I know this may sound pretty poor to everyone else but I hit 65kg on my squat today for 8. I think this is pretty good as I know had my form corrected a month ago and was stuck on 40kg for over a yr trying fix my form so im pretty stoked
Mate take a bit of pride in your lifting. 65kg is a HUGE improvement on 40kg. Effectively you've just increased your lift by over 50% which is massive. You should be stoked. Well done.

You will never be strong enough if you wait.
60x8 will already give you 85-90. If you think that will be the lowest in a local novice...it wont be.
I have a mate. Jack. Squatted 120, benched 85, deadlifted 140 at nationals this year. Weighed 75. Easily last. Gave no fuck. Was proud as punch! And so was I! That was his 3rd comp! So he basically started like 4 weeks after he picked up a bar!
220kg sumo deadlift today! I never train sumo and I was very surprised. Last time I tried sumo, years ago, they felt really awkward but they felt great today. If I can work on my hip mobility a bit and actually train the lift then I think I can be much stronger pulling sumo.

That squat and bench will roughly be what KFG takes if he takes the plunge at the novice comp coming up.... Them feels. At least than l'll have some comp maxes to go on though after that.

Yep I'm competing, just need to stay injury free for a couple more weeks!! Lol
I'm not sure who better to work out my openers than me, since I'm the one lifting it.
I've decided to upload my first 190 dl from two weeks back
The music is absolutely awful for the lift approaching
[MENTION=14860]Mackie[/MENTION]; [MENTION=9039]D1cko[/MENTION]; @kfg; continuing our conversation of power in parts of the movement, have a geez at where the power comes in for me with my old style
Hard as fuck off the ground... Then it's just an easy hump
Do you guys attribute your speed off the ground to dead stop deads solely, or anything extra to work on there?
I've gotten used to the fact that the only people who'll ever find my physique impressive are people who don't lift. I'm content to ride out relative strength, and if I gain any muscle in the process, it's an added bonus.
Have never felt I needed them with over under grip and preferred them outta the way
Def not double grip... I can't hold anything more than 140 like that. Just rolls out
