Nice squats sir, very nice squats!

Syla5 · 17 Apr 2013 at 21:35

Really nice progress. How were the knees?

LiE · 17 Apr 2013 at 21:40

Knees were fine

Handsome!

I may have to stop this hypertrophy BS to stop you catching my only good lift

Entered my next comp.

12th May: English Bench Press Championships
The Warehouse Gym, Parker Drive, Leicester LE4 OJP

Full bench press monkey engaged!

Mainly doing this because a) Saving my 3-lifts for Nationals and b) why not

So deload next week then 3 weeks of comp prep. Weight this morning was 83.3kg so getting under 83 shall be easy enough.

Steedie · 18 Apr 2013 at 14:07

I'll be up for coming to that. I'm in Birmingham on the 11th, so might just stay the night and go next day as it's close enough. Will see what I can sort out

LiE · 18 Apr 2013 at 14:13

It'll be worth it, just for the teddies

male teddies :eek:

Steedie · 18 Apr 2013 at 14:15

Any teddies are good teddies!

Go Lie..Go Lie

Will be interesting to see how you do!

Should be second or first :cool:

Although to be fair I haven't checked previous years results. Bench only comps may be the realm of people like LiE before he turned away from the ways of the bench monkey.

LiE · 18 Apr 2013 at 18:04

I'm fully expecting guys benching 180kg, who because of neglected lower body training are in really low weight classes

Delvis · 18 Apr 2013 at 21:21

Hah!

Will see if I can get up there dude

Freefaller · 18 Apr 2013 at 21:48

Oooh! All the best! I'm sure you'll do well

LiE · 18 Apr 2013 at 22:57

Thanks

Sounds good Delvis. Think both of my brothers are coming too.

Delvis · 18 Apr 2013 at 22:59

I can't bench anyway so I need my fix

kai · 19 Apr 2013 at 12:49

Lie, even with deload weeks etc do you find you are putting a lot of stress on your joints? Going this heavy all the time, do you supplement with something like copious amounts of osteocare?

LiE · 19 Apr 2013 at 12:55

My joints are fine. I do plenty of stretching and soft tissue work, ensuring my form is correct means I avoid loading up my joints in groce ways.
