500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq		cheers marc, hopefully I can get my bench up another rep at 82.5K before the comp on the 16th as that would stand me in good stead for a 92.5K paused comp lift

Thursday's "Purbeck" Session


Squats

  • 95K x 5
  • 115K x 5
  • 127.5K x 3
  • 132.5K x 3
  • 135K x 3 reps PB
  • 135K x 3 reps PB

Good squat session, felt a lot more solid and I seemed to have a lot more drive off the bottom.


Deadlifts (using small diameter plates)
  • 147K x 5
  • 167K x 5
  • 172 x 5
  • 174.5K x 5 - ANOTHER REPS PB!!


Last set was very very hard, felt totally drained after it, still got it, no hitching. I have noticed I am leaning back too much at the top which is straining my lower back. I need to concentrate on using my shoulders more to shrug back rather than leaning back so much. My lower back is a little sore today beacuse of this, nothing major but I need to be careful. I will stick at this weight for a few weeks now and concentrate on form and speed. This is the target weight I mentally set myself to reach by Xmas, so I am ahead of target.

2 more proper training sessions till the Dorset Xmas comp.

Happy with my rows, weight is up 2KG for reps now

Ice: I use the one in Poole which is a head office and its very well equipped. They have about 4-5 bars, 3 are ivanko, loads of plates, enough space for deadlifting etc, loads of machines. Price is also good £32 a month.

The negatives are that of any "health club", it can get full of posers and wanabies doing endless sets of bench that are too heavy and so require the spotter to assist from the 1st rep.

The other negative which I just dont see the logic in: They renewed the floor as it was getting damaged, so they put down solid metal, then LAMINATE ontop (WHY WHY??) and then rubber matting ontop of that. So you can imagine what a typical PL deadlift session does to it floor, yep it smashes the laminate to pieces and now the floor has "holes" in it in places.

Oh and ppl stop and watch when you deadlift anything over about 100KG as thats obviously quite impressive Roll-Eyes

130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq		yea those gyms are s**tty for atmosphere, its just hard to get inspired in there. Plus I don't really like the attention you get when you do anything over two plates....with that said though, one can still use it for whats its worth. But if that is all you know and you've never been exposed to the darker side, then you will be stuck in a rut forever.

552.5 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq		I used to train at a total fitness. You cant compare it to a proper hardcore focused gym for atmosphere. You get allot of c**ts too. I used to have loads of problems with the people who worked there aswell. Telling me not to shout and drop the weights down gently... Do you ever get complaints?

130.0 kgs @ 0.1kgs UnEq		Haha I remember a couple of years back, when a woman told me to stop making so much noise from dropping the deadlifts. I told her to go to a library if she was after some peace and tranquility.

But I think things have changed slighly now, the powerlifts are more popular with more people doing them now. Obviously people always benched but at least most people now know what a deadlift is!
