Powerlifting

[markos]

unfair to call that a style mate

mines a style, I choose to shave it lol

[TTT]

lol.. I've modified your strong is strong saying to "thinning is thinning"

[NickR33]

lol

probably at the stage where I need to shave it... get some Markos style... might even get some tatts/piercings!

does stop me from getting hassled driving the R though... the boys in blue must think I'm a bit older and therefore more responsible... ha!

Markos my folks were very impressed with ProRaw4... they only came for a bit, watched the bench press then went home and watched the rest on the live feed

[NickR33]

so anyway, day 3 of 'dieting'... verdict: its massively gay

did a lighter, high rep, dumbbell pressing session last night... including lots of shoulder work... low rest times and lots of drop sets... my god is it boring!

hardly raised a sweat so went and did some high rep squats to finish... last set was 100kg x 20... fark

[markos]

You not what they say

"Once you go strong you'll never go wrong"

I'm glad your folks enjoyed it, I wish your dad had come up to say hi

[NickR33]

You were pretty busy getting everybody sorted so didn't want to bother you... next time

the start of my new setup at home.

I have 250kg to start with, will have to add to that hopefully.

[markos]

Thats pretty cool, so no benching at the moment?

Just cleans/snatches/squats/front squats/overheads

Pretty much spot on.

Weightlifting is the only thing I'm really enjoying at the moment so I'll try to capitalise on that while i can.

We have a good gym at work, i'll still bench there and do a few other things, but at least i can really work on the basics

at home.

Once i c&j over 140 i might go back to powerlifting

[Husky33]

good to see the raw deads smash the equipped, and also the raw benching is great!

Very cool setup!

I would love to do some weightlifting but need some coaching first (and somewhere to do it)... I power clean/push press often but never even attempted a proper jerk or snatch... I can't even overhead squat properly as my mobility is poor

170kg bench at > 90kg! ... man I have some work to do

[TTT]

Markos has a guy at PTC that can help you.

[NickR33]

sounds good

I've resigned my full time position and am going into business for myself so should be able to get to the PTC during the week next year... Hopefully I can split my training so it's twice a week down there and twice up here

I know much more progress could be made training at PTC

What do the numbers in the gloss table represent?

Glossbrenner is a formula calculator

You punch in your bodyweight, weight lifted and it spits out a score. It also allows for age correction for over 40's and gender

Here is a link on my site, its easy to work with
