soundsgood Posted May 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yeah bro I chopped the 320 high, standard gym bar was flopping all over the show when I walked it out (not really designed for that much weight) so I broke at the knees instead of the hips first for some unknown reason and missed depth. BTW it wasnt the camera mans fault on Tom Lees 280, it worked on the phone when we watched playback. Balls deep and one hell of a grind. Bloody awesome squat alright World record for 125s in GPC is 365 yeah, its higher in the 110s - bloody Dan Green - although I would like to out squat Dan Green too haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsgood Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 GPC national champs was yesterday Was hoping to finally hit a 900 raw total and had my lifts all mapped out but it wasn't to be on the dayWeighed in at 117.3kg on Friday morning and then 118.2kg after lunch for bench only (I did both comps)I weighed in at 124.2kg on sat morning so my refeed and rehydrate was pretty successfulSquats - 320 / 350 / 370xBench - 205 / 215 / 225xBench only - 215 / 220x / passDeads - 285 / 295 / 305xFinished on 860 @ 117.3kg And 215 @ 118.2kg bench only Won 1st place raw male powerlifting and 1st place raw bench only I am happy to win but just a bit disappointed I didn't claim what I went for which was the world record attempt squat and the 900 total. I sunk the 370 squat and popped back out of the hole through the grind point but got stuck at a point I've never failed at before. When you have 370kg on your back it's incredibly hard to take a breathe and hold onto the air, the weight just pushes the air out of you and my normal breathing pattern was kicked out of sync. I will start incorporating some super heavy lockouts and breathing so I can get used to the heavier weights on my shoulders.The 225 bench attempt was okay but I stalled about 3/4 of the way, my usual sticking point. Just wasn't to be today The 305 deadlift came to the knees but couldn't finish it off. After lifting for 10 hours I just had nothing left in the tank.Extremely tired and sore today, burst both eye capillaries lifting so my eyes are blood shot and watery so probably feel better about my lifting in a few days once I've recovered but I hate leaving lifts I should have got on the platform.On a positive note it was an extremely successful comp and I was over the moon with the competition especially in the 110s. And Tom Lee had a mint Comp too. Court being the first female to total over 1000lb was pretty sick to watch Cameron_R and Pseudonym 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 just a bit disappointed I didn't claim what I went for which was the world record attempt squat and the 900 totalI think that'll come soon enough. What were they saying about it being an "unofficial" world record attempt? Would you have needed someone like a scrutineer there to make it official?

soundsgood Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 Yes we would have needed 2 class 1 international referees to be reffing the Comp. At present there are only a handful qualified who all live in Europe so flying them out was going to be outside of our budget at this comp. Hence why most world records are set at the world champs which is fair enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 What are the Musclefuel meals like bro? Have been wanting to try them for a while now because I never meal prep then end up eating mcds and look and feel like shit . Do you just work out your weekly / daily macros and they send it all out to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundsgood Posted July 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 The Muscle Fuel meals are made with exactly what I need.I'm only loosely tracking my macros at the moment. I aim for a kg of meat per day and around 800g carbs so each meal is 250g chicken breast, thigh, fish or steak and then I have 200g mixture of Kumara, potato, rice and pumpkin. I have 150g vege with each meal made up of Green Beans, Asparagus, mushroom, pepper and I will have about 30g of low cal sauce like Coconut Aioli or Smokey BBQI love the fact that I don't have to worry about meal prep ever and when its meal time I rip the packet open, microwave for 2 mins and eat. They come out like they have only just been made. Makes everything so easy And Im not just saying this because I own the company lmao. Real talk can back me up here haha Skeletor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realtalk Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yeah I get them as well but I have no idea what the macros of each one is cause I ditch the greens and add more meat and extra BBQ sauce lolol. I don't wanna pay for broccoli and beans lol. And I freeze my meals, u find the greens if you freeze, thore out and reheat it leave water in the container. I dont care anyway I eat enough Veges other times. I try to eat 2 per day which is going to be 1000cal or just over total. So 1000cal from good food is worth more than 1000cal from McDonald's as we all know (well some of us know that). Sometimes I just have 1 per day though. I don't don't count my calories and track my macros its kind of just habit I eat what I need to eat I fuel up before training and fuel back up afterwards rest of me pretty chilled. I would eat more than two per day but I can't afford it and would probably get sick of it anyway if I had more than 2 of them a day. I quite fussy so I don't like eating variety of diff meals I order same ones every single time as soundsgood will tell you. Lol. But yeah I find them really good. My favs are chicken thigh and kumara, basmati rice and meat pattie with BBQ sauce and chicken corn carne on rice. There lotsa other companies do it too, some my mates get muscle chow but they look like fucking shit tbh. And muscle fuel no problems with me adding more of this and less of that. Plus they don't stuff my order up either. It's all g. Skeletor and maccaz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsgood Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yesterday was quick squats and calves session. I have a hernia in my mid section that really plays up on leg press, leg extension and lunges so I pretty much just do various squats for my quad workoutWarmed up in squat rack with 6 sets Then did 3 sets @ 220kg 12 reps / 10 reps / 8 reps Then did a set of 140kg x 16Some calves then finished. No time for front squats today, think I might train them with hams later this weekI left plenty in the tank in the first set of 220 as I was hoping to go 3 sets of 12 but it wasn't to be. Got gassed pretty quick with the short rest breaks. Coming back to the higher rep range with f*ck all rest between sets is gonna take me a while to get used to Next week or maybe even at the expo I might go for a bald to the wall 220 squat set and try beat my previous best of 17 reps. The squat depth in the video above are not all comp depth but not too worried. Legs are still feeling fried and I'm not trying to increase my comp squat at the moment. I don't think sets of 12 help your 1RM at all when you're at an elite level. It's just nice to change up your training every now and again Realtalk and Skeletor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundsgood Posted July 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Last year at the expo Fitness imports had a power rack and they were doing a bench for reps challenge. If there was a similar set up this year I was gonna see if I could do a double bodyweight squat for reps challenge or something like that Be good to watch the big boys flight in the IPF record breakers comp.Joseph Whittaker has said in his interview with NZ fitness expo website that his goal is 900 unequipped so be interesting to see if he can hit that before I do. Im not sure if he has gone 800 yet?

soundsgood Posted July 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Mean bro! Good numbers all round. The NZPF records is only 800 total for the u120s and Michael Iovine has it. I realise you can only set the records at record breakers, Nats or world events so he could have a sick regional comp but not get the records.Edit: I see he's doing the 120+ class and his listed comp PBs are 300 / 217.5 / 310 - 827.5 total.
