185kg x 1

90kg x 10

130kg x 10

192.5kg x 1

Was an ugly rep, but I locked out 192.5kg for a new pb. Still 80kg, still 6'3

Have another two reps left in the 160, so I might try adding them next time and see if I can make the 1RM again.

Well done man, you almost are making me want to 1RM deadlift again!!

Next time do the 90kg and 130kg sets and then jump straight to 200kg and achieve your goal quicker lol

[No Crust Racing]

Nice work Birdman

[NickR33]

Steady improvement Birds, knocking on the door of 200kg

Training for GPC States my deadlift has been good. Hit a couple of PBs

regular DL 210kg x 5

deficit DL 220kg x 3

Should pull 260+ at States if I can keep my back in one piece

[Mitcho_7]

A 260+ pull is awesome!

I tried block pulls off 6cm blocks the other day. I can deadlift more normally then from blocks but that doesn't surprise me really. I think ill keep doing them and see if they help overall

Thanks fellas. John you should definitely start 1RMing again; they do so much for volume weights and reps!

Awesome pulls there Nick. What weight class do you plan to be in for states?

[NickR33]

I spoke too soon... hurt my back again! That said it's healing really quickly this time so I'll just have a couple of weeks off squatting/deadlifting and then should be back into it fingers crossed

hopefully I can make states... I'll do a little weight cut to get under 90kg birds... but if back still no good I'll do bench only in the 100s

going to switch to sumo so prob won't be pulling too heavy until I get technique/mobility down

[NickR33]

600lbs will have to wait

[Birds]

No good, sorry to hear Nick. What is your specific injury?

[NickR33]

Prolapsed disk between L5-S1. No MRI to confirm but pretty sure that's the diagnosis. It's settling really quick this time though so if it keeps improving I should be back to training soon. Was hoping to squat 250 at states so that might not happen but Nats is the goal this year.

I overhead pressed today without any pain. Not heavy though.

Same injury as last time then?

Who do you/PTC use for physiotherapy and diagnosing this kind of stuff? Feel free to PM; wouldn't mind knowing a physio who understands and deals with powerlifters and the related injuries, as these are the movements I engage in nowadays. I'm also sick of explaining to physios what a barbell squat is, only to have them explain back to me the function of the shoulders during the supposed overhead shoulder pressing motion that occurs during a squat...

[NickR33]

Yep just a flare up.

Yes I used Jason Mawby Chiropractor last time. He is a Powerlifter but he's in Rosebud. I can't get down there so have been going to my old Osteo at the MOSIP clinic in Caulfield. Also very good, not lifters but definitely know what a squat is.

[Birds]

Ah yes, have been meaning to drop in on Jason for a check up. Sort of looking for someone who can deal with shoulder stuff, too.

Hit 190kg for a single tonight on my first deads session at PTC. Sherro rwck9ns I might have a smidge more in me but im happy with 190 either way!

Have pulled back on 1RM training for the time being, to focus on getting my volume up. 165kg for 5 is a new pb in that department. Will try for 6 next time, or up the weight to 167.5kg.

Once volume comes up to, say...180kg for 5...I'll head back to 1RM and try passing 200kg.

New 5 rep pb. Forgot to put some weights on one end when I first lifted it. Really fked me for the actual set, but still got it out. Made the 185kg reps really farkin tough, though.

Hoping to go 170kg for 5 next time.
