You going for 270?
[QUOTE=xRequiem;1024751953]You going for 270?[/QUOTE]
Probably not man. I was at that stage once but glandular fever knocked me back a few pegs. 260 would still be a massive pb and I think there is a chance I can get it. It will be my 3rd attwmpt if all goes to plan.
So got the 260 :) Lifts were 240/250/260. Came second overall (weight coefficient so no weight divisions)

I'll take three days off before starting my next week. My calves are in pain.
benching is looking awesome man. how was the 115 x 3 x 2? any left in the tank?
sore calves from squats? how?
Thanks Tom. Yeah some in the tank.
Wick it was from speed squats. It is like tendonitis on the outside of the calf in the way it feels. It was caused by practicing rather extreme stretch reflex out of the bottom. It was still bad tonight and cut my session short but not as bad. Definitely getting better.

Got a lecture from the 30kg personal trainer AGAIN about how I am going to injure my back and I shouldnt hyperextend it when benching. ..
Edit: I should have told her I was just trying to confuse my muscles! Dammit you always think of what to say when its too late.

Hey guys
So last Feb I found a small hole/hernia just above my belly button. Its 5x8mm and doc said I may have always had it and should be OK to train. I got scared and decided to stop lifting until I got it fixed (got insurance in march so won't be fixed until at least march next year.
Anyway I lost too much size and strength for my liking so I have started some training again. I am sticking to sets of 8 mostly to keep stress in the mid to low range but to hopefully maintain some muscle. I'm actually a little surprised about the small amount of strength I have maintained while dropping over 10kg.
