TTT: No comment on how you last went or numbers?

Lashed out and bought myself a dipping belt.

My tracksuit pants and jacket topped out at 20kg of pocket space lol

Good job Troy!

sq 192.5

b 100

dl 210

at 86kg at GPC states around Easter.

best bench in a 3 lift comp was 110 @ 92kg and 115 @93kg in a bench only comp.

Best deadlift in a 3 lift comp was 220 @ 92kg and 222.5 @ 94kg in a deadlift only comp.

Next 3 lift comp is in 3.5 weeks. Don't think I'll do much better. Will not be using wraps for squats... Should still be around 85-87kg

Nice squat and DL.

Do you have bad shoulders or something or just not into bench?

I dunno what my 1RM is but I can rep 110 now so you'd have to think 1 rep would be a bit better.

How long did it take you to get to those squat and DL numbers and how tall are you?

one of my asian mates from high school used to always be pretty skinny, now i'm guessing he's like 80-83kg competing for australia and just did 235/187.5/117.5 and posted some vids up on facebook crazy strong shocked me that it was him - only 23 too and hasn't trained long :\

/csb

I'm keen to get into more / increase deadlifts now

Right scap has ongoing problems. Both shoulders sound like ratchets moving in any direction. Tennis and golfers elbow in both elbows... So yeah. A few problems with bench.

The first time I tried a squat 1rm I got 150 but failed 155. Before this I had done about 5 years of wannabe bodybuilder type training. Still did squats but it was once a week and it was 3 sets of 10 and was superset with leg press or ham curls.

Best dead lift during those days was 180 with straps and it wasn't a proper deadlier. It was a start from Waist height then down, bounce and up... Using straps.

I'm 178cm I think.

[-FIGJAM-]

think you need to squat more

[TTT]

Agreed. Its the only real solution

Stop doing bench for 6 months. Do the rehab and you will be much stronger going back in.

I have. It helps to a certain extent. Never 100%. Soon as I get close to where I was...its failboat again

Where did he compete for Australia? Those numbers dont seem very impressive at all in regards to competing FOR Australia.

I have an 82kg lifter who competed at Nationals 2 weeks ago, still a Junior at 20yo, so same weight and age group as your mate, and Asian

Martin squatted 245kg, benched 160kg and deadlifted 282.5kg, total was 687.5kg, a GPC Junior WR

Thats 147.5kg more than your mate. Your mates total would have got him 9th place at Nationals in the 82.5kg class

So you have taken 6 months of zero benching? Plus the rehab including cuban press, broomstick shoulder dislocation stretches and the rest?

I got the impression you keep doing bench regardless because ' a comp is comming up...' ha ha....

No bench means you have more time to focus on squat. Why u no squat 200?

[No Crust Racing]

Well I set myself a reminder to take a break a month ago and I stuck to it tonight and took it off so I get a 4 day break (Thurs-Sun).

I'm trying not to feel guilty...

Cuban press f**ked my other shoulder.

stuck to doing band rotator stuff along with overhead press which doesn't hurt and actually feels like it has helped some.

Anyway, I don't really care about it much anymore.

No 200 squat because girlyman.
