iaink -> Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 15:47:53)
I am enjoying posting on MT and post on a few training logs here so have decided to put my log on here as well as sugdenbarbell and powerandbulk. I am an unequipped powerlifter currently lifting in the 90kg class for both BWLA and BDFPA. The sunday before last I lifted in BDFPA unequipped finals placing 2nd, whilst I am also the BWLA unequipped champ at 90kg (held last sept). My best lifts are 230kg squat, 142.5kg bench press (gym pb 150) and 260kg deadlift with a best total of 632.5kg. The next comp on the horizon is the EDFPA unequipped champs which will be held on 21-22nd of june near Dublin. I also have a gym comp in may which will contested by floor to overhead anyway lift and deadlift. Beyond that there will be my entry into equipped lifting, probably at my BWLA divisonals in the autumn. Here's a couple of vids of my openers and 2nd lifts in bench and deadlift at this years BDFPA; 135KG bench press http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEJ6UVAcaAM 142.5kg bench press http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9tcTr-9qGo 250kg deadlift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdoKky659hk 260kg deadlift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WyZ4ck47ST4 Anyway you can now see my sartorial elegance on the platform!! 15/4/08 Power clean and push press (repsxsets)- 60x1x3, 70x1x2, 80x1x2, 90x1 Barbell rows- 60x10, 70x10, 80x10 Hammer curls- 25lbx10, 35lbx10 Just a little session today, and unlike any real session I'd normally do. I just wanted to clear the cobbwebs from a weeks hols to Egypt that I got back from on monday. Tomorrow will be the start of my real training cycle for Euro's with some deadlift training.

you made that 140kg bench look easy mate

theiopener -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 16:28:00)
hey Ian, nice lifts mate, how tall are you ?

iaink -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 16:28:29)
142.5kg!! Cheers. I took 150 on my 3rd attempt but despite a decent effort didn't have it in me. In hindsight should have done 147.5 but there you go. I am not the best bencher and miss lifts when things are slightly off!

iaink -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 16:29:23)
I'm 5'9" (just over) or 176cm.

Ak_88 -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 17:40:48)
Sweet. Now i can spam you here with my questions [:D]

iaink -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 17:42:44)
Beats your emails ending up in my trash box lol! Good to see a sugden re-invasion Martin!

Ak_88 -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 17:44:21)
LOL - i blame the MT mailing system, the supreme quality of them is like no other! Hows your MSc going anyway? Almost ready to submit my dissertation protocol for ethical approval so thats one less thing to worry about [:)]

iaink -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 17:49:08)
PhD! Did my MSc half a decade ago lol! Good to see your ticking along well at uni. EMG stuff your diss?

sivvy1 -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 17:52:08)
good to see your catering to my need's, i can look at your journal in more that one place now, which is nice your spotter on your bench's looks hot, how much of your sucess would you say is down to him?

Ak_88 -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 17:52:53)
[:D] I thought it was a bit odd you were doing an MSc but teaching, oh well!. Yeah i'm comparing Eccentric & Concentric loading techniques using EMG on pec/delt/tri at different loads. Should be a good bit of research and with any luck get it published. Everything else is going fairly well, got 3x coursework and a practical exam in 4 weeks time so its time management to the extreme at the moment. Whats your PhD on then?

iaink -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 18:21:11)

He's a big lad but I have age and experience on my side [:D]! AK; 'The effects of training and beta-alanine supplementation on skeletal muscle carnosine synthesis'

sivvy1 -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 19:43:18)
lol, looking back i think you got a bit of false confidence cus of the early call, but there we go, it was really close though!! 147.5 would have gone i reckon

iaink -> RE: Iain K's Powerlifting (Apr. 15 2008 20:09:16)
I'd pretty much agree Carl!

AK; 'The effects of training and beta-alanine supplementation on skeletal muscle carnosine synthesis' Awesome - are you using an IKD as your training method then? Saw one of those things yesterday in our environmental lab, 'kin huge things!

I met this c*nt called Iain at a BDFPA PLing meet earlier this year. He tried to molest me with his humour and a tube of Deep Heat.
