Depth was fine, wraps were so loose I could break paralel with 60kg on my back.
I am off those weights now, not as far as you think but not on the same level. I was hoping to pull a legal 275 at the comp but not now thanks to the hammy.
I haven't been able to put together more than 12 weeks of injury free training in the last 18 months.
Hopefully I can get a solid year together in 2011.
If I can 250/165/300 are very doable with wraps and belt. Maybe even a bit more in the deadlift.
I've watched Nick first hand. He lifts to get stronger, he takes very few risks, trains as hard as anyone I know, yet can still only string a few weeks of injury free training together.
Pick a comp and set goals for that, continue to do so.
I just like shorter time frames, like lifts you'll make at your next comp, not 5 years away.
A lot of you guys havent even been adults for 5 years.
Job, wife, life, kids......all these things have the ability to really direct your life goals, in 5 years, most of you guys might have a wife, kid and mortgage.
Job: Yep and a tough one too.
Wife: Yep
Life: Not really
Kids: Yep, 5 years old at the moment
Mortgage: Yep, actually 4 of them, dying under debt
But I'm still lifting!!!
OK, in 5 years time I want to stop getting injuries and hopefully get to 85kg bodyweight leanish with
Squat: 180kg
Bench: 120kg
Deadlift: 220kg
I want to total 400kg next year then try and add 20-30 to my total every year if I can. But I'll settle for any gains in all lifts and just keeping at it.
5 years who knows. Hopefully injury free. I am off the long term goals they get me no where besides advancing my day dreaming. I am just going for my short term goals and keep working up once I get them and see where they take me.
in 5 years.. id like to be healthy and injury free. where i am strength wise i dont care really. if im stronger then thats great if not dont mind as long as im healthy and fit.
but in 5 yrs if my circumstances allow me to lift id like to squat 240 bench 160 Dead 270kg but if not thats cool .
