Kept the pressing downa little today as I havent trained for over a week. Three heavy weeks to go before Bodypower Expo so Friday's training will be heavy each week so to cope Tuesdays will be easier. Looking forward to getting into my proper shirt and seeing what happens over the next 4 weeks..

Done. This is week 1 of 3 building upto the Bodypower Expo Bench Champs. Wanted to get into my comp shirt and get some weight in my hands. The bench we use is broken - the weld has split and lucky it was noticed as we were only benching the bar. I hate to think what would have happened had I carried on with the broken bench! So after switching benches twice trying to find one that was close to comp height we got there in the end![]()

Pants. Not impressed today with training. The 300kg should have been easy but it wasn't for going today. Setting up on a make-shift bench probably doesn't help at all - so will probably venture down to Catt's gym next week for my last heavy session before Bodypower

Got a bit of tendonitis in my bicep and shoulder and both forearms. Backed off again today, looks like my last heavy session before bodypower will be next Monday with Andy B and the Leeds lads hopefully. If all goes well it'll be game on - just need the injuries to hold out and get my stuff together!

Good session today over in Leeds. Tendons are killing me so decided against going over 280kg. Some impressive benching from Andy Bolton too![]()

Weighed in at 109kg. The plan was to compete at 100kg but somehow managed to get too heavy (dam those haribo's!)

Left it there - my arms were hurting bad and it wasn't a pretty rep. It was going to be all or nothing on the platform...
First Attempt - 282.5kg - Fail
Got it down almost to my chest but felt wrong and thought my arm was going to snap. The spotters took it off me.
Second Attempt - Missed
Third Attempt - 282.5kg - Good lift!
Not sure how this happened but got it down ok and it went back up. Two whites, was a little shaky but it went up ok. That's a 2.5kg PB after a pretty poor build up and having no bench in our gym and major tendon problems.
This was enough to secure second place in the Bench Press in the 110lkg Men's class. So all in all not a bad day out
Now to fix myself, sort out my weight and close the gap to 300kg...
