Plan is to reintroduce some rowing and back work, keep hitting the tries hard and start a new buildup for deads and squats. Going to try and creep the weights up on CGBP for another week or so and see how they go.

Hyper obese Pete Member 70, 17876 posts SQ 322.5, BP 205, DL 300 827.5 kgs @ 133kgs Eq	Bim said: I think you are gradually grinding me down Pete, I might even take a full week off before the next comp I must admit that slightly less work in the week before this comp does seem to have done me some good. I do think it's hard to separate out the things that make a difference to how you perform on the day though. A full week off !!!! That'll be the day. A week off would mess with your head, just train two days - all three lifts, deadlift first day, then squat and bench on the second day, but nothing over 100 kilos. No, that isn't a typo, it's 100 kilos. Just to keep loose and to keep the demons at bay. Last heavy day would be Friday of the antepenultimate week, penultimate week up to your openers on each lift, final week - loosners and demons at bay, then come the comp you will be rested, fed and champing the bit. You'll see.

Let do this. Member 3512, 2473 posts SQ 200, BP 140, DL 252.5 592.5 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Fatpete said: then come the comp you will be rested, fed and champing the bit. You'll see. I have never known Bim come into a comp fed :-) It would be great to see you at a higher level. The worlds this year might be a bit of a trek but there is the European classic these days.

6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295 755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq	Thursday 09/07/15 Squats, high bar 20x5 60x5 140x3 Belt on 160x1 180x1 200x1 220x1 180x5 180x5 180x5 180x5 180x5 It's 3 weeks since I've done any volume on squats and these were getting surprisingly tough by the end. Leg press, paused x12 x12 x12 Hack squats 50x10 100x10 150x10 So, about 18 weeks until the next comp. Think I'll do 6 weeks of f**king about and then a 12 week build up.

TL:dr Member 5489, 131 posts SQ 320, BP 200, DL 310 830.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq	im undecided i might even consider comping with you Paul. Hopefully get 1st and 2nd by Wilkes judging by the result of your last comp you had the Wilkes title aswell. I would say it is impressive but i trained along time with you and i know your capable on your day in the next 12 months to get 260,200,300. But like a few guys including myself have said get your volume in now then take regular deload or just back off and those numbers will be very achievable in the same meet.

Would be great to compete with you on the platform. I think at the moment the 260 squat is the toughest of those to get. Targets at the moment are 250/200/300 in comp for a 750 total, pretty much +10kg to all the lifts. A pretty tough ask but with a decent buildup and a good day within reach I think.

Close grip press-ups off dumbbells x1 So unsteady it was ridiculous, coupled with tired tries called it a day, see if I can build them up over the next few weeks. Going to try and add something like this as an extra tricep session each week, see if it pulls the bench up.

Do you just stick to high bar?
