I pick things up and put them down :)

Thanks :) was very pleased with it as the form was decent and it felt strong :)

Grappling tonight was awesome, learned a lot and landed a move I'd been sneakily practicing :D
 
Haha not quite, despite being able to lift my training partners quite easily I'll save any slams/suplexes for drills or competition.

It was a leg lock :)
 
Lifting more kitchens today, liking the strongman style of lifting awkward objects.....it really takes it out of you.

Anyways training tonight should be interesting, hope I'm up to the squats and as for the bench instead of going one set more than I complete I'm going to go 2 sets more and get used to handing some more weight again.

i.e
90x10 - complete
100x8
110x5

I'm starting to enjoy benching again :)

Some awesome numbers, dude!

Have you tried Olympic lifting? ;)
 
The 2 guys I train with are oly lifters and they've had me doing a few cleans, if I was somewhere I could drop the weight I'd be much happier (in the photo is a special are that we're rarely allowed) a friend is opening up an olympic gym so I'll give it a go once he's set up :)

In a contest with one of them for the biggest squat :D we're neck and neck right now :D

Also something in the works for strongest overall lifter so it's the 3 power lifts and the 2 oly lifts combined to make your total :D

I'll be forced to learn it in order to compete in that XD

To be fair, bad (or even just not awesome) technique completely ruins any Olympic lifting, so you can be strong as an ox but completely limited on snatch/clean'n'jerk because the technique just isn't there... so I'm not sure that would be a fair/good/whatever addition to the competition. :D

Would still be fun to see how it turns out, however! :)

5x100
3x120
3x140
3x160

All these were done with a slightly alternated position, getting tight in an upright position was the focus :) felt very good but a little too stressful on my wrist, need adjustment.

Walkouts - unracking the bar, take a couple of steps out, hold (or squat a little :D)
230kgs - current NI record, squatted down with this a little......soon.....
250kgs - this was heavy....not quite so soon :p

0x120 - failed this.....bicep wouldn't let it happen at all....
1x120 - got this with assistance due to poor communication on my part XD
1x120 - this was all mine and there was a change in technique that I'll have to experiment with as it felt good :)
