Solid work as always :clap:

Any goals/predictions for the comp? Or you don't want to jinx it :lol:

Good question Phed. It made me think about it a bit...

I like to make the 74 class. It is the lightest I have been over a decade :pfft: and I like to carry this feeling "athletic / being light on my feet" into the next training block but probably not worrying so much about my actual weight.

At this stage I just want to have a bit of fun. Get my openers and than put some numbers on the board whatever they might be.

My build up was pretty short around 40 something days by the comp rolls around, and not very structured. I pretty much tried to hammer everything home in the last minute :pfft: :pfft: :pfft:

Right now I have lot of holes in my game needing to be patched up but at least now I know what they are.

I just want to have fun, feel the rush of the platform again and remain injury free if I can... Than I can start worrying about future goals and place expectations on my self :)

Thanks again... You made me ponder about it :nod:

Squats

Worked up to 150 x 1

Illegal wide bench

Worked up to 115 x 1

Bench

90 x 2s x 10r

1 arm DB rows

31 x 10

34 x 2s x 10r

Light shoulder work...

Turned out to be a low energy session. Took me a while to warm up but by the time I got to 150 it felt ok. After this comp I will look into some technical work on the squats. Not going to change much fopr this comp. Not worth it so close to it but good to be aware that there is a few things I can improove on.

I think I'm drinking too much coffee while I slave away in the library. Time to cut it down a bit and let the adrenals rebound :)

Illegal wides felt pretty good today. The shoulder work seems to be patching up the wholes... The usual (too little too late :pfft: next training block :wink: )

Weight: 74.7 in undies only :oops:

Food: Ops... :oops:

Stress: A bit too high for my likeing.

Sleep: ok.

95 x 5

95 x 5

Close grip BP

80 x 2s x 5r

Deadlift

Worked up to140 x 3

Ok session.

Average energy levels. A bit better than last time.

Squats were ok. At the moment I suck at any weight as soon as it is more than 3 reps :pfft:

Happy with the paused bench while it was a bit on the hard part I remember a few weeks back struggling with this as a touch and go. No idea what I could get with a touch and go ... perhaps a 120. Hard to say without trying it.

Chest supported BB rows

60 x 3s x8r

Not a spectacular session. After having two days off from physical activity my body find it hard to get moving again.

Funny, one would think the rest would help but it seem to have the oposite effect on me.

I will do a light work out tomorrow as well.

2 sleeps to go...

Squats

Worked up to 140 x 2

Bench

Worked up to 100 x 3

1 arm DB rows

31 x 2s x10r

Slightly better session than yesterday. I did take my time with the dynamic warm ups today, used a few from the Agile 8 as well. Body felt better for it I think.

130 was easier than yesterday but 140 wasn't as sharp as usually.

I will do some squats tomorrow as well. I will go by feel.

BW: 73.8 this morning in undies only.

Sleep: Ok.

Stress: Too much. End of term approaching, I have a lot of school work on. I have to write a research proposal etc.... End of term always messes with my eating/recovery/lifting.... :?

Food: I will have to be spot on with this today and tomorrow. I don't want to hold any unnecessary water.

Thank you Big John!!! I really appreciate the compliments and I will work hard to earn them :) I missed being able to lift real bad. kind of wish I never took so much time off and try to hammer home everything in the last few weeks :pfft: Looking forward to catching up with you guys at the next comp!

Hey bro, was reading Harleys Journal. He was aying that you competed today? Your name isnt Attila is it? I was the MC today btw
Well done mate, solid lifting. Have u done oly lifting before? technique solid,

Thank you :) Great job on the mic!!!!! You made it quite entertaining for the audience I recon :) I originally started out in Powerlifting than dangled in oly a little... I love both sports :nod: Thank you for stopping by and thank you for putting on such a nice comp. it was a pleasure to be part of it :D

The comp:

Weighed in @ 72.6

Squats

150 (belt) Good lift

160 (belt and wraps) Good lift

170 (Belt and wraps) Got stapled in the bottom :cry: :pfft:

Bench

100 Good lift

105 Good lift

110 Good lift

Deadlift

160 (belt) Good lift

170 (belt) Good lift

175 (belt) Good lift

Overall I am happy with how I went today. I had fun and I really enjoyed being back on the platform. I struggle recalling the last time when I was this light :? maybe 20 years ago... probably more so it was nice to see what I can move at this body weight and with such a short build up. Some quality weight gain is in order and probably would help my lifting... I am just too skinny for my own good I think.

I am a bit disappointed with the failed 170 on the squat but I consider it a good learning experience and now I have a clear idea on what needs to be done. I have been thinking about what sort of training program/set up I like to use to patch up the glaring holes in my game.

I can't express it any better than this :

Will probably come up with some bastardized program which is the offspring of some template gangbang.

Ha Ha I love it!!!!

I will ponder some more about what I want to do but at this stage I feel I need more volume, moderate to moderate high intensity and medium frequency to build a foundation. Using the basics and some prehab - rehab work.

I like to say a big thank you for the organizers and the loaders!

It was fun !

Well done OH :clap:

How long has it been since you last competed? Must be happy with 8/9 lifts after a long layoff.

I look forward to seeing what type of template you come up with :)

Much appreciated!

It has been a while... 2007 :oops:

Today reminded me how much fun I have been missing out on :)

I have been planning a template over the last 2 weeks or so. Nothing to crazy (I think.) Just the basics and a few little extra here and there to patch up weaknesses.
