Iain K's Powerlifting

[IainK]

Wasn't a straight line, but 3 months. I was using it on sumo pulls first before I then moved it to conv.

Good session today.

Squats started a bit off. Just wasn't feeling it, maybe not warmed up or maybe just first session of the week blues? Anyway 225x2 was gash. Hard and I cut the last rep. After I decided to move my grip back in too 'max legal'. Felt good and worked back to a nicer, but by now quite tired 225x1 At least alls well that ends well on that score.

Just a little feeder benching and then on to the big deads. Goal 260x3. Goal done! Very happy with it. Even did it with my grip not feeling great on the bar. Maybe just tried grip, maybe the load, maybe the bent bar, and no doubt a combo of all the above. I had to re-set my grip after each rep but still managed to make the lift. Thumb is sore now. Got the straps on and hoped for a double next set but was spent, and barley got up a single.

Tom heavy bench and light deads.

Vids sorting themselves out now

Nice session today.

Feeling a bit tired and sore in places after thurs work, and didn't feel on fire warming up on the bench. However happy to equal a pb followed by some nice singles at that weight. Then did a little down work with some nice pauses. Good bit of work.

Finished with a small and quick bit of deadlifting and job done!

Up to 230 on the squat this sunday follwed by 80%x2x6 on bench and deadlift.

All those benches looked sweet. Very smooth.

But that man in the background needs to not wear that vest. Tell him from me.
