Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Light ish again. Competition in a few weeks so building up intensity gradually. Will probably do 75%, 85% week 1. 85%, 95% week 2 then deload in third week. Or something like that! a lot of catching up to do! bench (slightly) wider grip today. Ring finger on rings as opposed to pinkies. Felt a bit better, think this width suits my frame better. 75x5 75x5 75x5 machine rows 40x7 40x7 40x7 unsupported seated DB press 17.5x8 17.5x8 17.5x7 pendlay rows 60x8 60x8 60x8 squat 100 for 5 triples 60 paused, high bar, 2 sets of 5 | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Medium session. Start pushing it next week. Got my new wrist wraps and rehbands today. Can't say I notice a difference with the rehbands over the tk bands yet but we'll see! Definitely hard to justify the 2x cost but they're permitted in comps I guess. squat 110 for 5 triples. deficit sumo deads - off 3 mats 120 for 4 doubles First 3 sets super fast. Last one a bit slow. close grip bench 70x5 70x5 70x5 incline DB bench 25x8 25x8 25x8 DB rows 35x10 35x10 35x10 weighted situps Good session. Glad I've built up slowly rather than jumping straight in. | ||
