Push session
Bench
2x100
105kg paused 3, 2, 2 - was meant to be 3x3 failed the 3rd reps on set 2&3 - default paused PB
Wide grip 95kgx6 - think a PB

Strict press
40kgx5
60kgx7 rep PB
2x70kg - felt weak, wanted 5s
5x60kg

Then did a few sets of 5s BTN strict and push press with 60kg. Never really do it but quite liked it.

Incline db 40kg - 7, 6, 5

Dips

Not a bad session but feel like I'm overtraining atm, doing everything 2x a week. Didn't feel strong this session anyway as I'm full of cold still. Gonna go back to the cube ish method soon as I feel that was working well and was enjoying it more.

Haven't looked in for a while, but everything looks to be going in the right direction!

Nice work on that squat PB. I'll have to get my finger out and move ahead of you again in a couple of weeks!

Cheers mate, really happy with squats at the moment. Putting the work in and it's paying off. My squat is 100x better than it was 3 months ago. I changed from low bar to high bar and they just clicked. Got so much more confidence with them. Deadlifts have taken a back seat for the time being, need to work a different theory with my bench as it's going nowhere. Have basically the same figures but I'm 30kg heavier lol. Not great!

High bar seems to work better for me too. Don't know if its something to do with bodyshape or something, it just feels so much better.

How many times a week are you benching?

Last 6 weeks or so I've been doing two days strength with all the lifts (max sets/reps 5x5, then two days 3x10 including isolation work. The only thing it's helped is squat but even then I don't do 3x10 on squat the second day. On the 3x10 isolation days I just feel weak.

I'm going to go with a 4 day split from next week chest/upper back, shoulders/tris, legs/lower back, bis/abs/cardio, 4 week rotation (4x10, 5x5, 3x3 paused, 1RM+1x10@80%), however add on speed work to strict press, squat & bench at the end of each workout. I enjoyed doing that too, couple of easier workouts.

Sounds complex!

I'd just squat a lot to improve your squat, bench a lot to improve your bench and get some back work in so your deadlift keeps up!

Plus the speed work you mentioned.
