Thanks PK

Just got squats left tomorrow then deload and onto cycle 4.
Things are going well, but it will be interesting to see how long the pace can be maintained. Also how well I can work 531 around breaks/holidays too without losing momentum.

Nicely done LiE.

Have you had any more thoughts about competing?

LiE · 12 Apr 2012 at 19:59

I wouldn't mind giving it ago for the experience, not had much luck finding somewhere that I can go for a meet though.

Djdom56 · 12 Apr 2012 at 20:13

There are a few in may and june that me and my brother are looking at. They are in Lancashire and Woking

icecold · 12 Apr 2012 at 20:13

Awesome lifting as per usual mate!

LiE · 12 Apr 2012 at 20:54

Thanks. Looking forward to seeing your new 1RM when you test

Dom not sure I'll be able to do much in may/june, busy times for me.
Perhaps later in the year if there is anything. Which federation is that with? I didn't get a response from the 2 I tried a while back.

Djdom56 · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:52

That's GBPF. I only mentioned those because those are the one that we may use as qualifiers for nationals

.

They are all listed here.

icecold · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:52

GBPF. If you want a hand getting it sorted I'll be happy to help.

Our plan is to do one of those comps, then nationals in August. I'll be up for another later in the year too if you fancy it.

In terms of lifting, I'm now peaking slowly. New maxes on the way

LiE · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:57

Yea think I'll be better off doing one later in the year. Is that with the same federation?

icecold · 12 Apr 2012 at 22:59

Yeah, otherwise I'll have to pay to join the BDFPA as well. I might do that next year though, there is a comp in Feb that my club always goes to that's BDFPA.

LiE · 13 Apr 2012 at 09:07

I'll have to see if I have better luck this time trying to join GBPF.

LiE · 13 Apr 2012 at 09:21

Last heavy day of cycle 3. Hoping to squat 162.5x9, which for me will be amazing. Never thought I would be doing this kind of weight for squats.

Djdom56 · 13 Apr 2012 at 11:57

That's monumental :eek:

!

I'll be ecstatic if I get up to 160kg on my singles today

.

LiE · 13 Apr 2012 at 13:17

It's thanks to the advice icecold has given me. I used to squat like a douche and thought I was a boss doing 140x4... then I pulled something.

icecold · 13 Apr 2012 at 13:58

Best of luck mate!

LiE · 13 Apr 2012 at 14:09

Cheers

Thinking of doing a little hammy stretching before squatting in addition to the pre-sqaut hip opener stuff.

sigma · 13 Apr 2012 at 14:46

Are you going to get a vid of it?

LiE · 13 Apr 2012 at 14:52

Yea Syla5 is training at the same time so no doubt I'll get a video.

LiE · 13 Apr 2012 at 18:21

The + set was so hard, but somehow I dug deep and pushed through it

Squats
WU - 67.5x5, 85x5, 102.5x3
WS - 127.5x5, 145x3, 162.5x9

Goblet Squats
32.5x8, 32.5x10, 32.5x10

RDL
80x10 x3

Calf Raises
50x10, 55x10, 55x10

Really need to work on some tight spots to get the full depth on goblet squats, still plenty of butt wink which I'm expecting. Should have plenty of time next week to hammer the stretches, especially hammys.

Video, in HD

also no belt.

My final projected maxes for this cycle.
Military Press - 86.81kg
Deadlift - 232.80kg
Bench - 158.31kg
Squat - 208.98kg

Massive improvements over cycle 1, and even an improvement over my actual tested maxes at the end of cycle 2. Military press has dropped a little but only because my form has changed.

You had a 10th in the tank

Strong.
