W*nker! :love:

I'd be lucky to achieve those lifts after doing several substantial cycles, even then I doubt my knees & back would be up to it.

MXD

Nice lifts TH&S
what routine do you follow?

Bulldozer

Those lifts are not amazing mate, not by any means. Not even for a natural lifter.

Hell some girls can lift more :rolleye11 ;)

shorty

cool... good lifts for a guy your size..most powerlifters are about 5ft!...pmsl... cheating b@stards!!

Tall

Abbreviated training I would class it as.

I tend to change my routine every 4-8 weeks depending on how the gains are going, but the following are always in:

Deads
Squats
Bench (Flat or Incline)
OHP (Of some kind)
Chins

And these get rotated:
SLDL
Dips
Leg Ext
CGBP

I'm currently starting a Push/Pull/Dynamic split. I monitor progress overall by testing 1rm/2rm on Deads/Squats/Flat bench maybe every month or so.

I might be able to achieve the dealift natural, but definitely not the other lifts.

At the end of the day some of us just aren't built for lifting & need to accept that & then do what we can to change it.

MXD

Looks ok apart from the 1rm testing as these can fvck your cns massively, like If I go for a 1-rm on squat, dl and bench in the same day.
I have around 2 weeks off as my lifts are a lot weaker for around a fortnight

Do you incorporate speed work into the above?

Bulldozer

Indeed buddy, i was only yanking ya chain ;)

As long as you enjoy ya training, thats the most important thing to me

Im going for my first comp in 16 years in March, my how its all changed i have found lol

Tall

Lol I dont do 1rm bench, dead and squat in the same day.

But once a month one of the above will tend to get tested.

For example last start started out as 20 rep deads, and ended up with me pulling 170kgs for a double.

Hmmmm 'Speed Work' is sort of done on Dynamic Day - we are still sorting the lifts, but currently looking at:

Power Clean
Push Press
Power Jerk/Jerk/Split Jerk

and rotating in Jump Squat in week 3.

I do tend to do some speed work on Squats and Deads if I'm not feeling 'strong'.

Im 6'5ft so close to your height and think the long limbs thing definitely plays into it!!

My PB bench is 120kg but my deadlifts and squats are no where near as good as yours.

outstretched my arms measure 6'10ft from finger tip to finger tip! which was great for basketball but absolutely ****e for this game!

Tall

lol them's some long arms! I have to wear knuckle protectors do you?

lol I love those kind of sessions.
I'd say its more effective to develop strength with an upper lower over a PPL variant as you can have 2 heavy days and 2 days totally on speed and assistance work.

If you are considering a PL meat then you want to do DE work on bench squat and dead, as you mainly want to get specifically stronger at these lifts, all other work should just be assistance or heavy. ( apologies if you know :beer1

Edit: never thought I'd say "I love being 5'8!"

Spartan301

lol.

I considered them but cant get any hard wearing enough! I find shopping bags always split from dragging along the ground as well!

Tall

Cheers dude.

Yeah I'd run a 10 week training cycle prior to the comp focussing on just D / S / B and assistance
