British Drug Free Powerlifting Championships Build Up

Dear all,

Over the last few weeks I have been knuckling down to my final competition phase in preparation for the British Drug Free Powerlifting Championships in Bournemouth on the weekend of the 27th/28th March.

Training has been consistently good and have been trying to hold back a little on the volume so as to avoid CNS burnout.

My last heavy deadlift session was done on 14/03/2010 to leave plenty of recovery time for my lower back.

I drove over to Area 51 to train with a good friend of mine and ex European Champ in the 90kg class.

The session went very well and was as follows (all weights in KG):-

Deadlift
70*5
110*5
140*1
160*1
180*1
200*2 and Personal Best

Speed Deadlifts
160*3
160*3
160*3

Rack Pulls - Knee Height
190*3
200*2
210*1
215*FAIL

T Bar Rows
60*10
60*10
60*10
60*10

Job done.

I was very pleased indeed with the new personal best deadlift for a double.
I have been after that PB for quite some time now.

Just one more relatively hard session to go before resting up.
