Skeletor Posted December 25, 2014 Report Share Posted December 25, 2014 Out with the old journal and in with a new one as pretty sick of the old one.Been lifting for about 5 years starting at 59kg as a drinker and smoker. Gave up and shot to 72kg within a year and a half. Had slow and steady gains form there on. Fell off a roof about 2 years ago and broke my heel bone which stuffed leg training for a year and then took up powerlifting and currently today I am 85kg but average 83kg. Age 34Weight 182.5 to 185kg averageHeight 170cmSex MaleOccupation Plumber/ Gasfitter/ Roofer/ Heating Owner, Operator small business.Current lifts Squat 220kg raw, Bench 150kg pause, Deadlift 250kg Currently running a bench program for 12 weeks to boost the bench with a goal of a 160 to 170 pause and in the second week and second session was today. Hover pause bench. 125kg x 5 sets of 3 with a 2 second negative, 3 second pause hovering an inch above chest . DB shoulder press. 35kg x 4 sets of 12 seated. DB Rows. 35kg x 4 sets of 12. Felt great today . Bench strength is definitely getting stronger and the control on the way down has greatly improved. Only 2 weeks into the program and I can already feel the changes taking place. Got through all the workout quite easily. reddog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
