 Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | bench 99x3 99x3 99x3 pretty sure spotter helped on final rep  don't think I'd have got it anyway, technique a bit crap today.speed squats - medium chains 82.5x2 82.5x2 82.5x2 82.5x2 82.5x2 82.5x2 82.5x2 82.5x2 all lightning. Technique solid incline DB bench 30x12 easy 30x12 very hard Traps and upper back still knackered from Saturday, couldn't get them properly tight for bench. First rep I've missed on this routine, let's hope it's the last! Strong session overall though. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | squats 150x3 150x3 150x3 No time for assistance. Squats were f**king hard. Lots of grinding. Technique good on first rep of each set but obviously not perfect on the others. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | Snatch isn't as aggressive as I'd like, something I need to work on. Any tips, feel free to chime in. | ||

Previous 1rm for two sets of two, that's what I'm talkin' about! Second rep of each set was a fight! Technically that was supposed to be the end of the session but I felt like doing some press. Almost failed to press 55, so called it a day and concluded that heavy bench does in fact make the press weaker  | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | squats 159x1 good rep but failed the second one! 159x1 terrible rep and failed second again! 159xf well so much for 2x2! think the fatigue has really accumulated over the past couple of weeks. the deadlifts on Tuesday didn't help either. warm ups were unbelievably painful. even now on the way home I'm feeling a bit dizzy. I'm not too fussed as this is the first time I've failed on the routine, it was to be expected. on a separate note I think one of my shoulders is tight.When I was setting up I noticed the bar wasn't symmetrical, felt very unnatural lining it up in the middle. in two minds whether to train on saturday.. | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | felt mentally and physically drained for the whole of Fri and sat so gave WL a miss. sumos 180x1 197.5x1 212.5x1 PB! machine rows 42.5x8 42.5x8 42.5x8 massive pb today! not gonna lie, it wasn't the prettiest rep I've ever done but it went up nonetheless! the constant ache I've been having in my it bands has now progressed to it bands AND inner quads. lovely! | ||

Member 4145, 1331 posts SQ 172.5, BP 115, DL 220507.5 kgs @ 100.4kgs UnEq | bench 85x2 95x1 102.5x1 110xf bas***d!! close though 110xf no way near! incline DB bench 22.5x12 22.5x12 pretty annoyed with the bench! strength just not there. got a video of it. did a lot of rolling on quads in preparation for tomorrow's squats. on a positive, my bench is definitely stronger than a couple of months ago as 110 wouldn't have even budged back then! | ||

 Member 4618, 93 posts SQ 205, BP 147.5, DL 265617.5 kgs @ 105kgs UnEq | Nice PB on the deadlift pal. Your snatch is a damn site better than mine, you really get under the bar. Keep up the hard work and the gains will come. | ||
