Axle was heavy as fook, I'm pretty sure it was more than 30kg, but we'll assume it was 30kgBelt clean then press rest. Sleeves on for 70s and over Axle x C P P 50KG X C P P 60KG X C P P 70KG X C P P 80KG X C P P 90KG X C P C F < Pretty sure this was more than 90kg, but whatever. The axle in competition is only 80kg, which felt ok. Axle deadlifts for fun 130kg x 2 DOH 150kg x 2 Mixed grip from here on 160kg x 1 170kg x 0 < lack of back strength. WTF :S DB Clean and press. Sleeves on, no belt 32.5s x 1L/1R < Had to double check the weights as it felt too light 45s x 1L/1R 55s x 1L/1R PB failed lockouts once maybe 60s x 0,0L/0,1R PB . Cleans were fine, it was a pain locking the weights out Shoulder press machine - few fast singles, then a fail with "187.5" assuming lbs Close grip bench 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 100kg x 1 110kg x 1 125kg x 1 paused PB Wasn't too sure if the bar was 20kg so had to ask. Everything was feeling too good to be true 130kg x 0 - just about got it off chest. Rope extentions with "8" whatever weight that is 4x10, roll on/roll off with training partner 500kg total and a video of the bench to follow. Edit - bo***cks! Too good to be true = I was only on 492.5, not 497.5 so now i'm on 495. STILL behind MattD | ||

I'm assuming one of two things - my motor neurons were nicely firing from the heavy singles - BOOM! Or I miscounted the weights/they were off by a mile. Or my regular bench is now more than 122.5. P.s I just hadn't had access to the heavier dumbbells before. Looka like I might be getting better at this strongman malarkey - just need my log to overtake my bench one day. | ||

I'm going to take my belt and knee sleeve and see if I can hit 170kg. I'll see if I can find the camera as proof that I did it (and not cutting depth/lying) | ||

tabbouleh and fattoush salads were very refreshing Member 267, 8548 posts SQ 220, BP 165, DL 250635.0 kgs @ 90kgs Eq | With the bad knees, it may be worth focussing on building a mong bench press until you figure out what works and what doesn't. Mabe dust the bench shirt off and work on an equipped bench PB. Do some upper body bodybuilding and heavy overhead pressing as well. Summer is only a few months away | ||

Mabe dust the bench shirt off and work on an equipped bench PB. Do some upper body bodybuilding and heavy overhead pressing as well. Summer is only a few months away Long term plan (after my comp next week) is Monday - deads from floor, hams, deficit pulls, bent rows etc. Weds - Shoulders, chest, triceps (same as it is now) Fri - Power cleans, rack pulls from 15", strongman stuff if there's the kit available. Too much back stuff? Should I just to shoulders and triceps on Weds, then chest/triceps on Sat? I don't live near a powerlifting gym where my shirt would be suitable. My measly bench is one of the biggest at my silly gym, and I squat double what the next biggest squatter does (and he does 1/2 squats with his GF, she has much better tekkers than him). < That was just so you know I train in a homo gym. I might get my shoulder and close grip bench up, see if I can get a 135-140 close grip bench then put my shirt on and see if I can hit 200. | ||

You need to train somewhere decent to do the equipped stuff. You not going down Genesis anymore? Get a big overhead, get even more awesome at chins, do some heavy ass weighted dips and just get massive! Depends how bothered you are about the stongman stuff... | ||

Get a big overhead, get even more awesome at chins, do some heavy ass weighted dips and just get massive! Depends how bothered you are about the stongman stuff... I'd like to get to a half decent level. I know i'll never be at Shane Jerman/James H's level, but at least do "ok" at it. I'm still gutted I failed my 2nd attempt at my competition a couple of years back, judging by the 2nd 190 attempt, 200 should've been in the tank. I bought a Katana but only wore it once, and that was a bench only competition I entered simply because it was at Genesis. I never really trained there, just went once every 6 months if I had a competition to use their bench/mono/bars. Edit - my regular gym used to be Wood Green Weightlifting Club, where they have seen shirts etc. I'd need a regular training partner though. I could always go there once a fortnight/month to have a shirted session. | ||

On to 520.. I think i'm going to be working on bench and deads a lot more (well, shoulders, close grip and deadlifts) so when I get those numbers, it's very possible my squat will still be 170, or possibly have regressed. My deadlift sucks, a 220 isn't too much to ask. I'll be doing them conv as long as my back doesn't give me any problems. Jimmy - thanks. On to 520, would be good to get that around end of May (natty southerns) | ||
