What training are you doing/have you done today? Vol.2

Yorkshire and North East Powerlifting Comp yesterday.

Came 2nd (93kg) with a 612.5kg total. A comp total PB so happy with that, but should have got a bit more really - not that I'd have placed any better as the winner got 670kg ish!

Squatted 217kg - wanted to go for 222.5kg on my third, but took too long to get my lifting slip in and they only let me go up by the automatic 2.5kg increase over the previous lift.

Benched 145kg - went for a 152.5kg PB on the third which I didn't get

DL 250kg - Should have got my 260kg final lift, but pulled it too fast into my legs on the floor and was off balance as I drove up and was never going to get it. Pretty annoyed at myself buy hey ho.

Well done! I guess when you enter competitions, they spur you on to push yourself harder, ready for the next one?

Yeah definitely. Gives you purpose to your training, whether it's bodybuilding, powerlifting, strongman, sport, whatever I think everyone should aim to compete at something.

Next one, All English. Can't wait.

Had a good week

Squatted 215kg for 3
DLd 250kg for 3

I've not been in here much at all lately, need to make more effort to post!

A few recent rep PBs...

Squat x 6 at 200kg
squat x 3 at 215kg (might have got 217 actually, can't remember)

DL x 6 at 230kg at 230kg
DL x 3 at 250kg (matched PB, done it before but feel like I've got more in me for 3)

Paused bench x 3 at 140kg (again can't remember if I got 145kg yet - need to post more often!)

Got the all england in a few weeks, but not really tapering for it as I'm focusing on British in October

[TheBALDpuma]

That's great, well done!

Slow is good, I think, due to the TUT..

Only if you care about training effect - I just wanted to get the fking thing off my chest

[TheBALDpuma]

Front Squat triples up to 150kg

Power cleans
4 x 3 at 80kg
3 x 2 at 90kg

Bench Row
2 x 8 at 120kg
2 x 6 at 130kg

Sotts Press up to 60kg

Chins 5s with +16kg

[TheBALDpuma]

The volume plus the weight is starting to get hard to handle. That combined with feeling a little under the weather meant I cut today's short, halving my deadlift volume and cutting out accessory work. One more week with +5kg then the volume drops with an increased load... it will be a welcome change!

Squats 6 x 5 at 190kg

Deadlifts 3 x 5 at 220kg

Came 3rd in a Yorkshire and Northe East Winter Open powerlifting comp yesterday. Best total I've got in comp, which I'm happy with as I took the squat really easy as I'm coming back from injury.

Total 620kg

Squat
190kg F (stumbled forward and got 3 reds - first time I've done heavy singles since august. Not an inspiring start!)
200kg
210kg - easiest of the lot!

Bench
140kg
150kg
157kg F - thought it was going to be easy! it wasn't!

Deadlift
240kg
250kg
260kg - second time I've lifted this and it felt easy, especially happy as the heaviest I've lifted since august is 240kg and I've only done it once

[TheBALDpuma]

A few noteworth lifts last week...

A comfy 255kg double on my deadlift
A not so comfy 215kg double squat

[TheBALDpuma]

A comfy ish 2 rep PB DL again today, 257kg for two. Had a bit left in the tank too

Pulled a deadlift double at 260kg last Friday for a 2 rep PB

Currently not pulled more than 260kg for a single so hoping for bigger things very soon!
