Boar | Training journal - Powerlifting | 05-06-2017 @ 18:07 | |
Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | for the last 5 years I have mainly been doing triathlons and running. I have now sold off my triathlon equipment and bought a powercage for my shed. I am fairly weak and intend on becoming less weak. My aim (as usual) is to enjoy training and enter a few competitions , the British masters (I believe) is held in Belfast , so The best I can hope for is the 'All England' powerlifting comp. qualification for this is 460kg (I will be lifting as a under 83/84kg) I was about 74kg whilst cycling over the winter, but now I am about 79kg. | ||
Boar | I have been training 3 times a week for about 5 weeks | 05-06-2017 @ 18:13 | |
Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | Session 1 Squat
benchPress
Military press
hanging leg raise
I have only just got to the point where I can train and not feel mega sore the next day I really did consider using some 'bottled test' but in the end I just would rather have long, slow steady gains over the rollercoaster ride of quick, big gains followed by a rapid winter slump ...rinse n repeat ..... my inspiration is kenders ...... the MASTER GRINDER .... deffo not ed. | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | Post Edited: 07.06.2017 @ 16:26 PM by Boar Thankyou chaps , it may be a while before I can claim to be strong Session 2 Deadlift
140 is feeling pretty heavy TBH .... I'm not banging out sets of 5 for a reason !! Bent over row
kettlebell shoulder press
Kettlebell shrug
Trained with my eldest who has just left school , might drag him along to the comp that I am hoping to do in November .... realistically I don't think I will be able to manage the 460kg qualifying total for the 'All Englands' but you never know ..... | ||

not particularly well educated Member 85, 10986 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | 140k felt f**king horrendously heavy to me as well and it f**ked my back. | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | Yea, Godda be carefull ..... just coz Tom is deadlifting 425kg..... my back has been fine but it deffo was feeling 'tired' and I thiunk injury is around the corner if I push it too fast I do believe my strength will return but I don't think I will get close to 600lb ..... I think 500lb is something I can work towards 182.5/125/227.5 is some sort of fantasy target | ||

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Good stuff boarski!! I would love a 180+ squat. I'm also hoping for a 500lb deadlift. That's realistic for me this year. Maybe a 135 paused bench. Go go go | ||

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq | Also, if you do all the comp research (like you do) I'll consider competing. Foot dependent. Same class. under 83 masters! | ||

Walk your talk Member 5, 25557 posts Administrator | didn't realise you were over 40 pete ! (kenders well over 40 OBVS) I will keep you up to date pete , I will be happy to get smashed by yourself .... considering how strong you are, its pretty unlikely that I will ever get to those targets befor you lets hope I can enjoy a summer of injury free lifting gainz and kenders, its a shame they hold the comp in NI (for me) but who knows..... one day I may cobble together a total and some $$$ and have a go | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10034 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | British masters moves every year, mate. Never been in Belfast before. There's a second one in December due to European calendar revisions and it's in Horncastle, as it was last year. The only competition always in the same place (so far - that ought to change soon too) is the English champs. | ||
