Bigken1985 Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Thought I'd start a new log. I find it's good to have a log even though insta etc. Early December I hit a 625kg gym total at about 103 bw. Happy with gains made in 2017. It was a light year competing. I did 570 in march and then a 145 bench only mid yearish. I have packed in a decent amount of bw and some of it is power belly I'll take that for the numbers I'm putting up. It's interesting that even though I've had a massive life stress this year if buying a business, I have still made great gains. I put this down to the less stress of competing. 2018 I've made the call to compete with gpc and ipl if a comp slots in with them. End if the day I compete for fun and I'm not world class at this point so I might as well lift where it's the most fun. Regardless I'll battle with whoever I'm up against. Weighing up jumping in wraps or sticking with sleeves. I guess if I want to maximize my total and be more competitive I'll go with wraps. I've used them a few times and are starting to get used to them a little. Goals for 2018 Squat Sleeves. 235 Wraps 240-250 Bench 160 Deadlift 272.5 (600lbs) Total 650 These numbers are reasonably conservative. I got 270 well past my knees and just couldn't lock out.

Bigken1985 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Tues 20.2.18 Bench paused 120x1 140x1 150x1 152.5x0 Not a great day. Gym is flooded again. Weather is crap. Shoulder and arms are fucked. I suspect from all the low bar and possibly bailing on yesterday's squat. Left shoulder felt nasty so didn't really push the issue on the 152.5 3 weeks out from gpc shoreline 3 lift. Just need to get my body to hold up.

Bigken1985 Posted March 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Currently 2 days out from comp having to cut around a kilo to get under 100. Should be good tho. Have hit openers in last week or two. Moving pretty good. Body just healing up now. I'm going to push my limits to get 630 plus. Dream day would be 650 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigken1985 Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Bit of a update Since last gpc comp have stayed around 103/104kg. Have a push pull this weekend. In prep I hit a easy 151.5 bench. Have switched to a heels up bench set up which had helped emensly. Also ripped a easy 250 pull. Havnt really maxed out too hard this prep. Will see how it pans out. Have been doing alot of Hatfield squats put up 200x6 and 195x8 both beltless. After this push pull its 11 weeks out from my next gpc comp. Will jump back in wraps. I really want to maximise them so want to get plenty of time in them. Also want to show up with my bench from now on. My last 3 lift i only got my opener at 140 gazza 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
