Make sure you don't rip this one Kendoid I've starting pulling conventionally now as my back is allowing it - any tips you can give to stop my hips riding up too early? The lighter pulls i do seem to be less of an issue, but my last set of 140 on Thursday saw me coming up too quickly. Anything more to it than concentrating on poking my arse out and keeping the weight more conservative?

Tough one as it's often a timing thing. Just keep the weight light for a while. Mayeb do some heavier sumo then lighter conv or whatever? Failing take more time at the bottom position to get tight, drive through feet and pull back. Practice and think the long game!

Deadlift; 60x5 120x3 150x2 170x2 190x2 210x2 230x2 250x0 250x0 200x3 Took my toys home at this point. Mmmmmmm... not good. Missed both quite close to my knee. A sign I am not firing at 100%. Added to which my deadlift training has not been good since the Brits. Despite knowing what training got me to 600lbs I chose to discard it and fly from on thing to another. Just didn't build a good enough base and it's too late to start polishing turds now (I could have used a deck chair/titanic refference too!). Yes 250 should have gone considering the double at 230 was nice enough, but gas is low... as is confidance. I was in better shape over a month ago when I pulled 240x2 of a platform. Made the mistake of lifting to heavy to many times last few weeks. Trying out the deadlift suit lured me into the trap and when I binned it I felt I had to do some heavy work raw to somehow catch up. Silly, silly! Looks like it's gona be fun at the Uni champs. Going to have to be very cagy with the deadlifts. After the dust has settled from Uni Champs and Divisonals it's back to a 'Coan' style plan.

Sounds like a bummer, mate. The good news is you have recognised what you think the issue is and can make amends. Doesn't stop it being bloody annoying tho, I often fall into a similar BBing type of trap of forcing the issue on X muscle group while blissfully ignoring the routine I'm using successfully on other parts of my training. When is your next meet then, mate?

Failing take more time at the bottom position to get tight, drive through feet and pull back. Practice and think the long game! in the early days I was so focused on pushing with the legs that I would forget to pull my shoulders up and back, and my ar5e would shoot up into the air

Good point R. Drive down and back. 12/11/09 Bench press; barx20 70x5 90x3 100x3 120x3 (shirt on) 140x3 160x1 no touch 170x1 no touch 180xmiss just touched but couldn't lockout left arm 160x1 touch 150x2 touch 100x3 (shirt off) 110x1 Another tired session. Definate progress in this shirt I feel like this point should have occured 5 weeks ago lol. Just got the shirt to the point were I can get some proper training in. Another fcuk up in the build up to this comp. I am now going to crawl under a rock and lick my wounds until Uni champs. Not thinking of anything else but getting that 690 qualifying total. In other news had mu upgrade viva yestarday before training. Went fine. I knew what are the currecnt weakness' of the document and got some good ideas to develop it into the phd thesis.

Just get some numbers down at the comp. As you know, there isn't any long term linear progression from year to year. Main thing is you're sticking at it! You still got my numbers? Ceteris Paribus, I will be down for the Uni Champs and poss WPC on Sat.

Cool. Yes still have your number. Won't be at WPC sat. Bit of a money thing but just need all the rest I can this meet. Be good to see ya at uni champs though! Actually it not my progression that ireing me. It's the fact I have made bad/not optimal calls in my training. It happens and you learn! After my unequipped meet on 6th of dec I have a twice weekly squat/bench program I am running with a coan deadlift type plan. All number crunched for 8 weeks. Little thinking just, head down and some nice volume on the raw stuff. Looking foward to it.

Good luck tomorrow big man. I'm heading down to watch Dave lift so will keep an eye out for you (I think you're lifting in the same flight).

GBPF Uni Champs went as followed; Weight 89.35 (thanks to chill and ice cream last night) Squat; 250x1 260x1 270x1 (= meet pb) Despite getting my timing wrong and not getting my last warm up in, this was the best equipped squating I have done. Not a red light in sight and the 270 was smooth as. 280 was there but today was about setting up a qualifying total. Bench press; 170x1 175x1 (meet pb) 180x1 (meet pb) And best equipped benching in a meet. Warm up went well and got a touch with 160. Everything on the platform wasn't too much trouble. 170-175 were pretty much smoke shows and got one red light as my right foot slipped somewhat on the 180. Good days and finally did a decent equipped bench. Deadlift; 240x1 250xmiss Pass Whilst very poor deadlifting it's not surprsing as I missed 250 a couple of weeks ago so not in good shape here. 240 was for my qualifying total and job done!! All in all my fav equipped meet yet in terms of overall meet day lifting. Sure it's far from the complete package, but I did everything right in terms of attempt selection to make sure I only needed a low opener deadlifting. There are some vids that will no doubt appear in the ether! Big thanks to fellow mod LMC for the lift home and well done to Dave284 who won the unequipped 90's at his first comp

Cheer guys Yes Fun Meter. I was pleasantly surprised with the squats and bench, particulay the bench. Came good in the end despite a lot of faff. Looking forward to actually getting some proper training in in this shirt!
