Thom Stépan Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I believe the weight of the bar is included in your lifts. You probably need to adjust your PB's to reflect this.

Thom Stépan Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Well done on your lifts. Have you adjusted your total weights to include the bar yet? Or are you leaving that out for now?95kg squats are totally badass. Woden uses ravens, I use an iphone.

SevenofSeven Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Today was Comp Day! No video of lifts. Can't get them off the phone onto the computer. This is what happens when everything is incompatible! Official Weight was 105.8 but rounding up. 106 kgBar with cuffs, 11 kgSmall Bar with cuffs 10 kg (used for bench only) Squats:Lift 1: 101 kgLift 2: 106 kgLift 3: 108.5 kgI think I could have actually pulled off 111 kg, but wussed out because you know Deadlifts! Bench:Lift 1: 55 kgLift 2: 60 kgLift 3: 70 kgThe last lift was way too fast, I didn't pause too much on the chest before press! I doubt it would have been three white lights in a real comp. Deadlift:Lift 1: 106 kgLift 2: 116 kgLift 3: 126 kgJust awesome, although heavier and I would have struggled, even though 126kg felt really stable. So it is done. Numbers on Spreadsheet. Ok so this has been on my mind for the last 3 days. This morning I was a little nervous, it reminded me of how it used to feel before a swim meet, when I was younger. Madcow is now finished even though I did not officially do a Week 12, doing the comp this week is enough. Light lifting until Monday when I start "The Cube" which is a 10 week program. into the future after that I may try and go all bodybuilding and see what lies beneath! 4 Quote Wait! What............?

SevenofSeven Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Thanks guys! Funny how with only a few warm up lifts and then heavy lifts, today I am all DOMS! Like I was working out for along time! It feels gooooood though. I guess our little Summer is finally dwindling. It is getting decidedly cool in the mornings, and this when I should start walking again! On a brighter note, our new pool should be opened on the weekend! It has only taken 6 months over due date! 3 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Dead pool, funniest movie I have seen in a while!

peelout Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Agree on the Dead Pool. I've grown kind of bored w/ the typical super hero movies. Way to predictable and repetitive. I liked Dead Pool a lot more than the new Star Wars which I found pretty unoriginal. Had to see it though cause ........... it's Star Wars. 1 Quote Current Challenge We are what we repeatedly do.

SevenofSeven Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 I lost interest in Star Wars with Jar-Jar Binks and that idiot who played Anakin as the young adult, made him look all whiny and pathetic. I have yet to watch the new ones, I am hoping it is.........better, even with the over exposure/advertising of Disney! Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted February 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 The new pool officially opened in town today. Took the two youngest Lads to have a look. It was really hot today so that is a bonus. I would hate to think what the snot/pee ratio to water was when it closed this evening. Let's just hope they have an awesome filtration system.Off to watch the other Lads play football (soccer) this evening, let's hope it cools down a wee bit, otherwise we may get a slow game. Put up my new Challenge, it's all about the tracking. I need to dial the food in if I want to drop BF. Weigh in and measurements tomorrow. 2 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
quilaho Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Star Wars ... It's better than I, II, & III but didn't live up to the original movies. It was a decent start for another series of Star Wars movies, though.
