Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Lee Valley double session for me today. The LJ short approach, hurdle walks and block starts were ok but not true quality. I think my drills were quality today - I concentrated, did three x 10 -20m of everything.

But the real quality was the gym session that followed. Only short (as set by coach) but I hit my deadlift PB and think I did one more rep of it than last time, which was prob a year ago.

Deadlift
4 x 30kg to warm up
6 x 50kg
4 x 55kg (I weighed 52Kg this morning so deffo above body weight!)
6 x 50kg

That final set was almost harder than the 55s, I was a bit or rather a lot, tired.

The gym was very quiet - just one bloke in there, next platform to me - he was warming up with 200kg! And there are women on the Ladies who Lift thread who can deadlift over 100.

But it’s not a competition and yes 55 is a lot for me, I’m 68 and relatively slight. Incredibly slow progress with upper body strength … skin and bone, not much muscle to begin with. But I do have powerful legs for my size, all that sprinting and jumping helps!

I know there’s always more and there’s some really good weightlifters on here too. But it is seems a mental shift, if not a physical one, to deadlift more than you weigh

I've got a loooong way to go before I could reach that. Unlikely I will, as it's not the reason I'm doing weight training.

About This Thread

Maintained by Sharkie
A place to record your quality sessions. Once a week for a kick off, if you can. Doesn't have to be running but for once I'm asking for exercise related stuff.

It has to be a session that you feel ticks all the boxes, something you really commit to, do what you mean to do. No half hearted stuff, but no plod through it either. In the words of my elite sprinter friends, you 'execute'. (Not really my friends it's just what they say on the telly.) Not necessarily hard, a...
