Thanks breh, it was just a case of sacking up and getting on with it, feels much better now though. Peter loaded the bar for the deadlifts because my back wouldn’t let me pick stuff on the ground up (but would let me pull over five and a half plates?) so I owe him one for that.

One hell of a session. Nice work. Training environment looking awesome as usual too.

I think my options are a tested meet next January, which from what I gather is pretty strict on depth and everything else, or a non-tested meet around September-ish.

I guess I’ll just decide closer to the date because I don’t plan on doing anything special for my first meet. I won’t cut weight or try and peak or anything, just get on the platform and try to go 200/135/250, which would give me a 585kg total, or something in and around that range. Not in a hurry, I turn 22 in August, so I have a few more years as a junior.

Had a pretty nice pressing session earlier, Peter’s was ridiculous though, everybody should check that out when he posts it.

Really happy with deadlifts, I think I’ve PR’d on them every 5/3/1 session so far.

Stupid deadlifting, as per usual these days.

ps. your collars suck (the one dig I can find towards the awesome gym)

Looks like you reached deep into the sauce today. Noice.

Sick calf genetics, you could go far in this industry.

We used to have nice screw on ones but they broke. The only downside is that it takes time to reset them and the bar ist stationary for a while, but it’s working, so I’ll probably just keep doing what I’m doing.

Thanks, my hip and lower back were really really sore, gonna have to get that looked at if Sunday goes badly.
