Would that be considered 'equipped'? I've seen lots of people with belts, so perhaps that isn't? But the knee wraps?

Ah I didn't realise that. This was not a trolling type question nor a snide one. This from someone who didn't know you're meant to pause with bench press until 2 or 3 weeks ago. Nah just interested that's all. It's a big adventure for me Happy

OK, I obviously do my lifts unequipped - unless you count the tight undies I sometimes wear when it's chilly. There seems to be a point when people go to 'equipped'. Presumably this means tight suits that are crafted in such a way as to help the lifter lift more.

The question is this. Why? It seems to me that there are competitions for equipped and unequipped. People say, great lift, but was it with a shirt? Etc. What is going on? How did this all start? And do my tight undies count?! Happy

Neil - that red thing is his bench shirt, its been cut open at the back which isnt allowed in a lot of UK federations.

Cheers for the info. I knew it was a newbie question but I've simply never seen any of this stuff in real life nor really on video before today. Perhaps I will start another post asking something else that I'm wondering about!

That red girdle thing he's wearing round his shoulders under his top... is that what people mean when they talk about 'equipped' and/or using a 'shirt'?

Cheers. Yeah I can do drizzle, but this stuff would have made my head bleed Wink

Thursday 31st May

Bench: 51 x 6, 61 x 5, 73 x 5 (cos I misloaded the bar) and then 83 x 5 x 5. 3mins rest between.
Dips: BW+8 x 8. 2mins rest between
DB press: 21 x 8 x 3. 2mins rest
Push downs: 25 x 8 x 3. 2mins rest

Making steady progress on the benching so happy enough with that. Also I've now incorporated a sneaky extra session of benching on a Sunday, so I'll start to log that too. Basically it's fewer reps with heavier weight just to mix it up a bit.

Edited to remove my running aspirations - they just aint going to happen.

Wednesday 30th May

Absolutely pissing it down outside and as much as I enjoy jogging around there's no way I'm doing it in that. So, on the elliptique bike thingy for 30mins. 1min jogging pace and then 1min balls to the wall pace. I was almost dead at the end. It's been a while since I've used the bike and while it isn't as 'hard' as running it's still a killer depending on how you approach it. Good stuff Happy

Anyways welcome!

Thanks for taking the time to explain the difference between clean and PL deadlift.

Didn't think to search for it. I found this:-

Certainly not what I had in mind!

I wish I did have the money to spare atm. Thanks for the advice though cos I will definitely be looking to get a good make when I have got the money.

Tuesday 29th Mai
DL: 90 x 6, 140 x 5, 160 x 5, 160 x 5, 170 x 4. 4-5mins rest between.
Widegrip chins: BW x 3 x 8. 2 mins rest between
BB rows: 58 x 3 x 8. 2mins rest between
BB curls: 34 x 3 x 8. 2mins rest between

Was pretty happy to get those 4 170kg deadlifts in at the end. Was going for 5 but the 4th was such a grind that I didn't attempt the 5th. Didn't plan on even trying to put in a set of 170s but was feeling frisky so figured why not!

So what's the difference between a hang pull and a rack pull?

The 212.5 is a PB clean deadlift, but having put 15kg on my PL style dead, and 5-10kg (?) on my SLDL since I set my PB of 210, that's what I'd expect.

If you don't mind yet another newbie question in your log, what is a clean deadlift compared to a PL style deadlift?
