5 sets of 10 reps followed by roman chair sit ups 20kgs, 40kg, 60kg, then 80kg for 8 reps.

very happy with my strength at the moment, diet is good. I have started eating more fish, chicken and eggs. Rather than just the usual protein shakes as convenient meals. Also added more carbs with my morning meal, this has helped a lot. Because of this Ive added more water to my diet. My bodyweight is around 90kgs. Starting creatine again this friday.
Aiming for 315kgs for 2 reps next week on squat, will also do box squats.

My aim is to total 900kgs+, I was hoping to squat 350kgs. But my training is going realy well lately, so Im hoping for more. Just see what happens, how's your training Justin?

Not as good as I could have hoped. Lost a bit of strength and weight from having a stomach upset. I have no problems at making 82.5kg at the moment though. Less to worry about before the comp.

April the 10th is getting closer and I still haven't got any equipment.
I was happy to find out that Metal have sent my DL suit and that should be with me any day.
I'm waiting on Inzer now for the briefs, shirt and squat suit.

Do you know the qualifying total for 82.5kg, Chris???

I've been taking some time off from powerlifting, though not really by choice. Job pressure really picked up and the commute to the gym was grinding me down. I was leaving for work at 7:30 AM and getting home at 9:30 PM 3-4 times a week. So, I joined a fitness gym across the street from work and now I'm doing 3-4 whole body workouts a week. I've been doing this for about 3 months now and, while i was never fat, I have lost 7 kg and I do look a lot better. I'm 6' and got up to 116 kg and was just big. My wife is very small and she was not too happy with me at 116. However, I really miss having a specific goal in my training so I might start powerlifting again. Unfortunately, there are no good facilities anywhere near me. I'm going to want to go all out and that is not possible at my current gym. I need to come to terms with my situation and figure some balance out. I miss all my equipment back home!

very acheivable mate
Justin Hurley

I can near enough do it raw. As I am planning to be wearing two ply gear for the British, I think I could put 100kg on that total.

I'm from Chicago but I'm living in London right now. I've been here for 9 months and I'll be leaving about 1 yr from now.

Can you guys post a link with details on the Apr meet? If it works out, I'd like to come and watch.

I'm a bit confused. In your link it has 2 meets on the 16/17th and nothing on the 12th. Above you indicated you are going on Apr 10.
