and failed 160. Not really geared up for lifting heavy today. Don't know whether to do my normal Monday or not. See how I feel tomorrow. | |||

Fruitbat said: Thanks Bryn and Jim for the session today  Was really good and confidence-boosting for me and helpful. Thanks for your support, advice and experience  Good lifting today Karen. Still oddles of untapped potential. Looking for an 80+ bench and 130+ squat in a fortnight! Belief is the key, esp now you know what to tell your helpers re putting on the shirt. | |||

Nothing else Martin. Just a text off Joe. Dont think Fred is very internet savvy, so best to keep working on Pedro. Oh, and Fred is just tooo cool for any gold, silver or even lemon coloured clothes  Gold IS cool. Just that not everyone can carry it off! | |||

| Tonight was a struggle. Everyone in the gym seemed to be struggling tonight. Shrugs - sets of 10 with 10, 12, 14, 16, 18. Upright Rows - sets of 10 with 4, 5, 6, 7. Felt a tweak so didn't try a set with 8. Dips Machine - sets of 10 with 10, 12, 15, 17. Facepulls - sets of 10 with 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Triceps Pressdowns - sets of 10 with 40, 50, 60, 70, 80. Shoulder Horn - 3 sets of 20 with 7s; 3 sets of 10 with 10s Couldn't be arsed doing any cardio, so chewed the fat for half an hour with various people and then left. | |||

| Good lifting, and well done for realising that there is a time to progress and a time to consolidate. | |||

marc said: hows john w coming on squatting and deads yet martin? Not bad, Marc, but some work to do yet. I think he's going to end up BDFPA only, because he just doesn't want to put a shirt on and seems happier lifting raw. | |||

marc said: I know the lad yeah he comes over a bit brash,when he was in italy, but on the day he wasn't benching still came along helped us on with bench shirts, spotting, got pictures for me, martin,larry, and you can hear him shouting the loudest on the videos. was talking to all the veteran competitors, les pilling etc getting advice etc and was always polite. so while alot of the youngsters are on street corners smoking crackpipes, shooting each other, robbing grannies etc, this decent young man goes to college, trains six nights a week and trys to be a good community member. Slagging off is easy over the internet, and he does have dreams but didn't we all at that age. If you met the young man you would have a completely different view of him. p.s. he gets sponsered to wear them suits. Hear, hear! | |||
