Your moment of glory! What were you doing there?

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

Teaching the tribunal members how to use the programme to view and manipulate the documents.

And yeah 7.5kgs is pretty good for a months work, hopefully I have more in me though.

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.

Um, newbie question, what's "shirt strength"?

In powerlifting we can use special equipment. A bench shirt is one such piece, as you lower the bar it store a lot of energy and helps you push it back up.

How u doin' SS, all set for Saturday?

Entry #51 - Tuesday 10 June 2008

Just did my bench (75kg) and squat (120kg) openers today.

In a fairly masochistic move, I've decided I'm probably going to be doing a German high volume squat programme following the meet. 1233 squats (excluding warmups) in 7 weeks. So yeah, expect a lot of depression and self pity in this journal starting in a couple weeks time.

do you mean 1rep, 2reps, 3reps, 3reps? or somthing different.

[SoaringSwine]

I mean one thousand two hundred and thirty three reps. Squatting three times a week, Monday and friday there are 6 sets starting at 5, 6 or 7 reps, then adding a rep for each set, so it might go 6/7/8/9/10/11/12 reps(same weight). Wednesday is 5 sets of 15 reps.

Yeah something like that. The weight isn't light either... I've been told to bring a bucket.

Apparently it was used by German Olympic lifters (East I think) to pack on some size to move up a weight class. If you complete it you also put a lot on to your squat, like 25kgs. Also it will give me the opportunity to really drive home my technique.

[Old Bull]

From memory we have had 4 or 5 members complete this programme and a couple that have not.

He gets himself into a Special Club those who have names on their own "Buckets"

It is a off season conditioning programme designed to

(i) Improve a lifters Squat Technique in minimal time

(ii) Bring lifters back up to speed from injury or lay off

(iii) Move a lifter into the next weight class

(iv) Teach Mental Toughness which most lack.

In his last week he will do:

Monday

57 Squats at 85% of his 1RM 6 Sets 7,8,9,10,11,12

Wednesday

5 sets x 15 reps 74% of 1RM Light Day :doh:

Fiday

57 Squats at 87% of his 1RM 6 Sets 7,8,9,10,11,12 :clap:

And behold a Squat Machine is Born

The sign he will look at above the PowerStations

"Part Animal"

"Part Machine"

All Powerhouse

[teamfatboy]

Yikes!

What's the rest between sets ?

No wonder the slogan says part-animal, part-machine!
