[tyreguy]

That aint no toy is it lol

[reddog]

max tested to 608kgs on the pins....

So you've got room for growth, then?

a tad *good*

 

Is he selling these?

prob. just a one off, as he had some time off work, he's down in Napier, if your looking for anything hit up these kents https://www.facebook.com/benchcamp its the boys i train with on the weekends, they made the gpc comp bench, mono, my deadlift jack and can make up anything you want, there stuff is much more heavy duty than anything from the stores round here and the price really well compeared to the likes of get strengh.

 

Tonight: squat/pulls - this night will just be full raw squats, something i really need to build back up, really havent gone over 200 odd since injury a year ago, i figure if i dislike it, its probly something i should target.... also chuck in a few beltless pulls in between to kill the time

squats: 6x60,5x60, 5x80, 3x100, 3x120, 3x140, 3x160, 3x180, 2x200, 1x215x 2x200, 2x200

GLA Super sundays - 

Squats 

work sets: 4x4x240 - pretty solid, odd high one, all and all on track, kind of gone off plan a tad, how ever I dont think the body will hold togther push that hard for another 9 weeks, these crazy russian progammes arnt really designed for the natural lifter, gotta play it smart, if it only mean 5-10kg pr illl still take it gladly 

finished with some, light pulls and rows, solid work put in by the crew

[reddog]

Been moving house with net down, so nothing major training wise, have re- joined a gym to get some more consistence traing going again, so will hit it 2x gym, garagex1 and GLA super Sundays in one of the 3 local garages, for my 4 days, under 8 weeks out so time to switch back on and get it done...

Squats- knee has stared to blow out again same injury as last year, felt it go while hitting reps on 260 last Sunday,  so going to drop weights back and build it back up to peace into comp, not ideal and any dreams of 300 may have to wait but no rush, still confident on 290 odd, did 3x3x170 pain free last night.

bench- just getting back on the train, have more equipment at gym so starting to add some shoulder work and pumping up the arms, hopfull of a 155 

deads still ticking along 5x5 on one day at 210 currently and a 2nd day defs and box pulls, going real well. 

Back in!

 

 

[reddog]

took rest of week off, trying to get knee right, seem to of worked, today tested it out, built up to 250 seemed ok, will have another light week, then hopfully be ready for 6 week blast into comp, the base is there so should be ok

 cg bench 8x100 - 2 sets

hammers 20x20 - 2 sets

real good train, bench is feeling really good again, keeping working weight 70% odd and just pumpin the volume and frequency at current, will start adding more weight later on, 1st time doing any over head work in probly about 1-2 years so weak now, but will build it back up in no time, will be good for a bench

other notes - just seen chris duffin who is in my class at comp squat 400kgs over the weekend lol i prob should just stay home....

[reddog]

last night - deads/bench - a few weeks a head of plan so had more of deload of sorts on pulls with only 1 working set instead of the 5

pulls to 5x215

paused bench 6x6x120

rows 4x10x80

wg pull downs 5x8x71

few other bits and peices, good train, bench felling really strong, needed a deload from pulls as its starting to feel heavy despite been still pretty light

[reddog]

squat/bench - last muck around squat b4 the 6 week build up phase, 7 weeks out

singles to 260 - wasnt that easy, but seem to be pretty much back to 100% there wont be anything over 70% for the next 3-4 weeks going to start pumping the vol and frequency, time to get serious again after the minor set back, looking at were i am currently i wounld be happy to hit 290, 300 is a magic number and im happy to wait another few years if need be, it will come 

pause bench - 6x2x120 - then long pause singles to 150, really happy to hit that after 3 soild session this week, i think 160 will on the cards if all goes well

wg lat pulls stackx8 - 4 sets 

leg curls 4x15xstack - 4 sets

.

[reddog]
