Alex_uk: 40 years in the making

Ha that’s a more of a mental battle rather than a physical one.
I guess I got used to it. I needed a good workout with limited weight.

I thought you’d already hit 200? Or was that in wraps?

Cheers for the pass, how much is membership?

Me best in sleeves so far is 195kg for a dub I hit last sesh. 205kg in wraps four a single.

Membership is free if u believe

Haha, all for believing in a fed that would pass me on that squat!

You not get much out of wraps then? 195 for 2 should see you get 200 easy!

Wasn’t true max on em so noir exactly accurate gauge of how much I get from wraps. That being said me limiting factor is me hips/posterior chain rn so don’t get a whole lot from wraps atm. Build it up more and/or train in wraps more often that could change

You be competing in a fed that allows wraps when you compete?

Probably. Is more fun

I bought a pair of strength shop wraps a while back, never ended up using them, tried to wrap them but couldn’t get them tucked under at the end, just seemed like way more of a faff than worth it for me.

Long nose pliers make the last bit easy to finish it. Got a pair recently myself pretty handy.

PRs all over the place - very impressive - belated congratulations from me as well.

Haha great video “oh my fat pale skin…I’m pinching my fat”, “Criss cross…jump jump…Criss cross, no one?”

Might give it a go once I’ve hit a convincing 200kg see what if they work for me, @carlbm assuming if I hit 220kg in wraps it doesn’t count!

Thanks Doomy! It’s been a productive program for sure, definitely one to run again in the future.

Ye only a matter of time if we keep working. Im trending above 200kg e-1RM but don’t see any reason to hit near maxes, overly disrupt the training process, when I can just chill and let the gains flow
