Miserable bench session today. My squat has improved unbelievably, but my bench is not improving at all. I think it's because I always do high volume with squats but usually with bench, I'll do a few sets and that's it.

[tomleegolf]

Deadlift

60kg x12

100kg x8

140kg x3 (add belt)

160kg x1

150kg x3

60kg x12 (no belt)

Stiff legged deads

60kg x12, 3 sets

Chin ups

x3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 4 = 20 reps total

Damn, why is my bench and deadlift so shit? 160kg was so hard, it felt so heavy. I think my form is bad on my deadlift so I went back to 60kgs really focusing on correct form.

[tomleegolf]

Squats

20kg x10

60kg x8

100kg x5

120kg x3 (belt)

140kg x1 (belt)

160kg x2 (belt and knee wraps)

160kg x1 (belt and knee wraps) 2nd rep FAIL

Last week of training before North Island Champs. Squats didn't disappoint today as always. 160kgs is actually a new 1RM, and I did 2 reps with it so heaps of improvement there and it gives me loads of confidence going into the comp, at least with my squat.

Alas, with the 2nd set, I hit my first rep a bit high so told myself to sink it lower on the next. Upon beginning my ascent, I felt my right hamstring muscle 'pop'. It wasn't really painful, I could just feel the muscle so I dumped the bar. Nothing's wrong, it's just sore like DOMS, only my right leg. I didn't want to aggravate it so went inside after that.

I'll try 175kg deadlift x2, 2 sets on Wednesday

Not bad today. 140kg and 160kg deadlifts had speed so was pretty happy with them. I couldn't get the 175kg past my knees on the second rep and the second set. Here's a vid of 175kg deadlifts

Got the 1000 pound total! Yeah buddy! Would've gone for setting some NZ powerlifting U74kg SubJunior records but unfortunately I've only been registered for 4 months and you need to be registered for at least 6 months to set records

Squats were awesome, I was a bit apprehensive at the start of the day about getting 180kg. 150 was a warmup, easy as. 165kgs wasn't as fast, a little pause halfway up but still no problem. I was pretty nervous about 180kgs but I needn't have worried. It was easier than the 165kgs, in fact! 190kgs was definitely there, but that's for next time.

Bench was quite disappointing. No PB on the bench today :? First attempt with 90kgs was slow too and got a red light for moving my foot around. The attempts with 95kgs stopped 2 inches off the chest. Bench is really lagging so am thinking of doing an intense bench program to bring it up to par.

Opened on 170kgs for deadlifts which was really a warmup. Jumped 20kgs to 190kgs, which was a 10kg PB. This was a battle. Goal coming into this comp was 200kg deadlift so I really hyped myself up for my last lift of the day. It came off the floor okay, with speed and got it past my knees. My hamstrings weren't strong enough to carry it through though so I had to drop it back on the floor.

I think (?) I came 2nd in the U74kg weight class after Ben Haughey who had an easy 500kg total, he's done 600kgs before. He just wanted to set the U74kg Open record in the deadlift but unfortunately he couldn't quite get 251kgs. Some nice lifting by the Red Machine today and good spotting by tinytraps. Neil Lauaki nearly squatted 380kgs but the bar ended up on the ground as it proved too heavy for the 5 spotters! Great squats and deadlifts by BarBrother too, 280kgs and 270kgs respectively I think?

Looking forward to the next comp, probably the WBOP champs in April. If I hit 200kg squat, 110kg bench and 220kg deadlift raw there, I'll look into getting some suits and shirts to start handling some really heavy weights!

Good lifting Tom well done

[Danomyte]

Good lifting Tom. Congrats on the PBs :clap:

[bar-belle]

Hey Tom it was good to see you lift yesterday....your gain on your total is phenomenal. A great way to end the years lifting and good things coming for next year :clap: :clap: :clap:

[drizzt]

Awesome lifting Tom, you've come so far in such a short amount of time, really impressive mate :clap:

Serious, that 200/110/220 total must be damn close, and that would be completely epic for an unequipped sub-junior... at 70-odd kg too :shock:

Stick at it bro, you could do some really great things if you keep heading in this direction :nod:
