 No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 4251050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Fatpete said: And a very fine job you did. Pleasure to meet you today and you too pete, it's always helpful when someone who knows what they're doing is willing to offer advice. one thing I picked up on was the importance of protecting my confidence! less attempts at something I might fail in training would go a long way towards helping that, as well as improving the quality of my training. less mistakes will be made in my next power cycle! | ||

You have a really good bench setup by the way, I could do with an arch like that. | ||

No one believed him anyway. Member 958, 11411 posts SQ 410, BP 215, DL 4251050.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Another good bench session today, wasn't planning on doing this but felt so good warming up that I didn't want to miss the opportunity, I don't get that feeling where you know everything is going to go perfectly very often so I went for it. Bench press, all paused Bar x 7 or 8 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 - felt amazing, REALLY tight at the bottom, felt like nothing. Shirt on 145kg x 1 - perfect, just about on the limit of what would've touched 155kg x 1 - perfect again, easy too 162.5kg x 1 - PB, no problem 165kg x 1 - PB again, no problem again. Tempted to carry on but left some in the tank, 170 can wait. Easy deadlift session, all unequipped Straight leg bar x 5 70kg x 5 120kg x 5 170kg x 5 normal, all reps were a DEAD lift 220kg x 3 260kg x 3 Hate deadlift reps, but as usual for me, if I hate something it's a good indication that I should be doing it. I've made good progress just doing singles on deadlifts, I'm ready to try something new. Close Grip Bench Press - mega paused bar x 5 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 5 120kg x 1 130kg x 1 - bit of a struggle but not bad for close grip at the end of a good bench session | ||
