sometimes using a thumbless grip on squats can let you carry the bar lower.

Despite a strong passion for the sport of powerlifting.....not prepared to lose thumbs just yet

[startinfromscratch]

[Panzer]

Yeah just taking the p*ss

Will try that, although the problem is flexibility, short arms and a thick back. Just need to get more aggressive with that initial push to get the bar down my back.

Sat/Sun

Sat - Did some conditioning....yeah I know, WTF.....flipped the tyre, dragged the sled, used the sledgehammer, shoulder pressed the log, a few bi and tri's. Getting a little too close to 120 and basically not feeling the best, heavy and slow essentially. Can't chase my 2 and 5yr boys around the garden like I used to and also getting down to the deadlift bar is a struggle.

Sun - 45 min hill walk.

[drizzt]

[thatwaslight]

nice work mate looking strong! what is your raw max bench?

[Panzer]

Thanks guys, sorry.....journal as taken a back seat

North Islands

285kg Squat

227.5kg Bench

252.5kg Deadlift

Only lift I missed was my 3rd attempt bench, 235kg, double movement and head came off the bench a little.

Awesome weekend and great company. Impressive lifting from the CBC crew, BB and PB taking out records and Brett lifting an impressive 762 at 83kg! Boy is strong!

Raw bench.....good question...I really have no idea haha, last time I did it, it must have been close to 6 months ago???? 160kg it was...must have gone up a little since then! I really should test it as I'm still using a percentage of that 160 in my workouts.

Auckland Bench next weekend! Bring it

[Panzer]

Customised programme these past two weeks. Predominantly bench for obvious reasons, a little dead and squat in there as we well but nothing over 50% and 5x6 for each.

Did some reps in the shirt last night. Was meant to be 85% but as I still don't know what my 100% in that superkat is, we upped the weight a little so I could touch to a carpet at least.

Did one set with 200 to a 3 board. 3 reps.

3x1x210kg (carpet)

Felt good, shirt was a little looser as apart from a Sat night infusion, hadn't quite done the nutro and H2O justice.

5x5x100 Floor Press

Elbow and Shoulder Pre-hab

[hjp]

Massive numbers at the NI's :nod: 300 squat soon aye?

[Panzer]

Yeah could do at this bodyweight.....but thinking of dropping in bodyweight as currently 117kg and at 5ft 9, that's alot of weight to carry around. Can't even walk up stairs or around a mall without feeling it!

If I could do similar weights at say 103kg.....would be ideal \:D/

[drizzt]

Massive, massive weights bro, good stuff :clap:
