Why aye. You were about 90kg a month or so back. Have you given birth to twins or something?

:lol: welcome to the shit yourself to death diet.

Probably closer to 3 months ago as well, you'll be glad two know my lifts are all increasing though well until I injured my Groin bucking Kelly Brook.

In your email now mate. Was waiting to see your training log as this mesocycle changes slightly going in to a mock meet in a few weeks

Cheers, realised I didn't add my body weight and fatigue ratings like. But weight is 0.5kg up this week and I have barely felt fatigued at all except the end of last week.
 
Few clips from yesterday and today. 240-260-160.


262.5kg**

Just weighed myself and apparently I'm 95kg today :lol:

I must have retained a mixture of water and shite today.

Do you find using a monolift gives you anything extra over walking it out? Or is it really negligible. I had read it only makes a massive difference for equipped lifters.

Just there's a few noises from various people in my gym about getting one - we're regularly asked what we'd like and the management is usually pretty keen to get things people want/need. But, as far as I know, everyone doing powerlifting competes raw so perhaps there's no point. I'd like to see new benches over a monolift tbh if there's money to be spent.

Any advantage is small imo. I walk everything out apart from one day where I'll use the monolift

Aye raw lifts can usually be walked out cause you only struggle in the hole, equipped helps in the hole so it's naturally a bigger weight and more dangerous to walk out with anyway.

Not just that but multi-ply kits are so restrictive. Guys can barely unrack some of their attempts

That feeling when you squat 270kg...

The bodybuilder at my place who never trains squats has just had that put up on the leaderboard, replacing the 260kg he did a few months ago.

The f***ing prick :lol:

He must literally have multiple sessions per day and trains squat earlier because whenever I see him he's doing leg press, leg extensions and calf raises for legs.

What a cu.nt. Here's me swuatting 5x a week to get it :lol:

Trained with Dave this morning though. He did 340kg for a triple after 365kg x 1 last night and 385kg which he missed. So came in to make up for it this morning.
