Bigken1985 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Mon 23/5/16 Squats comp (belt sleeves) barx12 40x5 60x5 80x3 100x3 120x2 140x1 160x1 180x1 190x1 200x1 Absolutely wrapped with this effort, after the 190 i had some doubt, but it was smoother than that one, the oly shoes are working great for me atm, feel like im back plus more from nationals last year at a lower bw rack pulls below knee 160 x6 sets x4 Tonight was a bit of a test on squats, less than two weeks out, need to keep bw in check too. sitting around 95 in mornings on my scale which is generally a bit heavier, but still. have not exactly been eating clean. Thats ok, as long as i come in under that 93. no stupid weight cuts like last time HarryB, Monarchking, Realtalk and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigken1985 Posted May 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Tues 24/5/16 Bench paused barx20 40x5 60x5 80x3 100x3 120x2 120x2 120x2 120x2 120x2 @RPE 9.5 Incline bench 60x5 80x5x5 Kb standing press 8kg 2x15 Incline lying row/delt fly 6k 3x20 (short rest) Standing hammer curls 6kg 2x50 Good session today, a little flat today after going heavy with squats yesterday. 120 felt heavier than i wanted, but they were decent pauses. No idea how bench is going to go at the meet. Will probably open slightly lighter and go 120/125/130. Lifting for the total this comp. Need it all to add up . want to at least go 7/9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Na, never competed internationally. I wont make the team atm in open. Open is stupid competitive. I make the qualifying totals but there is a limited number from each club. Im not really at a stage where i have the $$ to go overseas anyway. I enjoy competing at a notional level, thats competitive as it is. Where as my mate thats a M2 is the only one in his weight class. if he want to go to Oceanias he can as theres not anyone else in his class. Best total is 562.5@98.4. that was 200/130/232.5.

Its just a reality of natty lifting. Sure there are genetic freaks out there, ive never been naturally strong. my first total was 482.5 . so 40k per year so far. i think im doing good, eat a dick bro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETN Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yeah bro you're doing awesome. Getting in paper for benching 120kg is dream result. I haven't been in paper for anything much apart from crashing a car. Probably won't give the dick eating thing a go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETN Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Yeah bro upset about that and jealous that I'm not a major player in the timaru property market. Was thinking (largely inspired by yourself) of doing an IPF comp though next time I'm back in nz. Can you compete in nationals as a novice?

Bigken1985 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 nobody really cares about novice comps. cant exactly say you lift in the ipf if you've only done a novice comp. ( you can only do one as a novice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being tested is best way to not fail a test IME anyway. You could probably do multiple comps as a novice using a fake name in different areas of the country?

Realtalk Posted May 25, 2016 Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Novice comps don't mean shit. its like winning a novice bbing class at nats and saying you're a NZ champion. Bigken1985 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure even if I stopped lifting and taking gear for a year or more I'd total over 600kg with a 3 or 4 week prep. I'm not actually going to do an ipf comp though bro. Was joking. Be waste of time and be pretty boring comp to watch I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigken1985 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 26/5/16 Deadlift Just to prove i really do suck 60x6 100x4 140x2 180x1 200x1 220x1 230x1 240x0 Psyched myself out of this, spending too long down at the bar setting up. just need to set and go. I have pulled 240 for a grinder a long time ago, but not today. Hate missing lifts, have not missed in a while.
