600

Cheers FF :)

Been moving these kinds of weights for around 5 years but never really progressed. Hopefully rectify that this year!

Main concern has always been strength so I'm not bothered if I lose weight or put it on as long as my squat, bench and deadlift improves.
 
Solid work there mate. It pleases me greatly for you to be able to lift without annoying injuries, hopefully this translates into some decent progress :thumbsup:

Squats - Good form, great height but very slow and far heavier than I expected. Felt confident of hitting 180 in a few weeks, might need to reassess :(

Good Mornings - Got a great feel for these now. Was wary about blowing my back to begin with but they're fast becoming a favorite exercise and really abuse my hamstrings in a good way.
 
PK thought about structuring your squats so you save more for the top end? I do the bare minimum then do 3x5 on the heaviest weight. I can see you hitting 170x5x3.

Cheers Morba. Went a bit mental with the leg press because I haven't had DOMS in my quads for a while.

I usually do that when I fail a week (I'll do the same weight the following week with less sets and reps beforehand) but never really thought about doing it before I fail. Don't really know why because 5/3/1 proves you don't need to do a lot before your top set :o

Bench - Felt much more powerful than last night but used a different bar than usual which has ****** up dwarf rings. I don't like change :mad:

Ridiculous.

You've got so much more in you. 600 isn't even a target - it's a milestone.

At 28 that was a minor hurdle on to 700 and heavier. At 33 I'm now far more realistic with my goals and even though a 227.5 deadlift would see me finally hit a lifetime 600, my bench and squat are a mile off where I need to be to hit 600 in the same week.

Cheers Benny. Some of the rugby lads at my gym are catching me up quick and it's proving to be quite motivational :D
 
I'm 32 - and I'm getting myself back to 600 too - and beyond! WEll, I want to get back to my 600kg total!

You're repping at some really high weights - you should have 600 in you no probs.

How much do you weigh? Are you looking at losing weight or staying as you are?

Nothing like having someone on your heels to give you a little boost!

Too true. My squat and deadlift haven't progressed at all since my training partner moved. He was only 12 stone but was lifting around the same as me and just having someone mock me tirelessly for being fat and weak compared to him was enough to squeeze out more each session. Now I've got to contend with a prop that has the shortest but widest legs in the world :mad:

You'll do it no problem :)

Was 17st 8lbs a few weeks ago, haven't weighed myself since. As long as I'm getting stronger I don't really care about my weight but I'd rather put on a stone and lift another 5kg than lose 2 or 3 stone and lose 5kg :D

Awful session. 12 hour day, 6 of those driving to Bristol and back, and only one protein shake in the morning and a packet of Wotsits all day so I was dead before I even got to the gym.

Deadlifts - Lower back's been aching all day from work but these didn't feel great. Very slow off the floor and my back felt like it took most of the punishment although that could've just been because it was aching from work.

PC2OHP - For whatever reason these are absolutely killing the crooks of my arms and lower back. I can't generate any power from my shoulders and the weight isn't heavy enough to work them anyway so I'm dropping them and going back to seated shoulder press.
