    The PB Thread

    Thanks, man. The last 6 months has been progress city. My bench PB was 95kg 2 years ago, and hadn't improved at all until the last 6 months. In fact, back around May (I think) I wasn't game to go above 85kg for a single. So I've managed to add 10kg to my all-time PB in about 6 months, and 20kg...

    Bench press 3x97.5kg. 6 months ago this would have been more than my 1RM. I am okay with this.

    The PB Thread

    Good job in comp, Timeah. This morning, after a week off from sickness, I got a PB bench press of 3x5x87.5kg. 105kg for the nationals qualifier is looking promising.

    Recommend me a program

    I've given 5/3/1 a couple runs for its money. The second shot at it was more successful than the first (in that my top end strength didn't go backwards), but overall my assessment is, as you say, that it's just not enough volume (or, more to the point, it's not enough relevant volume). Where I...

    This morning I saw a woman with a significant dose of extra weight to lose pwning a much leaner woman in bodyweight exercises. Good job, lady.

    What is your workout routine?

    Upper/lower split, 6 days a week when I can (which is consistently the case for the next 3 or so months). Reverse pyramids for main lifts (if I can safely do so -- can't really do that for wrapped squats because I get out of the groove, so I'm more likely to do a regular pyramid for them or just...

    ink81 Awesome deadlift! Interesting to watch -- the struggle is clear, but it's also a fast lift. crf529 Good job! I'm looking forward to achieving that, myself. For me it's 7.5kg to go. Yesterday I benched 3x5x86kg, which is a little 1kg PB.

    the what u saw at the gym TODAY thread

    New guy who's been training for all of about 3 weeks deadlifted 160kg this afternoon. I reflected on how many years it took me to do the same. I cried on the inside. Then he deadlifted 170kg.

    What are the biggest mistakes that you made when you started powerlifting?

    If it were important enough to me (it isn't) I could dig through and find examples of at least most of these thoughts coming from Rip's mouth/pen. But yeah, it is his followers who go full retard and turn everything into an absolute.

    GVT = German Volume Training. They were doing something similar to that, but it was slightly more sets of slightly fewer reps. Today I saw zombies, as we were all the walking dead due to heat exhaustion.
