Last night michael benched 145kg @ 76kg... Not once, but twice! Was a top effort.

Also had a chat with an oly coach. He is interested in coming out, and bringing his commonwealth games gold medallist out for a lift. We are going to arrange a time next week .

Sticky ,..


Are you going to install a pole for Tara...???

 

[Sticky]

She wanted me to put one in haha.
I think Ill leave that for her studio though. Not sure it would fit in well with the other guys lol


Here is a pic of michael last night.

 

[gareer]

Far out man, looking sick so far. I'm thinking of visiting while I'm on easter break so I can get my knowledge up. Need some more training tips for sure.

 

[jchen]

Will definitely be coming out when i have a more fuel economical car!

 

[Bench Polkov]

See you tomorrow dude.

Lolll agreed.

 

[Sticky]

Sorry guys, no pics of tara.

Tonight lozzo squatted up to 150kg.... For 5 reps, then proceeded to deadlift his equal PB of 220kg, and getting 230kg to his knees. Fucking soilid session from the big fella.

Michael also pulled 220kg, and Matt pulled 240kg after 187.5kg 5x5

Top session tonight.

Some pics of the 5 plate deadlifters from last night

 

[Sticky]

El Freako and The Ugly came out for a session today.
They both deadlifted, and they both pulled well.
The Ugly pulled a stupidly easy 180kg, and freako pulled an easy 240.

Dixoff came in for some squat assistance, squatted 200x3x3 with bands, then went up to 220kg. He squatted it, but I assisted him very slightly through the sticking point. He'll nail it next time.

Ducky ran through R&R program, and we also did some technique work on the deads. After that I made him do UDL's and foam roll..... He didnt like me after that haha.

Heres Freako's 220kg, not an ugly picture though.... It was to light for him to even strain lol.

 

[And the Ugly]

Great gym man! Awesome atmosphere, good gear, cool people. First time I've pulled 180 in a while. Hit mil press 12 x 60kg & a single set of 23 bodyweight dips as well.

 

[Shrek]

Great snaps.

That place looks huge.

 

[Sticky]

It's a perfect size Shrek, 220m2. After I get the full set of KB (up to 80kg, a full set of DB (up to 70kg) and a few more boxes, the place will be nice and snug.

 

[Bench Polkov]

I'm looking forward to a return visit.

Especially if Scott gets some stones in!

 

[dicko10]

Ive emailed the guy already, just waiting on his response .

Yeah mate, I have 3 beginners to power lifting at the moment.

Pete, he trains for MMA, but needs to get much stronger. His 1rm bench is 70kg, but I havent tested his squat or dead yet, he had shocking form, but its good now. I think around 80kg dead, 60kg squat is where he will be at.

Tara, she trains now for strength. She is a pole dancer instructor and needs quite a lot of strength to do all that flippy upside downy stuff. She went 80-52.5-100, with a bit left in her dead.

Ducky, Ive trained since late last year. He came to build a little strength, as he trains primarily for marathons.
He couldnt bench 50kg, nor could he squat or deadlift. Now his best lifts are 127.5/112.5/190, with the squat being his obvious weakness. He only trains once per week at PTC now, so his progress is starting to slow.

 

[gareer]

Count 4 beginners me included. When I find the time to get round to PTC!

That's impressive progress from a low base, all since late last year. Well done Ducky and Sticky!
