My apologies to Dim.
In todays newsletter, I stated he left early while his training partner kept training for another hour.
Dim informed today that he had night shift, I didnt know.
Sorry Dim.
Benching tonight, Alen and Max got through PPP, then benched with chains.
Both managed 105kg bar weight + 25kg chains
Gareth discovered the wonderful world of high rep squats tonight, and box squats.
He managed to squat 200kg without doing high rep squats or box squats.
Straight sets and hard work did the job. Gareth has maxed out so we have changed his program for the first time.
Wayne, Will, John, George, James, Josta, Monica, Mick, David, Sussy, Kate and Pierre all got through their programs as well tonight.
Mick, Johnnie, Jimmy, Jason, Kat, Emma, Sean and Nikki all did full body programs, as did Max's 3 little footballers.
Around 7 Dolphins players also trained today, Taylor and Khan squatted PB's
Busy night.

I just got back from Ironedge.
The new Matrix he is putting together for PTC looks pretty special, hopefully I'll have it in a couple of weeks.
I picked up some full size 2.5kg and 5kg technical plates. These differ from his 5kg bumper in that they are solid plastic and indestructable.
Great for teaching the snatch to girls and Max's little 12-13yo footballers

Some real quality lifting tonight.
First, Armando, 48yo, been back for 4 weeks after a 6 month layoff.
Front squat - 140kg
Back squat - 170kg
Snatch - 90kg
C&J - 120kg
He is training to compete again at Masters. He needs 150/120kg , shouldnt be long.
He used his old journals, he needs to squat 200kg to C&J 150 and snatch 120
Others were doing squats PPP plus box squats, low and high.
Big Jack, 200cm, did 140kg x 3 and 150kg x 1 to the 30cm box, amazing, he had just done 152.5 x 3 on PPP
Daryl did 160kg x 1, the low box has him above parallel though.
Alen and Max got 150kg, Pierre got 110kg
Onto the high box, 45cm. Alen got 180kg, a PB.
Jack and Pierre stopped at 140kg, Daryl rested.
Max really wanted triple bodyweight to this box, he had just done double bodyweight to the low box.
He made a hard 225kg x 1 @ 74.8kg
He actually adds 75kg in the space of 6".

Any reason they're not squatting in the rack? Or they just being used by others?

I assume that's to get them used to squatting from the stands for competition Markos?
Spot on Greahame.
I have to admit, not everyone likes it, the girls prefer the power rack, Nina squatted out of the stands for the first time on Saturday, but she was doing 20 reppers, not 1RM's
Gawain, we need more stock and variety
Chocolate
Vanilla
Cafe Mocha
Strawberry
We dont need banana

I'll admit that squatting out of that thing on the wall was a little weird at first.
Not having the protection of the rack made me fail a little naked.
But then I remembered Dave was spotting me so there was no way known I was going to fail
ps Have you heard from him at all? If he's still in Mooroolbark put him onto me. Might not be able to train at PTC but he can train at mine if he likes
