Iain K's Powerlifting

Good work pal! Whats next on the agenda?

Congrats on the total mate.

Awesome squat.

Cheers.

Next meet is divisonals next sunday. It's in Southampton and I'll be lifting unequipped. Get qualifying total for Brits Unequipped on openers then do whatever feels do-able after that.

Well done mate, excellent work there.

Well "Two out of three aiiinnnt bad" :)

Here you go champ, vids from Sunday. The only one I missed was your 180kg bench (damn batteries in my stupid camera )




And for a bit of fun, 10 points for the 1st person to guess who this handsome bearded fella is....

Great lifting Iain, well done mate.

Thanks LMC.

Blimey, what was Bruce Forsyth doing there?... give me my 10 reward points

Nice work iain, good to see you got the numbers despite not feeling your training had been great leading up to it. PBs are always welcome.

lol Cheers DV

Ian,

Nice work on the meet. Solid base to plan an ASSAULT on the Nationals next year.

It's all there for you mate. As you said, two out of three aint bad lol.

Cheeers Shep!

2-3 months solid raw work, then back in the gear.

I'll be squating and benching twice a week in that period whilst easing my deadlift up.

Then back to normal plan of 1 session per lift once the equipment goes on. I'll also start using deadlift suit about in april.

Nice thing about bench was the shirt was not jacked in any way. Belt loose and collar not pulled down. Def a chance I could open with 180 come next june.

Damn nice meet Iain! Good to see you finally put the equipped total together. Now time for thicker gear...

lol Cheers CF

Nice little session approx 60%. I wouldn't normally train this close from my last meet, as I am a lazy sod, but felt as little tech work on the raw lifts was needed towards next weeks unequipped divisionals.

Sunday I'll work up to 80%, then next thurs stupidly light session on the comp lifts, then sunday is the meet. Current plan is 195/125/240 for qualifying total the whatever I feel like. ATM I don't feel particulary sharp unequipped!

How'd you mean you set it up equipped style Kenders? Cos my left ham cramped to fcuk on monday doing my heaviest set LOL

I mean my tech was the same; lower bar placement wider stance etc. Hence more stress on the inner hamstring... a place I am used to have extra support when doing it that style!

I should learn to read, i read that under the bench heading. Me = donut!

How do you find the transition between the 2?

Takes a bit to get raw tech right after a block of equipped work. iIt all feels a bit loose and timing is off. Made worse as I havn't been getting in enough raw work on either squat or bench recently.
 
After this next comp and doing a nice 2 month phase squating and benching twice a week around the 80% mark. That'll sort me out.
