| Thanks for all the comments, guys!! Back to training. Squats 1 x 5 60kg 1 x 5 80kg 1 x 5 100kg 1 x 5 120kg 1 x 3 140kg belt on 1 x 2 160kg 80kg more than last time i squatted, not to IPF deapth (what will scottish powerlifting say, i might be thrown out of the federation!) Glute feeling much better. Bench Middle finger on ring 1 x 10 20kg 1 x 5 60kg 1 x 3 80kg 1 x 1 100kg 1 x 1 110kg 1 x 1 115kg 1 x 1 120kg - bit slow but felt great compared to my wide grip bench a few weeks ago. Guess all that heavy training helped. 1 x 1 115kg 1 x 1 112.5kg 1 x 1 110kg Incline Bench 1 x 5 50kg 1 x 5 70kg 1 x 5 80kg Finished off with some eccentric bench | |||

BigKen said:I never said change it, just stating from my experiences of going to maxes and just up to singles for years at a time and then changing to a more rep based system I have had better results. You in Devon for the long haul now. voldomonkey; who said that there was only one training formula... Once it stops working for me i may well look into another training method. But for now, if it aint broke, why fix it? Yep, i am staying down here. | |||

BigKen said:True, but IMO too much at 100% and just below is taxing the CNS too much, hence "failure due to fatigue" I thought you were a Scottish Powerlifting boy through and through like Steel... It seems to be working quite well for me, and a lot of guys i train with. we are all making great progress - why change it? And sadly scottish powerlifting dont have competitions down in Devon. | |||

BigKen said:Lot's of red lately, and that 170k isn't legal is it, feet weren't flat on floor? Lots of reds, allthough most are borderline and due to fatigue - 120 was very close today, after doing 7 singles at 96% and another at 100% spotter just touched the bar at sticking point and it went up fine - i am quite happy with it. Just because it was a failed rep doesnt mean it wasnt valuble training, lowering it slow and controlled and pressing it to sticking point is also beneficial. Also lots of equal PBs and new PBs - still making great progress. Its not legal by IPF rules, but is in other federations that dont require feet to be flat on the ground - as long as they dont move around and your arse stays on the bench its generally fine. | |||

| » Metal black wrist wraps vs ATP convicts? (Go to post) | 29-08-2010 @ 22:12 | ||
| I have the APT convicts and they are amazing, allthough the velcro started to come loose quite quickly - nothing that cant be fixed easilly and i prefer them to the metal blacks that i have used before. They are ultra stiff and give much better wrist support than anything else i have tried. | |||

DeadShoulder said:I'm going to wait for the first video of someone squeezing into one thats too small for them and watch their elbows snap the wrong way. Then again, maybe if you put a football in the middle of the wrap you could bounce the bar off it a bit more  Pretty sure some american has allready broken his arm using one, i read about it somewhere but completely forgot where... | |||

Post Edited: 24.08.2010 @ 11:22 AM by Toby Been away from a computer for a few days, heres saturdays sessionBench 1 x 10 20kg 1 x 10 40kg 1 x 5 70kg 1 x 2 90kg 1 x 1 100kg 1 x 1 110kg 1 x 1 115kg 1 x 1 125kg shirt on 3 board 1 x 1 135kg 2 board 1 x 1 145kg 1 board 1 x 1 155kg touch - fast and easy 1 x F 165kg about an inch (or less) from lockout, pissed off about this... Shirted 4 board 1 x 5 120kg 1 x 3 140kg 1 x 1 160kg 1 x 1 170kg 1 x 1 180kg With a little lockout work i think my shirted bench is going to increase quickly. I experimented with putting it on slightly differnetly and it paid off, much more speed off the chest and supports a bit higher in the movement, so hopefully a big PB coming in the next few weeks. | |||
