Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Immense session today...started slow but massively improved, feeling very very strong. Morning BW - 99.1kg Session 4 Squats - A session 60kg x 10 80kg x 10 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 3 165kg x 5 165kg x 5 165kg x 5 165kg x 5 165kg x 5 Well first working set felt horrendous...far harder than they should have, seemed to have lost my groove, but settled into the movement and got the bar lower n my back and locked in tighter and moved well...filmed the last set and it felt like I could have got 10 out easy if needed so back on track. Squats will never be a natural lift for me but its all improving. 12" Block Deads 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 140kg x 3 180kg x 2 220kg x 1 265kg x 5 rep pb 310kg x 1 PB Damn pleased. Left lat still playing up but not hindering lifts from 180 on...weight seemed to pull the knot loose if anything. Best before was 260kg x 5 fresh...no squatting beforehand so loaded a 5kg extra and banged them out nicely...felt like I was going to throw up on rep 5 so quit but I reckon another 3 there comfy...still a rep pb is a rep pb. Now me being me I thought i'd try an new single, best was a slow 305kg so figured 307.5kg when fatigued was a better idea but no room on the bar to load that weight so removed added 2 25kg plates to make an even 310kg and I was very pleased how quickly it moved, possibly...just maybe a double there but enough for today. This is a really bad height for me so VERY encouraging. Hammer Grip Chins BW x 5 +10kg x 5 +10kg x 5 +10kg x 4 +10kg x 4 I will be trying to bring these up, feels good on the back and on my niggles, done from a dead hang to chest on bar every rep, hate doing them but I feel its a productive exercise so will be hammering it. Called it a day there, intensity fairly high and done more than I expected so all good. Very pleased with how strength is increasing, feeling leaner and stronger and despite niggles loving my lifting lately, I feel my technique all round is improving, another decent week done. | ||

Paused Bench - A session 60kg x 10 80kg x 5 100kg x 5 122.5kg x 5 122.5kg x 5 122.5kg x 5 122.5kg x 5 125kg x 5 extra 140kg x 1 145kg x 1 130kg x 3 130kg x 3 Started slow, first set of 5 felt very tough but go easier as I went on and tightened form up somewhat and ended the 5's with an increase to next weeks weight of 125kg...moved well enough despite the niggly shoulder and elbow. 14 moved nicely and so did the fatigued 145 at the end, probably could have done a 150...10kg under best peaked best fatigued on a cruise, not bad. Incline Close Grip Smith Bench - 90 sec rests 70kg x 12 70kg x 12 70kg x 8 70kg x 8 vol pb Again good solid reps, bodybuilder style, chest feeling it. Decent increases on last time. Incline Dumbbell Press - 90 sec rests 32kg x 15 32kg x 15 32kg x 15 Enjoyable and still managing with no shoulder pain...will up weight next time, awesome pump in upper chest. Seated Pec Dec - 90 sec rests 84kg x 12 84kg x 12 84kg x 10 84kg x 8 vol pb Love this machine, massive pump, weight feeling pretty light. Machine Preacher Curls - 90 sec rests 75kg x 6 rep pb 75kg x 4 50kg x 15 rep pb 50kg x 12 vol pb Biceps screaming and strength again going up and up on them, biceps growing better than they ever have, really starting to pop. Rope Hammer Curls - 90 sec rests 55kg x 12 55kg x 12 55kg x 12 55kg x 12 Slow controlled reps, felt good to finish bi's off. And that was that. Deads 5x5 @ 245kg and squats 8 x 2 @ 165kg Tuesday. | ||

Ok todays session...feeling very stressed, lots of things going on family wise causing much anxiety and tbh i'm struggling a bit. Bad sleep last night, workout not fuelled very well and generally not in a great place going into todays session but figured mentally it would do me good... Deadlifts 60kg x 10 100kg x 5 140kg x 5 180kg x 3 220kg x 1 245kg x 5 245kg x 5 245kg x 5 245kg x 5 247.5kg x 5 (5x5 PB) extras 250kg x 3 250kg x 3 250kg x 3 260kg x 15 singles EMOTM Well that was tough. Its weird, the weight feels like nothing but I fade so fast...guessing it has to be building a weakness because of that. Threw on the straps for the final 5 as hands were red raw. Also managed to throw up twice during these sets. Pleased with what I got done in the end though. Paused Squat Tech Practice - 60 sec rests 60kg x 10 100kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 120kg x 2 Easy enough but this was all about refining my form and finding my ideal line...decent practice. Chest Supported Rows - 90 sec rests 77.5kg x 5 rep pb 77.5kg x 5 60kg x 10 rep pb 60kg x 10 Strength continues to build well on these, great back work and a good pump. Kneeling Crucifix Pull Downs - 60 sec rests 45kg a side x 12 55kg a side x 12 55kg a side x 12 55kg a side x 12 Tried these out for a change and they felt really good on lats actually, got a very good burn from them. Cable Shrugs - 45 sec rests 85kg x 20 85kg x 20 85kg x 20 Huge burn as limited rest as 85kg was the stack, enjoyed these. Reverse Pec Dec - 60 sec rests 49kg x 12 49kg x 12 49kg x 12 49kg x 12 Another great pump exercise and was a nice way to round upper back stuff off. Kneeling Rope Crunches - 60 sec rests 45kg x 12 45kg x 12 45kg x 12 45kg x 12 Toes to Bar x 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 Abs to finish...out of practice with toes to bar but enjoyed them. And that was that, left mentally in a better state than I went in so a win there. Hopefully I can get myself back on an even keel this week. Pressing Thursday again. | ||

Its hard to lift when you've got other stuff going on but I personally always feel better for having made myself get under the bar. Why make a bad day worse after all.
