Cool PB

(PR? Are you a yank?)

Dude its for when i get some chuck's and go to westside, dont want them to take the piss out of me...haha. 130 went up ok, hopefully rinse out a paused 140 in a few months. After our session in chi ive been keeping my feet flat too, so hopefully that wouldve passed in a comp.

I'm impressed with the benching progress. Good work you.

I've got a beanie you can borrow? Need the head shaved goattee look too! lol

Cheers ears, seems to be going well right now. Also elbow pain at a minimum- could this be due to pausing? Or maybe no floor pressing. I really want to hit a 140.

Facial hair could be an issue as we ve discussed. Might shave my head and use the hair proceeds from that!!

Pleased with the rack pulls, felt fine even after squatting and RDLing yesterday.

Nice squating. Good volume of sound work!
 
Indeed good last 2 sessions.

Cheers ears, things are going ok at the moment. I really want to ramp my squat up, less that 180 is a tad gay really!

Correct.

Lol hopefully should hit that in a few months. I refuse to do any sort of pl comp unless im going to hit 3/4/500 lbs at least.

You have the strength and good technique. Just a matetr of getting down to it, which you are!

Cheers ears, I reckon if I were to do a comp next week and it went well id hit 160-165/130-135/220-235 so in terms of total id be 20-30kg short. Most of that on the squat!
 
I think most of it is a mental thing now, seems to be a barrier at 160, which really isnt a heavy weight at all.

Played a round 1 knockout fixture today, postponed from wednesday, vs oxford maroons. Dicked all over them 46-16 I played well, got some good hits in and properly lit this kid up in the 1st half. Not feeling to bad now, see whats the aching is like tomo.

'Not feeling to bad'
 
What a dickhead, felt savage all day! I think I broke something in my nose because ive been swallowing blood for about the last 36 hours now.  Neck, abs and back all sore as is left calf. Mega dosing fish oil today and going to get on with lots of stretching etc tomorrow as we have another game on weds.
 
Found out we re playing glos, big local rivals and they put us out of the cup last year. I really dislike their coach and most of the their players, cant wait to play them. I feel genuinely sorry for the first person that runs anywhere near me!

Not been a good week, ment to play again on weds hence no training on tuesday, inured my knee in the warm up so couldnt play. Livid. Food also not been great. We won the game like 80-8 so no biggie, on to the next round!
