Na its not a strength issue, I just want to get a bit deeper with the squat thats all, truth is I probably could have got that extra rep but I wanted the form spot on.

hey bro :)

i havent checked in here in quite a while. my apologies. i've been busy with exams and if im here its to harass Eric with pm's :biglaugh:

i am glad you're last workout went so well. its very cool that you can do chins with added weight. i wonder if i can do that.

anyways, i hope all is well. i will try to be here more often :)

Hi Anuj

No probs mate

Hope the exams are going well,best of luck bro. :)

thanks dude :)

the exams are going alright. 1 more big paper to go :)

Light Day (yeah Im a bit behind!)

Good day today on squats, feeling nice and tight on them I think all the stretching im doing is helping.Press suffered a bit but Im in new weight territory so I expect it should be quite hard from now on.I missed on only my 3rd set and then just hit 4s from then until I made 25 total reps.Nailed all 5 reps on deadlifts so up we go next week.

Light Day 12/12/07
Squat 2x5 70kg
Press 2x5,4,3,4,4 42.5kg
Deadlift 1x5 130kg

Good day :)

Performance Day

Had a great day today,hit PRs on sqauts and bench again,chins was an equal PR.Very happy day. :)

Performance Day 14/12/07
Squat 1x2 112.5kg (PR)
Bench 1x1 90kg (PR)
Chin 1x4 BW+18.75KG

I kind of messed up my setup for bench PR so I only got 1 rep.It was 35 degrees celcius in the shed where I train and all the sweat kind of stuck me to the bench,I wasnt as tight as I would have liked to be,Im confident I can do a double with that weight next week,we will see.

congrats on the PRs, sir! :)

better watch it Hops, I'm only 16lbs behind you in deads :)

I know you love your deadlifts Riddick :)

You have no idea how tempted I was on wednesday to just keep throwing on plates and see how much I could pull for a single :biglaugh:

yup, ya gotta love those deads!!!

it's kind of funny but i remember thinking i had my technique on deads "down to a tee" but over the last couple of months i have improved them a lot as far as engaging the lower back in unison with the hips, legs and glutes when breaking the bar off the floor.

now if i could just get my bench to be only 16lbs under yours, then i'd really be happy!

keep up the great work mate!
