Token gym pbs tonight, 192.5kg squat and 230kg deadlift, both 2.5kg heavier than my 3rd attempts last month at an RPE of 8

Joining the PR @8 club. Woof.

Not at that heavy a weight, mind.

Managed to Pull 270 tonight which is a small PB .. but massive for me when put in to context ... my deadlifts were plateauing - actually going backwards .. so the last few weeks with a few minor tweaks it’s back moving

You must be one of the top lifters in the country with these numbers?

Far from it .. that’s 270 at @105kg body weight ... I’d need another 50kg on that lift to be considered at the top. My bench is poor but my squat is creeping up and should be close to 300 (in wraps) by the end of the year.

I’m drug free so I’m proud of my numbers ... the ‘untested’ lifters would be pulling 300 at 90kg and squatting 300 plus at 100kg

Managed to do front squat of 90kg for 8 reps this morning and my lower back didn't explode.
Slowly slowly building up....
Its a delicate balancing act between lifting for rehab/prehab and pushing myself too much and hurting myself.

I'm also hoping for a 5rep 100kg bench within six or eight weeks. (currently at 5 reps at 95kg and 2 and a half reps at 100kg)
I abandoned this goal 18months ago when I decided I had gotten way too fat. 10kg drop in weight later and I'm stronger than I was before so heres hoping.
BW now at 75kg.

last week was decent
squat single 170kg followed by 5x3 @160kg then 5x3@155kg pause deadlift
deadlift single 195kg followed by 4x3 @175kg then 4x4@135kg pause squat

there's some bench stuff in there as well but i suck at bench so lets not go there

Alf Veedersane

180kg squat PR with kilos in the tank.

Was happy as fúck with that.

LincolnHawk

3 x110kg bench with no spotter. There was definitely a 4th there but the gym was too quiet so I got scared.
Followed up with 7 x 100 rep pr, then 4 x 70 OHP...a good day of pressing.
...my back is made of wet cardboard so important to enjoy these days

More of a training block achievement than a daily one but anyway...

Last heavy session of my first proper training block in prep for the IPF May Open (one lightish session left tomorrow).

In the December comp I did I hit 190/105/227.5kg for squat/bench/deadlift.

This week I hit 212.5/112.5/245kg for top singles, with none full on max effort, so pretty damn delighted with my progress!

Now to hopefully keep progression going till May

Savage lad .. are you competing any time soon ?

laoch na mona

small compaired to some of the numbers here, but I'm a small guy so I'm happy with it.

2 reps of a 130 kg dead lift. I dislocated my elbow a few months back so I missed a few months. Its great to be back shifting heavy(by my mortal standards) weight

whippet

245kg squat for a fast double last night ... was going to try for a treble but knew the 3rd would have been a messy one so left it at that !

fingers crossed for a 250 / 255 double next week !

whippet

Finally broke the 250kg mark .. 252.5kg for a double squat !!

whippet

another week another PB .. 260 squat for a good single !!

I’ll refrain from updating until I get my 300kg !!! It was a pipe dream at the start of the year .. but I’m a little more bullish now. Mind you every single kilo is like ten at the moment

Don't. People like to see the journey. Or I do anyway. Fair play!
