As requested by Rob here is my log.

I do push/pull/legs with 0-2 days of rest between them depending on how I'm feeling.

Push - Bench Press, DB Shoulder Press
Pull - Pull-up, DB Row, Good Morning
Legs - Squats, occasionally FS added in

s**t diet but creatine and whey etc, aims are bigger poundages and a one-arm pullup.

Squat
2x90kg PB
6x75kg
6x75kg
6x75kg
6x75kg

Think I've got 95kg in me, possibly 100 if I don't go ATG. Aim was 1x90kg nd 4x6x75kg so I'm happy with that.

5x5x77.5kg next

Good stuff mate, must be 100 there for sure if you don't go super deep like you said.

Best of luck with the log.

Good work man. How did you warm up to the sets with 90kg? Those are good to write down too, i know it is boring, but it sometimes helps you to see what kinds of warm up build ups make you stronger and what not.

Good luck with your goals!

I hope you didn't warm up on the treadmill or similar mate. That would be an instant fine if we knew you better!

I warmed up with a few 20kg squats, a 60 and an 80. I hate warming up.

Nice to see your log Alex. If you ever want to join us on a Sunday for some squatting you're more than welcome mate. You'd be surprised how much of a difference 3 or 4 fat blokes shouting at you can make.

Come on mate, if you lifted it it counts. Maxes aren't supposed to be pretty! Grin

Good to see deadlifting in the program.

Push

Bench Press
6x70kg
5x70kg
4x70kg

Seem to have plateaued a bit here, tried for 4x6x70kg three times now and getting worse each time. Also failed 87.5kg over the weekend. Gonna drop back down to 3x10x60kg then work up to lower reps and hopefully nail 4x6x70 and 1x87.5 by the end of the month.

DB Shoulder Press
4x22.5kg
4x22.5kg
4x22.5kg - very difficult
4x22.5kg - also very difficult

22.5's are too heavy for me to throw around at the moment so gonna drop the weight back to 17.5 and try for 3x10 next session.

Definitely think that pushing pretty much each set to concentric failure has blasted my CNS a bit.

11/10

Squat
5x77.5kg
5x77.5kg
5x77.5kg
5x77.5kg
5x77.5kg

Not massively difficult but lost form a bit on the last few reps of the last sets, not putting enough legs into it.

6x4x80kg next I think.

Got to agree here - if you locked it out then unless it was hitched it counts! By all means note down that it was s**t but don't cheat yourself out of a PB!

Excellent pull-up PB as well - your log suggests you just jumped straight in with a +35kg single: surely not?

Abandoned the routine in favour of some deadlifting...

Deadlift
8x60kg
5x80kg - easy, upped the weight
5x100kg
5x100kg
5x100kg
5x100kg
5x100kg

3x8x90kg next time

Decided to try for a squat PB
5x60kg
1x80kg
1x95kg PB

I'd like a 100kg olypic style squat, then I'll try this just parallel tomfoolery Confused Confused Confused

That 95 was pretty easy mate, you've probably got 100 in you already.

If you started powerlifting squatting I think you could quite possibly nail 140 in three months or less, with a little Sugden weight gain Grin
