Nice well done Mars Bar. I always get to within 5-10% and then lose my motivation and ease back a bit. Going to make a concerted effort this time as I'm close now.

Good stuff. Do you have a new gripper to move on to?

LincolnHawk

I have the #3 but it's way too big a step up for me.
I'll have to get the 2.5 and work on that

I can do 5-6 reps on the 1.5.
Cant get the 2.5 closed, maybe to within 1/2”.
I must buy the 2

LincolnHawk

Yeah that should help you bridge the gap and put in the work to close the 2.5

The 3 is a huge jump from the 2. About 40%
You and DTP should swap the 2 and 2.5, then swap back when you's both close them.

Ok scratch that that, I can do 16 reps with the 1.5. Just tested while I was waiting in traffic

LincolnHawk

Nice. You'll close the 2 straight out of the box.
Ordered the 2.5 for myself, should get it next week.

God you could’ve had mine for a few months

LincolnHawk

I appreciate that thanks.
They're worth owning though, will last forever.
If you want a loan of #2 give me a shout

Second IrishPF comp done, first as a (light, weighed in 98.8kg) 105kg lifter and PBs all around.

Squat 245kg (15kg comp PB, 5kg over gym best)
Bench 125kg (10kg comp PB, 5kg over gym best)
Deadlift 265kg (5kg comp PB, 250 is still my gym best).

635kg total for a 30kg PB, so pretty delighted to say the least! Also went 9/9 for the first time.

Didn't think it was that long since your back squat PR was mid-180s when you had a log here. That's some mad progress. Fair play.

I went for the first day on a couch to 5k app, this is definitely a personal achievement for me as I completed it and didn't die. Small thing for most but a big deal for me. I started dieting 3 weeks ago and have dropped from 285lbs to 277lbs, again not a huge amount but I believe diet is the big thing to change first so now that I have improved that, it's time to get working on fitness etc.
