This is going to be a good year at nationals. Ocuk taking it by storm

Ironic if the nationals get pwn3d by a bunch of guys from a notionally geek forum... :eek:

Nice session, LiE - I reckon you coul probably just keeping piling the weight on your brother's back and see how it goes: there is massive scope for amusing weights with younger lifters!

My coach also works with the Cambridge University Rugby Club and they had a fresher in there who had apparently (

) not done much squatting in his time (he was pretty big, however), and he topped out at 200kg for singles. My coach was very impressed, but then proceeded to explain to me that it was disappoinging because the guy was not actually very good at rugby...

Geeky powerlifters = smarter lifting

LiE · 26 Mar 2013 at 12:22

Must be! my upper back is actually sore from squatting, good times.

icecold · 26 Mar 2013 at 17:18

Mine is still bleeding, its just that I've killed the nerves in the area too.

I feel the same about your squat!

Edit: just realised I put 145 on the video intro! should be 142.5, 145 is next week

Steedie · 28 Mar 2013 at 08:05

Elbows too pointy/10

Mirin though, I was nursing a semi the entire video once that first one went up

LiE · 28 Mar 2013 at 08:09

I need to add in some elbow isolation work, clearly an area to work on.

LiE · 29 Mar 2013 at 20:31

Bro, your curls are far too strict. Go full bro or go home.

LiE · 31 Mar 2013 at 00:32

You're right, the reps are too damn low.
Suffering from some tasty glute and hammie DOMS from those deads.

LiE · 1 Apr 2013 at 20:24

Squatage

Felt tired and haven't eaten enough today or the last couple days, but progress was made nonetheless. Hammies had some tasty DOMS from Friday still.

Lots of soft tissue goodness to warm up.

Knee Band Squats

Not sure what happened on the last rep lol.

Squat progress has been great since Feb.

Syla5 · 1 Apr 2013 at 21:27

Looking strong, nice PB's.

Have you tried the band below the knee rather then above?

LiE · 1 Apr 2013 at 21:39

Makes little difference. I'm going to try the black band next week, should be fun!
