I know you really want that greasy goodness.

[poos_n_wees]

Is that a protein shake or milkshake? Is it chocolate? And where are those burgers from? McDonalds?

These details are extremely important to me.

[biggurl27]

Those are McDonalds burgers by the looks of things :shifty:

'izzat the voice of experience :pfft:

I never liked their burgers - but chicken tenders, mmm

There's a great junkfood chain in the states called Chick-Fil-A, does yummy chicken, prolly a bazillion calories a piece tho :shock:

[SoaringSwine]

3 McDonalds double cheese burgers and one mass gaining shake for the record.

Nice. And I'd gladly swap my post training meal of chicken & vege for yours

Not my regular meal of course. Just had a bit of a craving. Now I won't eat McDonalds for another 6 months.

dont you powerlifters get too eat pretty much everything you want ?

[SoaringSwine]

Depends on your go on which weight class you're in etc. Would be silly to put too much fat on if it means you're going to not be competitive in a higher weight class.

Heck yes, that's a "nice wee surprise"....awesome work there SS :clap:

What's the tempo on the speed-box squats?

[SoaringSwine]

Not too sure what you mean by tempo... But I go fairly fast down to the box, then try to explode up as much as possible.

DE Bench/Bench test

Bench Press

5*30

3*40

2*50

1*60

1*70

1*80 - paused PB, previously 1*77.5 on 24/4 - bit of a misundersanding between OB and I, he thought it was a touch and go rep, I though paused, so it was a long time before I got the press command. Rep went up easily.

0*85 - couldn't quite get through my sticking point

0*85 - not happening

Not too happy with that. I was expecting to get that 85. I'll put it down to a bad day and get it at the meet.

Speed Bench Press

10 sets of 3*42.5 - 4 comp grip, 3 medium grip, 4 close grip

Close Grip Bench Press

5*50

3*72.5

One Arm DB Extensions

2 sets of 8*22.5lb each arm

2 set of 8*20lb each arm

Front Plate Raises

3 sets of 10*20

Comments

Bit disappointed, but I've still gained 5kg, possibly 7.5 on a better day, on my bench in just over a month.

Plan for the next couple weeks:

Tuesday: Test free squat max, do some box squats etc.

Thursday: normal routine

Saturday: Work up to deadlift opener (155kg?) then normal routine minus a couple exercises

Sunday: Bench opener + normal routine

Tuesday: Squat opener + deload session

Thursday: deload session

Saturday: Hit some fuckin' PBs!

[Mike Zero]

Don't forget you would've built up a lot of shirt strength as well with all the board presses and tricep work you've been doing over the past month for when you get into one. Very nice work in the deadlift.

[teamfatboy]

Not too sure what you mean by tempo... But I go fairly fast down to the box, then try to explode up as much as possible.

It's the timing - so if you were down in 2s, hold 1s, up fast, straight into the next rep with no rest, that'd be 2/1/0/0. Sounds brutal, regardless of the details.

But good work with the bench :clap: - I might have to come along in two weeks, to see you blast past some of those goals you set way back when!

Yeah my lockout is pretty strong relative to my off the chest strength. Hopefully I'll get into a shirt sometime this year.

Yeah the 2 reps are all over in a couple seconds. They aren't too taxing, but I do complete all 10 sets in 10 minutes. And definately come to the House, you might be tempted by the darkside.

You better catch up then.

[poos_n_wees]

...I'd like to think my results today were because of better technique and strength increase, as I won't be having that crazy energy drink again. Damn you PnW, I'm hyped up like crazy right now, I normally never have any caffeine.

:pfft:

Placebo my ass!

Urgh, not much sleep last night, spent all day in court and hardly ate anything then went to train after that. My body is NOT used to late training.

Competition Squat

5*20

5*40

5*40

3*60

2*80

1*100

1*120

1*130 - PB - previous 1*127.5 on 24/4

1*135 - PB

The 135 was a real grinder, was a pretty deep good morning too. Hopefully 140+ will be on the cards come comp day.

13" Box Squats

5*60

5*80

3*100

3*112.5

Was thinking of doing 3*125 but that 112.5 was hard enough. I'll leave that for the next low box cycle, not the right day for it.

GHRs

5 sets of 5*BW

Partial Deadlifts

3 sets of 20*95

Ow, I'm going to have a sore arse tomorrow, *preempts the inevitable joke*

Reverse Hypers

Pulldown Abs

5 sets of 15*35

Comments

Fun to train with a bunch of other people around for a change, but still wasn't completely on my game. Maybe I'll change my work hours to fit my training schedule a bit better.

[SoaringSwine]

Made it onto the news tonight (well TV1 late news, don't know about the 6PM one)! I was the guy in the blue shirt walking behind the Human Rights Review Tribunal Members in the Child Poverty Action Group hearing.

[poos_n_wees]

Your moment of glory! What were you doing there?

And 127.5 to 135 on the squat is a big jump 8) Well done.
