Well okay session all things considered. If this was a first session back at the begginng of a raw cycle it'd be decent. But hey ho just need 540 next sunday. Squats a bit random, just that timing and bar position that isn't 100%. Bench felt the best tech wise. Deadlift was what it was.

Really looking forward to 14 of dec when I get back on it proper with some niclt planned out raw phases.

Nice lifting mate, is lower reps better for strength?

Max strength- yes- alot!

High volume over three lifts, like it.

Limited time on the web at the mo, will try to pop in to see what's going on with the strength/PL crew.

Me either, but if you gotta qualify you gotta qualify. Good luck dude

Cheers guys.

Looking good Iank, Thumbs up,  Are you and IB still having List off's? Last time i was on i remember see ing you and him post vids of each other out doing each other on squats lol

Hi pal!

We're still equal raw squating. I suspect he'll surpass me at some point as I spend a lot of time tryintg to raise my equipped lifts as opposed to raw.

6/12/09

GBPF South Midlands Divisional Champs; Calmore, Southampton.

Weight- 88.8kg

Squat;
190- gd lift
205- gd lift
215- gd lift

Nice bit of squating today, no reds in sight. Reall smoke shows on first 2 attempts (people heckling to get more weight on the bar ) and a bit more effort required on the last attempt. I believe that's the heaviset raw bench this year for for.

Bench;
120- gd lift
130- gd lift
140- gd lift

Even better than the squats. Again easy first two lifts and solid 3rd attenpt. 5kg of a comp pb and def gas too spare on that one. Best lift of the day

Deadlift;
230- gd lift
245- miss (stalled and couldn;t get it past knees)
Pass

Same as really. My strength isn't there deadlifting and this feeds back int my confidance when pulling. But again picked the right opener. All things consideref 245 was an aggressive 2nd lift but fancied going for it for a 600 total, not to be.

So total of 585kg. I'll take that today with my pull so bad atm.

Week of and back into it mond 14th.



PS I looked dam hot my pink and black stripped oly singlet!

Pics? Not so much of the lifting, but more your lifting attire

Unfortunatlly don't think there are any.

Got a vid of the 245 fail but that can stay were it is :)

Well done mate, makes a change to see you lifting without the equipment.

Handy little run out unequipped there Ian.

What's the plan of attack for deads? Maybe treat it like an old girlfriend, and force yourself to fall in love with it again.

Very nice Iain! congrats on the bench pr!

Very nice Iain! congrats on the bench pr!

Thanks but it's only a pb for the year, 5kg off my best meet bench. TBH I could have got it but not to know.
 
Shep- pretty much. Since the Brits not reall had a solid enough long enough cycle under my belt. Then I rushed a little in the build up to Un's, including trying to deadlift equipped.
 
Starting a coan based plan. Next week.

120kg bench opener

Solid press!

Shame 140 wasn't on vid. A good un it was!

Hi mate
I don't know if you'd be interested but there's an un-equipped GBPF Bench and Dead comp in the North West on 28/02.
