getting after it, Nats build up

[Viking Power]

Try when your fresh, reckon you'll hit new heights with those gains from the squat bro

Agree fully with this! After I completed smolov base cycle last year my dead rose up also. Think you may find that with a fresh session of deads you will be surprised!

true dat men, will give it a good nudge sometime in near future now iv got some time!!

week 1/10 day 2 - deadzone

box pulls (6in)

3x60,100,120,140,160,180,200,220

2x230

1x235

platform speed pulls (2in, conv)

3x100,120

6x4x140

tri circuit - fast 8's

good morings/60 - wg chins/bw - pwr cleans/60

bb curls

4x8x40

good enjoyable sess, actually had time to do some other stuff!! box pulls bit slow today but the rest was good considering i spent 9hrs digging post holes in the sun today, but stoked to still bank a good sess!! also busted a few mad tri poses for traps to demo what he can achieved with hard training and solid eats.

other findings -

nemesis viking power is claiming to be sporting 4 abs now

, so iv sharpened up my eats, as i dont mind him beating me on the platform, but there now way il let him out physique me when we hit the clubs post comp!

good 1st outting in the suit, whole new world thats for sure, will take abit of time, i think the more weight on the bar the easier it will be to perform a good quilty squats, anyway iv got 10 weeks should be good good!!

[hjp]

Yeah I found heavier made technique feel better. Nice bit of suit work. You will have it dialled in by comp time, a few sessions and it'll start to click. Not a bad first time in it tho man

[red machine]

anyway viking power (man or myth) the man im trying to hunt down was around today so we spent most of the day discussing the finer points powerlifting, so i was pretty keen to do somthing tonight after the herd went to sleep....

been abit of talk of late about using the super cent squat suit to pull deads, as i know barbrother does it awesomely, so i watch a few vids of pplpullin in suits in went in had a crack

bw:91.3 - de hydrated hard

^boom! :clap:

[steak]

shot bro!

[Panzer]

BOOOOOOM more like!

[startinfromscratch]

too easy!

[red machine]

haha yip solid boom, best part is it seem to put no stress on the body, as i norn feel abit beatin up after raw maxin but with the suit it just seems to hold everything in the tight.

+ i reakon there should be plenty more pop off the floor too if i took the straps up as they are not that tight, but will learn to squat in the barstard b4 jumping the gun.

[hjp]

PB! Gotta love it!!! Awesome bro more where that came from i feel. Strong work!!

[drizzt]

Nice pulling there Rick. On a side note I only used the Super cent fpr the NIs and that was becasue i dropped weight and my Velocity was a bit loose. i would probably rate a tight fitting velocity over a Super Cent but only just. Will be interesting to see how you find using it.

thank mate, it seemed really good for the 1st time, but i have nothing to compare to, helped a ton off the floor, will use it for now but very keen on getting a size smaller dead suit at some stage as its not that tight, but she will do for this year or so as i really want to get the raw up alot more before really going hard on the gear

thanks bro, 1st comp this year will be auck champs in the end of march, 8ish weeks faaark cant wait ay!! then hopfully do NI's in maybe nats if i can sneek away for the weekend.

also i think there are a few bench only comps in auck this year to that would be fun to put abit of focus on my crap bench.

we also hold club lifts at CBC though out the year 1st one is in end of apr, so would love to have a raw lift in these with a crew as they are great comps in a stack off fun and very refreshing compared to the proper comps
