    Squat:

    Low bar squat: BARx8x2, 60x6x2, 100×5, 140×4, 180×3 ( belt), 220×2 ( 46 cent bottoms & light wraps), 250×2 (straps up, 90% wraps), 282.5x2x2 (comp wraps)
    Pause squat (2 secs): 170x2x3 ( belt)

    Stretching: 30 mins

    Happy with the bar speed on 282.5, its the most I’ve squatted in that suit. Into comp suit next week for my final heavy squat.

    Bench:

    WG bench press: BARx8, 40×8, 60x6x2, 100×5, 135×3, 170×1 ( 52 SKat), 195x1x3 ( belt)
    WG board press (3 board): 207.5x2x2 (52 SKat)

    Abs: Weighted decline crunches, 5 sets 8 reps

    Stretching: 30 mins

    Managed to get 170 down in my 52 AS SKat with the chest plate right in my neck. With a belt on and the chest plate pulled down a bit, 195 was a similar touch.
    In my limited experience I’ve found the Katana shirts to be a lot more more sensitive to changes in the chest plate than a Fury or F6.
    Comp calls on all reps, happy with the press speed.

    Stiff legged dead (slow eccentric): 140×5, 170x4x3 ( belt)

    Shoulders, Tris & Back:

    Standing bar press: BARx8x2, 40×8, 60x6x2
    Tricep bar press: BARx8, 40×8, 60×8, 90×5, 120x3x3
    WG pull-up (bodyweight): 4 sets 7 reps
    WG bar row (strict): 60×8, 90×6, 120x4x2, 100x5x2, 80×6
    Ez-bar curl: 47.5x6x3

    Abs: Weighted crunches (3 sec pause), 4 sets 8 reps

    Stretching: 5 mins

    Shoulder/tricep work was just range of motion to keep the body fresh for my final bench session. Back work was higher intensity as It’s core to all 3 lifts and I find my back recovers quickly.

    Squat:

    Low bar squat: BARx8x2, 70x6x2, 120×5, 170×3 ( belt), 220×2 ( 44 cent bottoms), 260×1 (straps up, light wraps), 290×1 (90% wraps), 310x1x2 (comp wraps)
    High bar narrow squat: 120x5x3

    Stretching: 30 mins

    Used eleiko plates which made the bar a bit easier to handle (less bar bend). 310 felt good, speed was basically the same as last week.

    CG bench press: 100x5x3 (pauses on chest)

    Abs: Weighted decline crunches, 4 sets 8 reps

    Stretching: 20 mins

    Top sets felt comfortable, no sticking points. The bar touched a bit too low on the first set, second set was better.

    Bar speed good on top sets. The heavy work is done now, time to deload.
    I’m looking forward to lifting on the day.

    National Champs 2012

    Location: Dunedin
    Age: 25
    Weight: 113.0 kg

    Squat:
    1st: 310, 2 whites – finished a bit far forward, got the red from the centre ref, not sure how he could see that
    2nd: 325, 3 whites – good drive, felt the same as 310
    3rd: 332.5, 3 whites – also felt the same as 310, 7.5k PB

    I felt really strong in the squat, finished with more in the tank.

    Bench:
    1st: 207.5, 2 reds – pressed bar forward, got 2 reds for the bar dipping
    2nd: 207.5, 3 whites – straight through to lockout
    2rd: 212.5, 3 whites – good drive to lockout (equal PB)

    I reverted back to a bad habit that’s let me down in the last couple comps on my opener (pressed bar forward), I thankfully turned it around on my next two attempts. 212.5 was comfortable, unfortunately I didn’t get an opportunity to take a PB. I’m still happy with the result as I resolved my bad bench habit in comp and its the first comp I’ve used a Super Kat (size 52)

    Deadlift:
    1st: 290, 2 whites – a bit shaky
    2nd: 300, 3 reds – sat too deep, stopped just before lockout
    3rd: 300, 3 whites – sat a bit higher than 2nd attempt, still a bit shaky but locked out

    Disappointing result in the deadlift, I was struggling to keep warm and this had a obvious affect. It’s also time to get a new deadlift suit as the lower part of my velocity is stretched badly, as I coiled down into position the legs were sliding up so I couldn’t find a tight starting point. Onwards and upwards.

    Total: 845k – 5k PB, 2nd in the 120k class

    It was good to catch up with everyone and meet a few new people, there was a lot of excellent lifting across the weekend. A huge thanks to Kevin Strachan and John Strachan for helping on the day, bloody top blokes. A big thanks to GetStrength for the ongoing support.
