Cheers Taz Happy I'm coming back quickly now mate...proper knocked me down but bouncing back! Hope you are well mate.

Thanks mate...coming back quickly I think Happy

Awesome session today...really enjoyed it.

Morning BW .. 105.6kg

Upper 2

Bench Press Against Heavy Bands

60kg x 10
80kg x 8
100kg x 5
120kg x 3
130kg x 2
140kg x 1
120kg x 3
120kg x 3

These felt good today...even at my peak I only managed 150kg plus the bands. More than 140kg there today but it was enough, explosive strength returning already, really enjoyed these.

Floor Press

100kg x 5
120kg x 3
120kg x 3
120kg x 3
130kg x 2
140kg x 2 rep pb

Again clicking nicely and a pretty easy double at 140...my previous old max, still going steady so left it at that. Will work these hard as its a glaring weakness.

Seated Dumbbell Press

27kg x 10
27kg x 10
27kg x 10

Not done these in a very long time so started lightish...will slowly build up, delts pumped nicely from them though.

Deadlift Rows

140kg x 6
140kg x 6
140kg x 6

Didn't go mad with weight this week as lats massively sore from yesterday, just greasing the groove this week, moved very nicely.

At this point my mate was trying Axle cleans, not done them since my strongman days so had a quick go...

Axle Power Cleans

70kg x 1 like a feather
100kg x 1 easy

Not done in ages, 100kg was simple even on a bent axle...easy 120kg there i'd say but won't be doing it lol.

Cable Lateral Raise

15kg x 10
15kg x 10
15kg x 10

Moving well today, nice and strict.

EZ Close Grip Preacher Curls

40kg x 6
40kg x 6
40kg x 6

Starting back light with these but felt really good, big ROM and a good squeeze at the top of each rep.

Pinwheel Curls

22kg x 6
22kg x 6
22kg x 12 amrap

Forgot how much fun these are...great movement...will up the weight next week, bit light.

Reverse Pec Dec

70kg x 8
70kg x 8
70kg x 8

Again fairly easy comeback, plenty to build on, good controlled reps though.

Tricep Pressdowns

35kg x 8
35kg x 8
35kg x 12 amrap

I do really like these but my elbows are sore right from rep 1, seems I struggle with any tricep isolation movement. May not do again.

And that was that...really enjoyed the session and strength flowing back already, I feel pretty much 100% now but still being careful.

My Video editor app is screwed (need a new one) so no edits...raw and uncut youtube i'm afraid...

Chest a little tight today from the cold but ok when I am inside..training went well still..

Bench Press

60kg x 10
80kg x 10
100kg x 5
120kg x 3
140kg x 1
160kg x 1
135kg x 8
135kg x 8
add heavy bands..60 sec rest periods
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2
100kg + bands x 2

Decent enough..force production on heavy weights down still but its coming back, bad work after got faster and faster and moved well...all I all productive work and plenty to build on.

Seated Behind Head Press

60kg x 8
60kg x 8
60kg x 8
60kg x 8

A decent start to these, feeling light and paused quite a lot of the reps, feels really good and blitzes delts and tris, helps with the feeling of lat activation to for bench. Will build on these.

Yellow Back Machine

108kg x 12 rep pb
108kg x 12
108kg x 12
119kg x 6 rep pb and volume pb

These are stronger than pre illness now and lats/middle back blew up massively. Felt very good.

Verticle Bench Press Machine

100kg a side x 8 rep pb
100kg a side x 8
100kg a side x 8 volume pb

Again stronger than pre illness and moving very well. The pump from this machine is unreal, just blew up from set 1.

Cable Crossovers

35kg x 10
35kg x 10
35kg x 10
35kg x 10

Good clean reps and a pause on contraction, again a great pump and rest periods quite low.

Machine Preacher Curls

55kg x 8
55kg x 8
55kg x 7

Died out on 3rd set, still not quite back to speed here, crazy pumps though and very good reps with a good stretch on the negative.

Reverse Grip EZ Curls

30kg x 10
30kg x 10
30kg x 10

Going to try and build these, forearms in bits from them and biceps too for that matter.

Weighted Dips

BW + 15kg x 8
BW + 15kg x 8
BW + 20kg x 8

Weights really ramping up well, still comfy, up from 10kg last week. Will be really hammering these as the carryover I last got from them was great, form really dialled in now.

Tricep Extension Machine

45kg x 11 sets x 10 with 30 sec rests
45kg x 1 set x 23 to failure

12 sets with minimal rest...the pump was immense, arms flooded with blood, really enjoyed these despite light weight.

Great session and feeling good, things building nicely and pleased with how I am bouncing back...

Nice session today...still lacking explosion and gym full of new year new me powerlifting kids nabbing the good bars but went well.

Deadlifts...on a crap bar Unhappy

60kg x 10
100kg x 5
140kg x 5
180kg x 3
220kg x 1
260kg x 1
280kg x 1
300kg x 1
235kg x 8
235kg x 8

First heavy conventional session since November and first heavy pulls since my illness. 225kg felt heavy last week but everything flew easily today...even on a crap bar. Was planning on going to 260kg and then doing my rep work but 260 felt like an empty bar and 280kg felt similar so did a 300kg...lacking my usual speed and explosion but moved well enough. Feels like I have a triple there should I wish so still around where I need to be. 8 Weeks to a 315kg double and a 335kg single. Ironically the 8's were the hardest part of the work but all moved well enough. Speed work Friday should start to help bring back a little speed.

Hack Squats

125kg x 8
125kg x 8
125kg x 8

Moved easier than last week, coming back nicely.

Lying Leg Curls

65kg x 8
65kg x 8
65kg x 8

5 Kg up again on last week and these were massively explosive, feeling stronger than they did pre Christmas.

Leg Extensions

60kg x 12
70kg x 12
80kg x 10 rep pb
90kg x 8 rep pb

Nice pump and good controlled lifting. Really going to try and focus on bringing up my quads.

Barbell Glute Bridge/Thrust

60kg x 12
80kg x 12
80kg x 12
80kg x 12

Trying to get some concentrated glute work into my lifting..need a pad for the bar as the weight goes up...paused the top of each rep and squeezed hard, seems to work but need more weight I think...will keep on trying to push up.

Seated Calf Raise

50kg x 12
60kg x 8
65kg x 8
50kg x 12

Quick calf blast as I feel I have to lol.

Neutral Grip Pull Ups

BW x 10
BW + 5kg x 5
BW + 5kg x 5

Feeling good...again trying to add I as much upper back work as I can...get a little in every session. These felt good and got a good ROM. Will keep building.

Kneeling Rope Crunch

40kg x 12
40kg x 12
40kg x 12

A little ab work to finish.

And that was that...the comeback continues, feeling like I am back on track..
