Iain K's Powerlifting

Solid lifting, mate. Really deep squat too.

Oh, and I think the dude in the background has a soft spot for you

No doubt due to the fact I've never seen anyone squat more than about 160 and not even close to depth in there :)

Nice squat mate, very nice.

Cheers guys. Twas a solid session indeed. Onwatds and all that!

Nice deep and easy 200 there mate. Good luck on the position at Kingston University, don't think it's too bad a commute from where you are.

Get smashing PowerPoint!

lol Cheers pal. Funnily enough just been checking the commute.

Train takes 2hrs plus about less than 30mins combined either side so under 3 hrs. So looking at getting up bout 6 for a 9 start. Similar time at the moment and off course not every day will 9 start. Further don't need to go through central london so no tube! Going home is probably worse, but then they have a good gym I hear so training can be worked in hopefully!

Tough but very doable for good money (for me anyway!). Good thing about trains is it's time you can spend doing stuf too.

Solid sess. Matt was done and had a very nice last heavy deadlift sess before BDFPA Brits. I was in better shape than last week so alls fine.

Bit of assistance work.

Seated db cleans &rt; band dislocates- 10x3

Loverly session today.

Benching was very smart. All clean, paused reps with nice bar speed. Importantly last singles felt pretty much as good as the first. The power of Eastboune Kettlebells

Squats were well grooved and fast, as they should be at this load. Very nice though.

Finished with some solid OHP and some lighter upper back work.. which hurt as my traps are sore to touch from yestardays shrugs!

Very nice sesh mate, similar to mine, except those would have been comparitively easy for you. ;o)

Nice couple of sessions there, mate. All setting you up nicely.

Seated DB cleans, I used to love doing those

Nice work Iain! Another lover of the seated db cleans too; haven't found anything else that hammers my rear delts as much

Cheers guys. Feeling nice!

Pulldowns- lots

Nice session. Squats very solid. 2 of the singles I tried a much narrower hand spacing (pinky on ring instead of max legal bench grip). It has legs for sure but means that the bar is more unstable when not positioned 100% right. Will muck about more after my next meet.

Blasted through the floor presses nice and quick. Working up to a solid top set. Did these instead of bench to ease my back.

Next monday singles with 140 on the bench and 220 squat.

Vids to follow

First single

Lovely stuff.

What're your PB's for squats? Never thought to ask before!

Looking strong there bud. Nicely done
