Bart in light of me giving you shit about the holes in your belt that is a fucken brilliant comeback <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> -
Still keeping on keeping on. Weight about 98-99kg depending on the time of day. Strength in most lifts at an all time high. Really pleased that I busted out six chin ups with 30kg attached the other day, belt didnt like it though so the buckle snapped and had to buy another one, DOH !<br />
<br />
Buying another one was definitely on the cards as the pants are pretty loose still, a bit more give than during the World cup as alluded to above ! -
[sup]Deadlifted for the first time since november ( according to my vague training schedule ) and maxed out at 215kg !!!! [/sup]<br />
<br />
[sup]Fucken thrilled about that, I put the improvement down to chins/pulls which I have been doing quite a lot of. Awesome feeling getting that weight up there. [/sup] -
Not sure why my writing was so small above ! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/idiot2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':idiot2:' />

Hey partner,<br />
<br />
Marginally disappointing actually, only ripped out 5 on the 5+ and even then it was only just, no way I was gonna even contemplate a 6th ( this was for benching )<br />
<br />
Maybe I didn't rest enough between sets ? not enough sleep maybe ? ( work has been stressing me out so definitely a possibliity ). Perhaps I shoulda started on the 90% as suggested. What are your thoughts dude ? -
Hmmmm hard to say mate.<br />
<br />
You lifted more than 5 reps of that weight before? If not you might have just got ya 1RM wrong / too high.<br />
<br />
Or maybe just an off day....we all have them.<br />
<br />
1st weeks pretty though so bit of a suprise. Its not a fail or anything though - you made the minimum reps. -
Yeah pal, 7 I think but the first two sets may have taken more out of me than I thought. Will see how next bench session goes. Forgot to say I did a 5/3/1 for bicep curls, now I did FARKIN well at that strangely enough, I split the workouts in half across the day. Chest and arms sore today !

I too, can deadlift plenty more than i can squat, and i reckon its a heap more useful strength. We had to change a wheel on the trailer at work the other day......d'oh, no jack. Outta the way boys.........i reckon it was only about 100kg lift but im sure it looked impressive!

Amen to all of the above pal. Deadlifting is far more useful "real world" strength. While I wouldn't mind squatting more than I do ( or don't ) Deadlifting is more beneficial and is the ultimate exercise IMESHO.
