*** OcUK Powerlifting Totals ***

[N19h7m4r3]

OK I might as well add mine. Nothing impressive at all, but to say I couldn't deadlift 50kg/bench 40kg 2 months ago it's not too bad!

Squat: 90KG Bench: 80KG Deadlift: 110KG

I still look like a skinny version of a pepperami man, not idea why

It depends on your training, the strongest people in the world when it comes to Power to Bodyweight are all small.

Dense muscle mate, along with strengthened tendons. It's far better then being big with bloated muscle filled with liquids and having no true funtional strength. Unless curling your shopping bags count.

Keep up the work, those are good lifts. I might suggest using the Hip Adductor machine if you have one. It'll help with your hip drive during squats and deadlifts.

Isn't that what you are training for

Managed to add 5kg to my deadlift 1RM tonight.

LiE -------- 150 / 160 / 220(s) ------ [81] ---- 530

Well done LiE, coming along nicely

It was quite a bit harder than last time. Previously I used the 25kg plates which raises the bar off the floor a bit more, but recently I've swapped to the 20kg plates to start from a lower position.

 

[JackCarver]

Nice 220x4 dead @08:00 this am - shame couldn't get in tonight think i woulda been all over 240+

 

[Morba]

nice one

Out of curiosity, why don't more people post vids of their lifts?

I know I'd be interested in seeing them, and potentially others could notice slight problems with form.

Maybe they're cheating?

I think it's generally just a hassle to record lifts. If don't have someone with me it's difficult to balance the camera somewhere, and if I do have someone with me I find it embarrassing to ask them to record me.

 

[Morba]

I dont have anywhere that i could put the phone which would allow full view of me lifting.
I do need to do something though, i bet my form is terrible after a few years of not training with a partner telling me to stop being crap

 

[LiE]

I am planning to get some videos of me squatting soon, nothing heavy, just to get some form feedback.

 

[MoNkeE]

It's not convenient for me at all as it's horribly difficult to balance an iPhone and I train alone. Could always give it a shot though, I suppose! Will *try* on Friday when I'm doing some heavy squats!

I would like to but I feel like a bit of a pratt in a busy gym having someone record me.

this.
plus I always go alone and walking to a stranger asking him to record me feels really weird.
