 Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Post Edited: 02.06.2011 @ 20:08 PM by MattD90 Hi, I'm new to this site and thought this would be a good place to start a journal, there are some awesome lifts on here and looks like a great place to get advice/encouragement. Hoping to compete for the first time this or next year, for which I have no high hopes numbers-wise (my lifts really are quite poor..for now!), just want to get into powerlifting and have a purpose for training, then onwards and upwards. Matt edit: forgot to say I'm somewhere around 78 or 79kg BW..not too sure where. | ||

So last month I deloaded to 100kg, and am now doing 3x5 every time, +2.5kg every session no excuses, no more no less. Hoping that when I retest my max in a couple of weeks I can hit 140 for a single | ||

Weighted chin ups +10 x 5 +15 x 3 +21.25 x 5 +21.25 x 5 +21.25 x 5 PB Seated DB press 30 x 4 25 x 8 25 x 8 Seated rows something x 10 x 10 x 10 Left it at that.

Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Also another update. After asking around and doing some research I'm gonna be competing for the first time in the North Midlands unequipped at Horncastle in August. Don't know if anyone else on here will be there but I'm hoping to meet a few people, learn alot and take as much away from it as possible. Current comfortable "gym" total is probably around 370ish @ 79 so I'll just train hard between now and then, turn up and see what happens. | ||

Skaven for the win !! Member 2490, 3589 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 230530.0 kgs @ 82kgs UnEq | Terrible session. Squat was awful I'm 99% sure because my stance was too wide. I know this because 1) I felt it in my hips more than I ever have before and 2) my trackies completely tore open at the crotch lol. I was supposed to be going for 127.5 3x5 but that went to pot. WILL get it next time. Lesson learnt. Squat 100 x 1 115 x 1 127.5 x 2 127.5 x 2 Rrrrip Front squats 60 x 3 80 x 1 100 x 1 105 x 1 PB! Leg press 240 x 10, x 10, x 10 DB side bends 40 x 10 x 10 x 10 each side | ||

I'm always sure I do but looking at the vid, even if you pause it just between 0.21 and 0.22 it's not really possible to tell cos of the bad angle. Hmm | ||

i shy away from hard work Member 549, 2761 posts SQ 250, BP 132.5, DL 282.5665.0 kgs @ 120kgs UnEq | not a bad squat mate, you might be a touch wide which may hinder you getting depth, hard to tell from the angle though. nice work.......luuuuukey will be able to give better feedback than me though | ||
