Enjoy your meal(s)! =)

Thanks Swedish. Dean is a monster. Not only is his squat ludicrous, he is also a UK record holder in the bench press with a single ply lift around 170kg's at the same bodyweight. I believe his highest contest squat was 265kg's a couple of years ago.

Oh and he's a geezer at around 45 years of age

Dave Tate's advice on nutrition for powerlifting:

Keep eating and gaining bodyweight until you stop getting stronger. Once that happens, drop a weightclass.

Still trying to hook up some weekend training with these guys.

Now it's time to eat more and try to regain some of the 5kg's that I lost in the last 1.5weeks

I can't believe you lost weight this past week. I would have thought you would have gained.

Dead do that raw or in a suit?

Congrats on a PR

Win that you benched 308 lbs for reps (is the 140 KG's 3 PPS?) I really do aspire to bench your numbers someday soon Al!!

Win that some young lifters have good form - very refreshing to hear.

Win that you got too see some monsters in action.

Win that little Fiorella is waking you up at night - now that is music to the ears.

Gaining weight is a real effort for me Steve. I'm not a naturally big eater so if I don't eat enough meals, I lose.

Dean was in his single ply suit with knee wraps and I think it was his meet suit which is tighter.

It was 135 so only around 300 for rep's but still a step on the right direction towards 4pps.

While you stuff your face, we'll wait for the next killer session Ltl, nice work and congrats on the pb!

[LtL]

Thanks T. Had a bedtime snack of protein shake and cashew butter bagel which was good as it gave me the energy needed to deal with my baby daughter not sleeping from half ten when we put her down the first time until 2am. It's now 6 and she's up again but hopefully not for long so I can get a bit more rest.

Newborns really are a killer....

I am the same as you Al, I lose weight fairly quickly, but gaining quality weight it hard. Im not surprised you lost the weight though, bad nutrition and all the worry will do that.

That being said mate, you still had a blinding session, especially as you were taking it easy.

tremendous effort just getting in the gym with everything else going on for you buddy. Inspirational

Carl.
