EliteProAli Posted July 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2016 Obviously I have a goal to achieve this year but after that might slowly try to get into the 83s if possible. I know I can do it but would it be quality size? Thats the concern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone the way of just getting as big as i can no matter what in the past, you just get tubby and lifts are still average. In saying that you may need to do just that. Add size at all costs then come back to where u want, sounds like it wouldn't be too hard to drop back if needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteProAli Posted July 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 What's up Kiwis! Feeling mentally better and prepared to workout again. Nothing interesting tonight - trying to ease back into the program and adjusting accordingly if necessary. Squats : 180kg x 1 (no belt / sleeves) (not shown) 150kg 3 x 3 (no belt / sleeves) Bench press: 140kg x 1 (no belt / wraps) 100kg 2 x 10 (no belt / wraps) No accessories were performed tonight. Will give deadlifts a go on Sunday and do some belt-less work. Off to stretch / mobilize then spend some time with the wife. ... And sneak some Diablo 3 time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteProAli Posted July 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 What's up guys. Today's workout consisted of: 7 sets of 3 177.5kg Deadlifts (video) 5 sets of 5 115kg Bench Press (video) 2 sets of 8 65kg Incline Bench Press 4 sets of 8 80kg Barbell Rows 3 sets of 12 50kg Face Pulls Today felt pretty average to be honest. Everything felt rather heavy and form felt very off. On camera it looked ok though. I guess maybe it was because 2 things. 1. Didn't sleep very well due to having a cold 2. Didn't mobilize / warm up adequately Macros were 165p/80f/410c - weighing in at 75kg's on the dot. Spent most of my day doing house chores and youtubing Jesse Norris and Mark Bell. Pretty chill day, just preparing for the 9-5 grind tomorrow :( eLm0 and Bigken1985 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliteProAli Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 What up homies I decided to sigh up for a bench meet this weekend - bit of a rash decision but I'm itching to get on the platform again. Plus I don't care as much about placings anymore. Just want to do my best in a competition setting. Here's a video from last night weighing 75.2kg and managed a 152.5kg pause. In the video it looked pretty tough but I feel like it moved faster. Will open on 140kg and if that flies I will do 150kg on my second attempt. If 140kg feels 'meh' then I will make 150kg my final attempt. Weighing in at 75kg on the dot this morning.

Mate I'm just respecting your forum by wearing a T-shirt Plus I'm tryna impress the wife ;) (yeah right, she could care less LOL) Plus this is a PB for me!

The bench is ok! ultimately over time (if possible FOR ME) I want 4 plates for a pause like this Ok so the belt helps the same way : ) - let's me brace against it but I definitely think wrist wraps help a shit tonne IMO. At the end of the day you want to create tightness in all 3 lifts - I think I am most confident in my bench in creating tightness. Still need a bit more time to feel the same way about my squats and deads unfortunately lol. Also arching helps not only by limiting ROM but using more of them fiBrEgAinZ here's a pic for you Pseudo!

EliteProAli Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Well said Aron! I agree about the lower back etc :) btw guys - I did a triple on my PB and I think I coulda done more but refrained from doing so to conserve energy. Honestly if I get beaten into the ground for doing shit like this before a meet I deserve it and know why - no excuses loool HarryB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
