I seem to be good at avoiding them. I hate failing lifts, so if it's not looking good for a heavy single as I'm warming-up I'll switch to doubles or triples at 80% back squat, do DE deadlift or DE 18" deadlift, or do a single within 10kg of my 1RM bench and follow that with bodyweight dips. If I don't feel up for a heavy workout before I get to the gym, but still want to train, I might decide to do this in advance.
All this means I can still get some useful and structured work in, without having to go through the disappointment of failure, or end up having to abandon the workout altogether. Works best if you train intuitively, as I do, rather than trying to follow a set routine.

Nice deadlift, is 320 an unequipped pb?

FAT_SAM said:Impressive pressing again mate! Consistently hitting 180+ now, nice work.
Thanks mate. 180 is moving fast and smoothly now. Particularly pleased that I could come back after a break and press it so easily. Just need to bust through to 187.5, then 190 and 200 will be well and truly in my sights.

Thanks. No, I've pulled 330 belt only. 320 is moving fast now and I can jump there straight from 270, which is handy. Just wanted my first few workouts after my little break to be heavy, but easy. Same for squats tomorrow, then I will start working towards some PBs in the last part of the year.

Thank mate.
No, raw bench is touch and go.

Thing said:Strong work in the last few sessions.
Thanks. Short rest did me good. Last three sessions were easy to be honest.
