Freak status: In progress

Week #57 - 26/10

Monday - 26/10

Hamstrings/Lower back with Craig - ESB 5:00pm

Squats (low bar, med stance) 3x60x8 3x100x6 2x140x6 2x180x3 220x2 PB

Conv. deadlifts 2x70x6 120x6 170x3 220x3 280x1

Glute ham raise x12,12,9,7

Lying leg curl 20x10 2x30x8 2x20x15

Reverse hyper 40x10 60x10 2x80x10

**Squats felt weird doing them powerlifting style again, didn't feel too heavy though. I think I will be able to work up 240x2-3 with a few weeks of these. Deadlifts felt bad today, slow off the floor but I put that down to quads being sore. Could have ground out another rep but didn't feel like it. Deads aren't feeling as good as I'd like at the moment, but I'm sure a nice deload before the comp will sort that out. At the moment a fairly conservative target for the meet would look to be 720 raw. Original goal was 750 but not too bad as that was planned to be at a full 125kgs bodyweight. Things change, I expect to be around 115-116 by then.

That was fucken awesome :grin: watched it 4 times

Good to see Bennie still doing the same routine, he loves those ammonia caps.

Good depth on those squats to MZ, looking forward to watching you at the ESBB comp.

Put your Journal in the stregth/pl'ing section already!! Obviously your choice but ill keep suggesting it :poked:

I don't like having to sift through the BBing journals to find one's worth reading...

Mike is preparing for a bodybuilding future. He will deny it but that's the popular opinion at Eastside anyway. :nod: :nod: :nod:

Bloody rich coming from you, mate

[Best Bench]

You crazy powerbuilders/bodylifters. Are you two going to wear your posing pouches during the eastside open? You had better start working on the tan boys. "I need more oil, that's not good oil"

I am an athletic bber. All about proportion and symetry :pfft: :pfft:

[Best Bench]

Mike Z on the bench, yeah baby

Lol, Cheer up cupcake,

It wasn't a stab at BB'ing journals ><

I always forget the names of the journals I follow, so the strength/powerlifting sub forum was a blessing, 80% of the journals I follow are in the same place, hard finding the other ones I like amongst the rest of the journals
