I'm doing a powerlifting coaching course next Sunday, recognized by the Australian Sports Commission. I'm just doing it for fun though, and hopefully I'll learn a few useful things too!
i wish i had a class of PLers instead of the class i'm in now.

Hey alco, we're doing a weightlifting workshop at my college in March. You should come!
Spend a weekend learning the o-lifts and some of their accessory lifts.

I've made some huge mistakes, but they were necessary, because without them I wouldn't have learned anything.

i do know the lifts! But it would be cool to get a few sessions in together.

So, I'm going to Sydney on the 15th. Powerlifting Australia is flying me up there for free, for a meeting. There's a competition up there on the day, so I get to watch a meet, go to this meeting, and spend a day there for free!

Well in a 12 week cycle like this, weeks 1-6 are easy, and below my rep PR's for the main lifts. Weeks 7-12 are PR's - for the squat and dead anyway, for the bench I'm trying something different, a wave cycle that doesn't really get hard until the last few weeks.
Last week of raw 6's will be 150kg in 2-3 weeks time.
Simon, don't you feel like you have to hold back some? I mean don't you get to six reps and think 'well I could do six more, but that's not written in the program'?

Also kinda had a crash today, not sure if it qualifies as a crash though - front right tyre blew, spun out onto kerb where the rear right tyre then also blew, barely any damage to the car at all.
I have to take the train to the gym tomorrow... FUCK!!!
But it would be cool to get a few sessions in together.
