Gonna have some updates here soon, today was my first gym workout since pre lockdown. Worked up to a set of 5 at 140kg on the bench so this year's best of 150kg is close, shouldn't be too far away from a PB either.

Squat tomorrow if the rack is free, if not I'll deadlift.

Bit of an update

Baxter --------------- 200 / 165 / 240 ----------------------- [107] --------- 605

New years best for squat and deadlift and a new PB for the bench, back into the 600 club too. Heavier at the moment but the waist is trimmer. Probably best I have ever looked.

can I have some of your bench please. our other lifts are so similar and then your bench just comes marching into the room.

I'm slowly getting back my strength - I'm in my 40s now and things hurt for longer! :(:D

Isn't there a veteran league table instead? I can't keep up with the young whippersnappers! :p

I'm no where near my best (i think 615+kg?) - but you've got to get going again I guess!


Freefaller --------------- 205+ / 130+ / 230+ ----------------------- [94] --------- 565

My goals are:

220 squat,
bench meh who cares,
250+ deads

Probably take 3-4 months at least - but if I can break 600 as a vet, I'll be happy with that considering I'm tiny now (under 95kg!)

:D Thank you.

I was always a bit of a deadlift/squat monkey until just over 2 years ago I decided to really concentrate on getting my bench up, was stuck around 137.5 for a long time.

i found for myself less is more for bench, 1 heavy set a week is enough to see some linear progress and a bit more accessory work. OHP in particular.

Cycle complete, wish my bench would stop lagging behind so much.

Kaptainmarc --------------- 205 / 115 / 240 ------------------ [107] --------- 560

Join the club. Bench is my nemesis, bloody long ape-like arms doesn't help.

If I can keep myself under 95kg and break 650kg total I will be very happy. I know if I let myself bulk back to my 100kg+ days I can move more, but ugh, can't be arsed with eating so much! I already eat around 4k calories a day...

If you added a bit more to your bench your total starts to get very sexy.

Yeah im quite happy with my other lifts, I think theres more in the deadlift aswell! aiming for 250 end of this training cycle.

coach has put a bit more emphasis on my bench this time round so hopefully it will start increasing, I have little to no power off my chest but lockout is easy.

Small update for me, couldn't train in lockdown but being back things are still going ok-ish considering I'm still very new to training.

Going to try push all three lifts more all year hoping to see some improvements by Christmas. 200 DL would be nice!
