125x1 took another warm up set because I had a huge rest. Somehow it messed me up, this was nowhere near as good
127.5x2 terrible
122.5x2 Dom was wrecked and messed up my pauses!
110x2 just to make me feel better. Still bad :/
Sacked off the rest.
While I remember, this is the address of the comp on Feb 3rd:
Hatchford Brook Youth Centre,
Old Lode Lane,
Solihull
B92 8JE
Lifting will start at 11am ish for Dom, me and LiE will be in the afternoon.
Man of Honour
Stoodles and I will be coming up together. Nomsayin'?
Man of Honour
Oh and awesome workout.

Quick question ice about the comp prep you posted.
2 weeks out:
Max, or 95%, on all three lifts for 1 rep. Minimal assistance, avoid too much fatigue.
Is this all 3 lifts each training session or on separate days?

This is kind of what I was talking about on Saturday. Because you've not accumulated much fatigue recently, it might be worth getting a bit more volume on squats and bench.
So hit doubles next week with some good drop off set volume on your normal training days, and then do a 95% mock meet on monday 28th. This means you could do triples again this week if you wanted.

I'm not sure I can get much more out of triples, would doing doubles this week and next be fine?

Great, thanks.

Still feeling crap?
I've been meaning to ask, where's the best place to get a singlet for the comp?
Seen this one http://www.pullum-sports.co.uk/clothing-and-shoes/powerlifting/bench-press/titan-leotard/prod_109.html
or this one http://www.pullum-sports.co.uk/clot...nch-press/titan-triumph-leotard/prod_843.html

In for seeing LiE and ice in singlets.
Dude you like Kai with his supplements!
What's wrong with https://www.strengthshop.co.uk/powerlifting/lifting-singlet.html half the price

I got the Strengthshop one with the logo and it seems pretty good quality. Should have went for the medium thou as it was a bit tight over a t-shirt, spent the day with my cashews plastered to my arse Not the most comfortable of things

Still not feeling 100%, but a bit better. It's turning into some kind of chest phaggotry now, which is fantastic.
The only important point with singlets is that you can't have a logo from someone who isn't a sponsor of the IPF or GBPF (so no Strength Shop logo as far as I know!).
Either of the ones you posted is fine, so cheaper is better. The non-logo strength shop one is probably fine, and that guy is looking handsome as **** in the picture too...
Training 16/01/13
Deadlift
bar x some
60x some
100x5 - not firing perfectly
140x3 - really nice!
180x1 stupid fast
200x1 yep
220x1 same again
230x2 easy! Very pleased!
240x2 *&£$%&£$% YES! Finally getting close to pre snap numbers. Not as comfortable as my 250x2 PB pre snap, but I do not care even slightly.
220x2
Bench negatives (not on warm ups, obviously)
bar x lots
60x10
90x3
110x1
120x1
130x1 sloooooow negative, feels good
140x1
150x1x3 tried to get the negative as slow as possible (somewhere close to 3 secs) and then have a controlled 2 count pause on my chest. Like these a lot.
Board press
120x4x2
Enough work after the negatives
Sacked of my squatting variation as I want to give my quad some rest.
