Iain K's Powerlifting

Youtube is still being useless

220x6, very nice reppage.. I remember your PB being 250 for high reps?

When you going to qualify for the Brits? I will probs pop to the Brits this year, its only a short drive from my dads.

Damn nice pulls1

I owe you some wraps gaylord. Might be in for a bit of benching in the new year if you fancy it?

Question with the competing mate, what are views on knee wraps in the unequipped?
and how useful/important are they to me at such a stage? Should i be using them, or keep them till im shifting heavier weights. I know they arent a magic cure/shortcut of such so just wondering.

Dave- Sure thing bud! Just bought myself some wrist wraps, but maybe I can think of summit cheap and cheerfull ;)
 
SH- 250x5 (paused but not re-set), unfortunatly never put this on the platform per se. I qualifyed a couple of weeks ago at my divisonals

CF- Cheers. Solid, solid.
 
Owen- Knee wraps are not allowed in unequipped meets.

Word. Im around until about the 11th I think, although this may change. How are you fixed? (I cannot handle training at the Taro and will do literally anything to escape it)

Your about to get a txt

Nice session today. Bastard had for a 'top set and done' kinda of lifter.

Tech on the bench wasn't the best. Just couldn't seem to get tight enough. Still plenty of power on the first reps. Squat however had spot on tech. Best session yet since back at it. Honestly thought I may not make 6 sets of squats s the benching took a lot out of me but did it with maybe one more set in the tank. Good times!

Lovely looking session Iain.

First set of squating. Bit loose. Tech was got better as session went on.

lol I just saw Kia the gym dog got into the vid.

Cheers FKAOG. Only 2 weeks into this style of training but am enjoying it.

Nice squatting mate

Danke Dave.

I hurt. I hurt yestarday, I hurt this morning. I hurt when I warmed up and I hurt when I squated. Anyway solid session today. Did the work without much mental stress. Squats were slow but happy to do em with tidy tech and finishing with my hamstrings still attached to my body. Bench was better as pecs aint as sore. Infact last 3 sets were the best. Last double was 2s pauses and they were sweet.

Didn't have anything on the push press though, and wimped out a little. Still did some work which is the main thing. It's gona be tough to always be able to go hard on these after a big session at the weekend.

This is gona be 'par du course' at the beginibng of the week as I'll be doing the hardest squat session at the weekend then with only a days rest be doing the this lower volume/lighter session. But it's all about building up the work capacity so groovy.

I think this weekend squat/bench session is doubles again to give a breather for the 6x6 session next weekend.

Deadlifting down Catts tomorrow provided the weather behaves!

kenders was up visiting relatives so we got together for a session at catts gym , great place !!

kenders worked up to 4 x 235kg on the deadlift ans was looking SOLID

looking strong boar and iank.

Now got a 12kg, 16kg and 24kg kettlebell. Gonna get a 32kg soon I think lol

Cheers for doing the vid and pic duites Boar!

+1 plate per side x 3
+2 plates per side x1
+3 plates per side x1
+4 plates per side x1
+5 plates per side x1

Dumbbelll rows;
88lb x 5
120lbx 5
140lbx 5
150lbx 5
200lbx 4/5

Loverly session on wed. Aim was for a tripple on top set of pulls but happy with a well fought 4. This is def getting close to my best. I am re-setting each rep now instead of pausing and going which makes it a bit harder repping.

Tire deadlift was very cool, really enjoyed it. Bit disappointed with last singles was not set up well and I windmilled it up a tad but it was pretty much a max effort, and dodn't hitch. Can only guess the bar weight is 250-260?

Finished with soem nice rowing. Catts have some nice old fshioned dumbbells. Just the lump of iron affair which is nice. Had to have a go at the 200 pounders and did some meaningfull ROM with them but they weren't pretty!

Great to catch up with Boar and train.

Gaylord, you around this week at all?

Only monday pal. I am at Southampton Uni strength and cond centre with Iain on thurs and Oxford Uni Powerlifting Club sat!

Nothing exciting but;

Im fully back in action as of tuesday...thats gay!
