Iain K's Powerlifting

At the moment its probably similar absolute (30-40kg) carryover and therefore less % wise. I'll let you know after sundays squat session! My lockout as always been good in the bench and over the years I have done a fair amount of board pressing etc. I think in time the relative carryoevrs may be similar. Tough to say as I am not that experinced in the gear.

Hmm! Interesting, thanks for that!

Good session today. Trained at 'The Gym' with John and Monica Porter. Much better environment than kingsland gym. Better rack, bar and great to lift with guys that know what they are doing and can help with the gear. 272.5 was solid slow lockin out but never felt any trouble. This will probably be a 2nd lift at the All English.

Thats it now till after my hols.

Nice session to finish on - enjoy your holiday!

Where you off on holiday to pal?

Camping in Cornwall! Or at least we will be after the misses takes her car to the garage this morning after she but cleaning fluid in the power steering yestarday!

600 lb squat, 400 lb bench, very nice indeed Iain

Cheers. It was a good end to my 1st real equipped training cycle.

Going to have some juicy LM front squats filmed tomorrow! I hope you have a good time in Cornwall.

Good stuff Dave, give him hell! In Devon now, head of tomorrow for a little camping in Cornwall.

Whereabouts in Devon? If you fancy a session hit the Exeter uni gym- bloody awesome!

Cheers. I am in Exmouth that has a passable gym, which i will go to nxt monday. This week is hols time so no gym!

Lol fair enough mate, have a good one!

Just a little session in Exmouth to kick out the cobwebs. Wasn't gona do any comp lifts but did a little benching in the end, and felt better for it. Other than that just tossed about really.

It is better to toss, than not to toss at all!

I'm impressed. Youve got t'internet on a camping trip

With your bench shirt is there any carryover to your raw bench. Seems like a good 30kg extra for the shirted lift but has your unshirted bench improved?

At my 'inlaws' now in Exmouth so tinternet no probs.

I have not done enough equipped work to know (3 sessions this cycle). I am still doing full ROM raw work ie dumbbell, narrow grip and band stuff etc so tough to tell. So its not as if I am always in the shirt. I think the current training will, at least, not harm my unequipped bench

Slow, out of groove and ****.... but as it's just after a hol, and 2 weeks since I pulled it was a solid session. Juts a bit of work really to get in shape for nxt sats 'Classic'. Next wed will do some light work and see how it goes at the meet.
