Pseudonym Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Hey bro, good to hear from you. Congrats on taking first place on your first comp! That's an awesome achievement! That deadlift vid you posted looks like a strong lift - might even have been a bit more in the tank? @Realtalk, how do his numbers compare to NZ lifters?

Sort of, not on paper just in my head , 2 heavy days 5x5 mostly and 1 day building up to 1 rms that's deadlifts and squats , also mix it up with 80% of 1 rms and do 3 - 5 reps 5 sets.. I could probably start doing bench twice a week , I train mixed hypertrophy and strength as I want to look good also lol How come you ask , what your thoughts?

Is PTC south melb too far to be your regular gym? from memory you were training in st kilda yeah? easy tram mish if u dont drive bro and could get some good coaching. even if you wanted to follow a cookie cutter type powerlifting program it would do you good, happy to recommend something if you decide to go that way.
