2013 Powerlifting Totals

It's a bit intimidating stepping into this thread, given my noodle arms. But last week, I was on biceps and chest, I had warmed up and was moving to the bench. I was planning on ten reps at 50KG (I have been on this weight for a while), but for some reason I only counted the weight on one side of the bar, so it was 30KG plus the bar - 50KG. I forgot that there was another 30KG on the other side, and was wondering why it felt so heavy (I figured I must be tired, or something). I was lucky, it could have been dangerous. :o

I managed the grand total of eight reps, then two sets of six at 80KG. I felt like Schwarzenegger afterwards. :p

HAHA! :D

Nice work mate.

R3DBuLL ---------- 110+ / 180(B) / 210+(B) ----------- [82] ---- 500

Its almost impossible for me to get a squat vid as the cage is in a storage cupboard that's just big enough for the cage and bar. Loading is a nightmare :mad:

I'll get a deadlift video of some sort even if it aint a max.

Edit: Since I don't have one of me here's one from the club

Ahh that's a shame, could get it recorded from behind? Although we'll just see your butt.

Just wondered really, be interesting to see

So why the hell were you doing such a light weight before? Especially if you have 'been at it for a while'.

Good work, though an accident waiting to happen in future if you aren't careful :P

Time to stop pussying around with the 50-80kg range for you, time to hit 100kg :D

65?

Good man, love it when 'old' (no offence meant here!) show other 'old' people that age really is a number :)

Edit - Just realised that wasn't you!!!

I was still barely hitting fifteen reps, I just didn't feel strong enough to increase the weight. I guess I was being a wimp and an idiot at the same time. :o

I have only been training for some months, and I'm still learning something new each time I finish an exercise. :)

(I had a program designed, by the way... Just in case you thought I was that stupid). :p
