update.
while waiting for friend yesterday.

i did 1 rep of 100kg of squat! woot. heh

but i think it can be too heavy for me. my right quad!! ouch. thank for that pain is only for a few second.

 

[galapogos]

Wow, good for you! First squat number for your entry and you hit 2 plates per side!

Hey folks. I know I haven't posted much, but been browsing now and then.

Anyway, an update.

I just came back from a small comp since my disastrous performance at last year's Oceania.

Well...didn't get off to the best of starts. Did not have access to a Sauna to make weight, so had to resort to all sorta nasty tricks

Attempted to create a Sauna with a hot shower, but misheard coach's instructions and stood under a hot shower and almost passed out....VERY DANGEROUS.

Tried spitting 1/2 a kg - and succeeded, but didn't have saliva until about 11pm that night (NOT RECOMMEND UNLESS DESPERATE TO MAKE WEIGHT).


BODYWEIGHT - 109.4kg

SQUAT - 205kg (10kg drop from PB due to cramping and failure of 220kg at sticking point.)

BENCHPRESS - 160kg (finally...)

DEADLIFT - 245kg (100% effort)

TOTAL - 610kg.

First of all, congrats! Those are hella heavy lifts! I'm glad I have some work to do now, it's been pretty quiet around here for a while, hehe. Hope you get your squats up soon! 700kg total in sight?

Haha..thanks man.

Well...squats was truly dissapointing to be honest. I was doing 195kg for reps of 2 in training with ease...so 205kg was actually my opening attempt (something like a warmup).

I missed 220kg on my 2nd attempt at about 3/4 through the rep...drifted forward and loss control. 3rd rep was more disastrous when I couldn't get the rebound as I went down (left quad gave out.) Limped off the platform.

Well..700kg would be awesome. If I stay as a 110kg lifter, I'll need 690kg to get to Grade A, but I'm under instructions to bulk to 120kg, but will need a 710kg total. Either one will take me AT LEAST the rest of the year to achieve.

Atm, body fat is high, so considering just staying at 110kg until I lean out a bit.

 

[galapogos]

Hmm, what's this Grade thing about?

 

[Doinker]

Oh, my bad.

Grading is just a standardised...well..grade determined by weight of the lifter and total weight lifted.

Sorta like the 'belt' system in martial arts.

There are even more advanced 'Wilks coefficients' for determining strength, but thats a bit deep for anyone not into lifting.

 

[galapogos]

Damn, I'm only in Group D...

Heres my new deadlift number .

Did 1 rep of 125 kg today.

I felt that i could go on and went for 130 but just cant get it up . Maybe cause before that , I did a few sets of deadlift before I went for the 1rm test. Trying for 3 plates a side ....140 kg here I come!

 

[galapogos]

Thanks for the update. It's been too quiet around here...I miss heavy deadlifting, squats and rows

 

[X_slinger]

I think this is a good standard chart. http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.htm

 

[icyhell]

ok currently 70kg and 1.78m.
according to the rep max calculator:
Bench - 141lb
Squat - 141lb
DL - 141lb

is that wierd or wot. i lift exactly the same weight for the big 3 lol.

 

[galapogos]

Well, usually for most people who train regularly and seriously, bench is the weakest, followed by squat, and deadlifts are the strongest. Of course, there are people with chicken legs and a huge torso who train their upper body all day long and have never done a squat or deadlift in their life. Definitely frowned upon over here

An equal bench/squat/dl is a sure sign that you need to squat/dl more!

 

[icyhell]

yea i'll do that man. maybe im jus too chicken to squat more haha

 

[icyhell]

had a new pb today. 60kg for 6 reps for DL.

 

[X_slinger]

New update .

130kg deadlift for 1 rep . Tried 140 but stuck at half way so need to go slow.

 

[galapogos]

Congrats! Updated...

 

[Funicle]

[small_boy]

dumbell presses 100kg X 4

 

[galapogos]

Nice job small_boy, you're by no means small! Anyway, lofty goals, but I hope that in the long term you aim to have bigger squats numbers than bench!

btw any DL numbers?
