I told you to take that 120 on your third :lol:

:shifty: I know but I had to redeem myself Pman and get those 3 whites but don't worry will be smashing that by next comp..promise :lol:

im so proud of you! cheers for the little pep talks inbtween attempts....it was a good day at the office for the crew

Auww thanks Big John... that's the way we roll :nod: Uh and you were impressive mate...those squats were squat-tastic :clap:

Way to go Bar-belle :clap: Awesome work!! 112.5 Dead... wicked :nod:

Have you done many of these comps before?

Cheers MG would have to say the deadlift is my favourite lift at the mo. No this is only my second comp, first was in July.

:ditto: what she said - great work, HUGE deadlift! Hope y'all are relaxing today!

Hey thanks TFB...yes relaxing today and will take this week to reset my programme and may even do a bit of cardio(I know swear word huh) /conditioning this week but no weights which will seem a bit strange :shock:

Awesome work - good for you! :clap:

Tah very much CC!

Represent!!!!!!

Awesome effort yay you and the team

Well deserved rest... :grin:

Oh cheers Nessie...yeah I'm really proud of everyone who went...just such a good atmosphere and loads of support no matter what weights you lifted.

Well it's a new week and now time to get A into G and back into training especially after my very decadent weekend escapade :lol:night out at Gengy's, 5 pancakes, maple syrup, cream etc etc and a calorie laden breakie in a posh hotel..all in less than 24 hours :naughty: bad barbelle!!

Did some GPP tonight, started with bike to warm up and light stretches, followed by farmers walks 20kg around the carpark x 4, 60 hits to the tyre, sled dragging x 4 round the carpark with 10kg on (sled 20kg) and then 30 hanging leg raises...I'll call that my entree :lol:

The plan is to spend the next two weeks on a conditioning programme before beginning an 8 week sheiko programme which should take me up to the end of November when I will do skills evaluation and see where the numbers take me. Can't wait to get stuck in but will be patient and do the conditioning work as instructed otherwise my trainer will be on my case :roll:

нет санки на мой спортзал. Мне так грустно!

Killer on the quads especially up the drive :?

Nice to see the plans, BB - sounds like we can expect to see more great things from you before summer gets here :clap:

cheers TFB...I think I need to do a few more Sheiko cycles to see the real gains but it is fun along the way.

Nothing tricky Scratch... just the set up that Tonka showed D and the crew. I was trying to do more of a Minx style but wasn't getting the hips high knees low during set up. And just making sure everything is tight, traps driven into bench and using leg drive...which was lacking at last comp.
