Back was fine until today's training session. Diet was slacking over the festive period, but i'm finding it increasingly easy to pack away big meals in one sitting. Checked the weight today on SECA scales (working for NHS now) and it was 85.0kg after my shake. I was wearing jeans and a jumper though. I'm going over to your log now to have a nosey at your BW and training....

Training today after a pretty long day. Got PLENTY chalk too.

Deadlifts Grin

Super sexy sumo style!

60kg x 3
100kg x 3
140kg x 3
175kg x 3
187.5kg x 5 - up 2.5kg since last raw session. Had my belt on tight and was REALLY breathing hard between reps.

SLDL
155kg x 8,8 no belt, hook grip. Solid.

18" Rack pulls - all sumo and hook grip, holding onto the chrome centre
140kg x 3
180kg x 3
200kg x 2
220kg x 2 or 3. Grip felt solid, so I don't have to worry about it. Might add some more volume to deadlifts/SLDL or something instead of doing rack pulls as my grip seems much stronger than my back strength. Might use lower pins next time - 14"

Back went

Pendlay rows
55kg x 8
75kg x 8
95kg x 3-4, then gave up.

Biceps
90 on stack x 8
110 on stack x 8

VG Press
Bar x 3
45kg x 3
55kg x 3
62.5kg x 5,3 - 4th rep seemed to blast off the pins then stick when my triceps were supposed to kick in

Close grip pin
60kg x 3
75kg x 3
100kg x 2
120kg x 0 - fought with it but stuck halfway up

Regular bench - went off plan as there's no progress, so need to see where i'm at
100kg x 2
110kg x 1.5 - same as above

Side raise hold
12.5kg x 27 seconds. Form feels sloppy, elbows bent etc. Will try with a belt next time to see if that makes any difference

Side raises
12.5kg x 8

Palms facing dumbbell bench
30s x 5 - explosive
35s x 5
40s x 8 PR

Reverse grip pin press
60kg x 3
75kg x 3

Will come up with a new plan, might do standing strict press as my mainstay, sets of 5 to keep some volume in

45mins to walk home as some eejit burnt his house down right next to mine and the road was closed.
