Week sunday mate. Yeah i ll squat light on monday I think, like really light. Depending on how my bench is feeling tonight things could be coming together quite nicely.

20kg to go.

Bench at home with LM

bar x loads
60kg x 5
80kg x 3
100kg x 3
110kg x 3
130kg x 2*
100kg x 5
100kg x 5

* The **** bench in the **** gym at home isnt attached to the floor in anyway, so on the first rep it slid about 2-3 inches backwards, totally ****ing me up. Reset under the bar and did a 2nd. I think 3 was there for a PR but there we go, no great loss. I ll be opening with 130 so happy enough.

Did a load of various re/prehab stuff and some stretching.

Im supposed to deadlift friday, that may or may not happen depending on how I feel. I definitely wont take an opener as I know I can do it and I dont want the extra fatigue.

20kg to go.

Yeah don't do what I did an **** up your planned openr twice! Mind you it's no longer my planned opener :)

Yeah I kinda figure its more of a mental thing now, especially as I dont really know what to expect on the day. Might pull a single at 180-200 friday then bin it apart from some very light stuff.

20kg to go.

I am gona have a decent bench session thurs then a mod/low vol raw squat session sat. Then mon will deadlift up to 140 or something equally light for naff for a single of two. Other than that eat and rest and cross my fingers on this one.

Cheers 13 mate.

Uni comp report:

Got up at 5:15 to get to Bournemouth in plenty of time. Livid. Warm ups for the squat were pretty average, I was nervous as I didnt really know what to expect etc etc.

Squat:


1st: 160, squatted it fine but racked it before the command. FAIL.
2nd: Upped it to 165, easy. PASS.
3rd: 170, smashed it. PASS

Bench:


1st: 130, crushed it. PASS
2nd: 140, crushed it. PASS
3rd: 145, ****ed it. FAIL

Deadlift:


1st: 220, went up fine although it didnt feel amazing PASS
2nd: 240, 7.5kg PR, slow at the top but it went PASS
3rd: 245, very hard to lockout but I got it, 12.5kg PR. PASS


Totalled 545kg.

I left some weight on the platform in the squat due to my **** up, but I still equalled my PR. Ditto the bench, I had 145 but I lost a bit of tightness and bollocksed it.

Had a great day, thanks to LMC for coming along. Good to see Iain lifting as always (I especially enjoyed him massaging my lower back with white sticky fluid).

20kg to go.

Cheers Iain. Forgot to mention I won the 90kg raw open and U23 class.

Not done yet. I might have mentioned I was feeling a bit Pat 'n' Mick the night before, and judging by the smells coming from my arse there was defintitely something not right, so after dropping Kenders home (and getting a bit lost getting myself home), once back home myself I came over all queasy, hurled my ring up, went to bed.
 
I'm trying to head home at a decent time today so will see what I can do tonight with the vids.

Awesome total Dave.

When you get that squat up to match your other lifts, you will be a force on the national unequipped scene.
