Good to hear you on a PT course, will be good for you mate especially with the amount you have learnt over the years and also more importantly done and experienced yourself! Something many PTs will lack. Hello mate, good to see you back! Cheers bud...its all ticking along nicely at the moment and only one niggle to deal with currently in my shoulder Yes I can't wait to get business up and running...logo all sorted, everything ready to go just need to bit of paper qualifying me to get insurance...the 25 years of in the gym experience apparently count for nothing lol!! Never mind, won't take long! Cheers Taz | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Lol...I think i'd feel a bit of a knob wandering around commentating on the gym...if its quiet one day maybe lol! Great session today, shoulder a little twingy but nothing too bad.. Bench Accessory Day...Week 3 Dead Stop Floor Press 60kg x 10 80kg x 10 100kg x 5 120kg x 3 140kg x 1 150kg x 5 rep pb (not failure) 172.5kg x 1 PB 160kg x 3 155kg x 3 140kg x 5 Moving nicely today, 150kg x 5 flew up and felt light so thought i'd try a 1 rep to see how it felt, moved ok and felt pretty light in the hands. Backed the weight off and got some work I after, all building very well. Dead Stop Reverse Band Bench 180kg x 1 200kg x 1 220kg x 1 230kg x 1 pb 240kg x 1 pb 220kg x 2 220kg x 2 Strength really increasing now, only ever done 240kg reverse bands with a TnG style and a little bounce off the chest. Checked weights after and bands take off 60kg so that 240kg is 180kg on the pins. Not maximal either, another 5kg maybe there, feels heavy at the top that's for sure. Backed off for a couple of solid doubles. Seated Strict Overhead Smith Press 92.5kg x 5 rep pb 100kg x 3 rep pb 105kg x 1 pb 90kg x 7 rep pb 80kg x 15 rep pb Again strength going crazy on overhead, these are building so rapidly..really hits front delts and triceps so well, it feels like it is aiding my bench lock out so will go with it this cycle. Reverse Band Close Grip Bench Press 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 180kg x 5 185kg x 5 Triceps battered from these, can really feel them working. Finished off the press work today well. Iso Hammer Row 80kg x 15 100kg x 10 rep pb 100kg x 8 80kg x 12 Lats a little sore from Tuesday still but I am trying to hammer my upper back this cycle as much as possible...felt strong though and moved nicely, ripped hand was hurting a tad on them but nothing too bad. Close Grip EZ Preacher Curls 45kg x 10 45kg x 8 45kg x 8 45kg x 8 30kg x 17 + 5 + 4 rest pause Quick bicel blast to finish and as usual an insane pump was had, weight and reps up, moving well. Stretched out upper body and called it a day...huge volume squat day tomorrow and not going to lie...dreading it but it shall be done. Vid... | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Great work as usual mate. Do you find the biceps work has any impact on your pressing (or other lifts) or are there other reasons. | ||

Likes tight rubber Member 2981, 11067 posts SQ 242.5, BP 192.5, DL 330765.0 kgs @ 92.9kgs UnEq | Cheers Nails...I find for bench its an absolute must...its massively helped my bench in terms of stability and power in the negative section of the lift. I can see it being beneficial for overhead too for similar reasons tbh. Also I noted that my arms are 18 1/2" Cold so want to get them to 20" before I cut lol Struggling with sleep this week, have a few issues causing worry and work is full on and my mind is therefore a little overactive but no doubt will improve the next few days. Today was squat day and lots of it, volume peak for squats.... Squat 60kg x 10 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 140kg x 3 160kg x 1 180kg x 1 210kg x 3 CAT Squats - beltless 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 160kg x 4 probably a volume pb Weak Point Pin Squats 160kg x 6 160kg x 6 180kg x 4 180kg x 4 200kg x 2 Tough old session...more mentally than physically, stretching and rolling between sets. 60-90 seconds rest between the volume stuff and I felt it. The top triple wasn't the best today, felt a bit off but only 10kg under my best triple so acceptable. Zero gym atmosphere made it tougher, had to go into my own little world and just get the work in. Pin Squats at the end felt good despite lower back feeling pumped to hell, everything moving pretty snappy. Weak Point Paused Speed Deads - 30 sec rests 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 160kg x 2 Moving well, tried to be as fast as I could after the pause, decent enough. Lying Leg Curls 80kg x 5 80kg x 5 80kg x 5 80kg x 5 80kg x 9 amrap Very explosive reps, I do enjoy this movement. Iso Hammer Rows 170kg x 5 170kg x 5 170kg x 5 170kg x 5 170kg x 5 170kg x 5 170kg x 5 170kg x 10 amrap...utter failure Short rest periods and lats were on fire, a good amount of extra upper back work put in quite quickly. Stretched out and called it a day. Feeling the volume of this week now...more mentally than physically, deloading main lifts next week then we lower reps and up the weight entering phase 2 of the plan. Vid | ||

my wood got all bloody Member 1001, 5711 posts SQ 240, BP 160, DL 272.5672.5 kgs @ 102.5kgs UnEq | Another boat load of volume again mate. I'd like to see the CAT squats. I can't fire my right bicep very well and I wonder how much this effects my pressing. It's an area that need address from an injury prevention perspective regardless. | ||

Ta mate...CAT squats are just lighter, faster squats mate, nothing interesting tbh! How come you have a bicep that doesn't fire mate? Worth trying to improve it, I know Paul Carter is a big believer in biceps aiding overhead work. | ||

Things going to start getting heavy after next weeks deload mate, I have a 500lb squat to double, 180kg bench to double and a 700lb deadlift to double at some point before moving to singles. | ||
