1 x 115kgs
F x 125kgs
10 x 90kgs

Notes
Was supposed to be 2 sets of 1 x 120kgs on bench tonight, but I was feeling confident of getting 125kgs tonight. Went for it, missed it by a c**t hair - I half think my spotter jumped in too quickly - pissed off. Need to get this pathetic 124kgs monkey off my back. I just want to get to a 140kg bench then I can stop training it!

Squats, on the other hand, were lovely. An absolute pleasure.

In short, I hate bench, its for gays.

620.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq		Tuesday 24th November

Garden Session

Log Clean & Press - Reps in 90secs
7 x 70kgs

Sandbag Press (1st rep cleaned)
5 x 67kg
1 x 67kg - hand position all wrong, nearly wiped myself out
5 x 67kg

Sandbag Shoulder
67kgs x 10 reps, alternate sides

Farmers Hold
90kgs x 75 secs - PB

Atlas Stone Run
80kgs x 12mts

Notes
Decent session tonight, log didnt feel good, wanted at least 8reps, but sandbag felt ok (apart from the one that nearly KO'd me)
Sandbag shoulder had me blowing out my arse, but managed to keep up a nice pace on them.
Pleased with the farmers hold pb, and the atlas stone run was just a bit of fun after reading about JTs crew trying them.

Steak and chips (YAY) and watching the reds (BOO) beckons.

Deads

Raw deadlifts

3 x 100kgs
1 x 120kgs
1 x 140kgs
1 x 160kgs
1 x 180kgs

F x 230kgs

16" deadlifts

1 x 190kgs
1 x 210kgs
1 x 230kgs PB

Notes
Odd session, two PBs but still feel a little disappointed i didnt get the 230kgs. Could have maybe pulled it when I did the 225kgs but I just wanted to get the PB in the bag (albeit a gay 1kg pb). Broke the 230kgs maybe 2" off the floor but it just wasnt there. It will be before christmas tho.

Partial deads is a bit of a lame PB too as its only the 2nd time ive done them.

I dont think i'll miss any aspect of bench! Log press seems to hit it quite a bit for me, but really want to get that 140kg before I jib it!
