630.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq		Strange session tonight.
Leg Press, never done before, 140kgx8, 180kgx8, 220kgx8, 260kgx8, 300kgx3. Bit disappointed because Jonny did 8 reps at 300kg and I just couldn't.
Overhead Press, 60kgx8, 70kgx8, 80kgx6, 90kgx1 - mystified by this ! I was going for 5 !!!
Bench Press, 100kgx6, 120kgx5, 130kgx1 - again, total disbelief but number two just wasn't happening. I was going for 4 or 5 then moving on to 140kg !

I'm very confused because Mondays session was a good 'un and I was convinced the rest had done me good. And then today I do this. I have searched my head for a reason why and really don't have one. The best I can come up with is that I've had three early starts in a row, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday but didn't feel tired at the Gym, so don't think it's that.

I guess we'll see what Monday brings, I'm tempted to switch back to 5x5.

Dan I think the reason is probably because a long rest can often be very beneficial for the deadlift (i.e. lifters will often stop going heavy 3 weeks before their comp) - whereas with bench press etc. lifters will often work up to their opener a week beforehand.

Basically I think that you retain a lot more of your pulling strength than pressing if you have a few weeks off.

630.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq		Thanks Rob, that could well be it mate. I guess time will tell if I get my strength back over the next two or three weeks. One thing is for sure, I'm gonna get back to a 5x5 and do some good solid work for a while.

Jonny, I saw no reason to tell the whole world about their favourite Super Hero getting squashed under a "mere" 300kg ! All their illusions would be shattered...you just broke all their hearts you evil man Eek
P.S. Thanks for saving my life PMSL.

See you Monday.

301.0 kgs @ 103kgs UnEq		i always put my hands infront of my knees
when im heavy leg pressing and if it doesn't look like its going up
i'll push my knees with my hands and it goes up
thus no need for a mighty boar

Good thinking. However I was too busy laughing at my pathetic lack of strength and the strained look on the Boars face as he tried to haul 300kg off me all on his own !
My Quads are well sore, so I will definitely do Leg Press again, but after Squats and not instead of.

630.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq		And verily the gauntlet was thrown down to make 220kg Deadlift for 5 reps...and I failed completely and accidentally did 6 Grin

Deadlift, 100kgx8, 140kgx3, 180kgx3, 200kgx3, 220kgx6.
T Bar Row, 70kg, 8,8,8.
Shrug on a machine, full stack ( not very heavy ), 20, 20, 20.
Barbell Curl, 40kg + short bar, 6,6,6,5,4.

Good sesh. Jonny did a 220kg Deadlift off a platform which was some pulling. Videos of our efforts are to follow shortly, courtesy of the Boar.
Next sesh will be Wednesday, Bench Press all on it's own.

630.0 kgs @ 119kgs UnEq		Luckily I sold my R1 Grin

I can't possibly stay off forever, I reckon as soon as I start wasting away I'll be back on but I want to stick to very low doses. I'm thinking half a gram a week tops. At my age its basically self administered HRT !!!
