So the chest day went really well I think tonight. First time doing 1RM for bench press so was interesting.
Pleased with 150kg 1RM for my bench press as I set out to achieve 145kg.

There was only Oddjob & -Ad- who post in gym related subjects - and me of course! IT was a great meet though!
You'd think I'd never posted in here either, just 'cos I've been quiet in this thread for a while due to injury and people forget all about you...
There weren't many big guys there dude!
I was a bit surprised as Thundycat's a pretty hefty chap but he doesn't post in this thread at all that I've seen.
Oh and supersetting hammer curls and barbell curls does make for quite a nice set, you were right.
Man of Honour
I recognised you!!!
I don't know if Thundy trains or not - he's quite a stocky guy, though he did say, woah you ARE a big guy! lol!
Glad you liked that superset
Fantastic work! My days of heavy benching are long gone now
That's really good work - I know how hard it is to get to such weights!
Thanks for the kind words regarding my squat guys
The aim is for 225kg next monday, but after that I'm going to see what smolov does for me and potentially surprise some people at my next meet.
You'll slap loads on your total with smolov
Yep that's the plan, capitalise on having nothing to do for a couple of weeks. I've heard of many people gaining 20kg on the base mesocycle which is only three weeks long 
Getting 230kg on monday isn't out of the question, but I'll have to see I'm maxing my deadlift on saturday. If I can get my squat up to around 250, which I think is the upper limit of what's possible, by August I'll be chuffed.

going to sound an odd question - but do any of you doing regular weights and/orlost a load of weight - get to a stage where it almost feels like you've got back a small belly?
ie after loosing a load of weight I got to stage where it felt like I had a pretty flat stomach
since then I've lost no further weight but continued to put muscle on - and it now feels like my stomach sticks out like a domed shield - I think its because my sides have become so squeezed in -its made what would have been a flat stomach now feel like its sticking out - its very odd - but wanted others views
I've gone from 13 stone 8 to 9 stone 9 over period of 15 months
I'm going to gym 5 sessions a week for pure weights - no cardio and then on-top running 3 14-16ks in the evening a week - I've my 1st 10 mile race this weekend
cheers

My relaxed abs can sometimes look a little rounded but that's it - I don't carry much fat.
cheers- I'm not bothered by it - its just something I've noticed
can't wait for the 10miler to be out of way on Sunday as the 14+k practice runs have been taking a lotlonger for my body to recover - normally 2 days without running is needed
I FAR FAR enjoy the gym sessions more than the 16k runs thats for sure ! I'm aiming for 1 hr 18 on Sunday which is not great but good for me

Visceral fat?
Man of Honour
Visceral fat stays around the organs - you need some to protect the organs, which is why very low BF i dangerous. However, big causes of health issues is down to visceral fat as opposed to subcutaneous fat which is relatively irrelevant.
