 ‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | Back after several years off competing and out the gym for a good 3 years from a mixture of life changes and chronic shoulder problems. now spend time in both saraburi, thailand and uk with missus and young boy. Aims are to be competitive at push pull level at M3 BPU/GPC (i'll be officially ancient enough sept 2023) potentially first will be the Tattoo + Strong thing next April. Squatting is purely assistance and done with shoulder friendly bars. Start 10/9/22 - 80kg x 3 bench press, 100kg x 3 deadlift.. painful nearly sick. rest of month, various sessions just doing random bench, deadlift + assistance tested progress 3/10 - BP 1 x 1 @ 120kg long pause quite hard, 150kg x 3 DL easy thought then time to get some technical proficiency benching loads and what better way than the 6 week 3 times a week soviet one. As I am so detrained working weights have risen 5kg as it's getting too easy 9/10 - Russian bench 6 x 2 @ 100kg 11/10 - Russian bench 5 x 3 @ 100kg, 1 x 2 @ 102.5kg 13/10 - Russian bench 5 x 2 @ 102.5kg, 1 x 2 @ 105kg 15/10 - Russian bench 6 x 4 @ 105kg bit harder deads are lurking in the background at 160kg x 3, but not a focus BW hovering around 96kg. Supplements/Diet - no 'supps', just a protein shake if I can be bothered mainly Thai food missus cooks and the odd farang meal (italian or maccies) lot of good protein sources in Thai so no need to go crazy here. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | RSR for bench results so far 5 x 5 @ 112.5kg (hardest session) 4 x 4 @ 120kg (easier 1 rep in tank at end) 3 x 3 @ 127.5kg (hard last rep pretty grinding) 2 x 2 @ 135kg (1 rep in tank) most of it done 1 day on 1 day off (3.5 sessions a week) on the 6 x 2 days a bit of maintenance pulls and legs on the heavy days a bit of upper back/lats and rotators bw up 4kg to 100kg no specific changes to diet training increased appetite + muscle memory i suppose. will take a training max (no psyching or grinding) on Tuesday deload for rest of week and start Smolov Jr based on that max. guessing there's a comfy 145kg there. will start a more focused regime next year for a tilt at some M3 records (september I become a M3) - think BPU or GPC brits are around then | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | last day of RSR for bench - training max BW 100.3 (clothed) bar x 15 40 x 10 60 x 5 80 x 3 100 x 2 120 x 1 130 x 1 137.5 x 1 142.5 x 1 145 x 1 all comfy, the only issue the hampering of bar path at top caused by commercial gym's propensity to have racks with deep j-hooks. strength returning rapidly rest of week just deloading and doing something different to bench ('switching' as the Soviets would call it) start Smolov JR with 145kg as a max next week. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | mild doms today - from going back to high volume after a couple of weeks peaking. diet is now a little more focused now, protein upped to 150g per day with 80g from whey powder and rest from food (80% thai (meat heavy), 20% farang) today's menu is moo nam tok + khao - grilled pork slice in a chilli and lime sauce with lots of rice. missus makes enough so we can eat it all day. | ||

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3230 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq | smolov jr day 2 30 mins pre training for DOMS: Ponstan (Thai brand Mefenamic acid) 500mg x 2 stretching, rotators + delts 1.25kg plate bench press 1 x 15 @ 20kg 1 x 10 @ 40kg 1 x 5 @ 60kg 1 x 3 @ 80kg 1 x 1 @ 100kg 7 x 5 @ 110kg - done in 25 minutes rear delt flyes 1 x 12 @ some weight 1 x 10 @ some weight + bit more weight face pulls 2 x 10 @ some weight assistance done with short rests to get a good pump in the shoulder/upper back. wasn't sure about doing the back to back day today, but family commitments mean training is out tomorrow. took a couple of NSAIDs to help DOMS and found the session easier than yesterday despite the increase in weight. now "luxury" of 48 hours off, an upper body thai massage from the missus and more moo (pork) nam tok. | ||

 6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Good to see you back training. I dropped a fair bit of weight and am only benching once a week, it's surprising how heavy 100kg can feel after being used to just throwing it about in the past  | ||
