Took the trip over to lift with my mate as he was carrying out a sport form week, so again switched my lifting order around to fit in, very pleased overall.

Didn't have the bands to set-up, so went with the chains - jesus, these feel so much more natural and less punishing than bands!! very pleased with my work on these - form was tight, depth and speed good. Chain weight was approx 50kg...comments from the guys were that if anything my mid/ upper back was a weak spot.

Bench moved pretty well..could have perhaps 125 if I went for that from the outset. Deadlifts, got the top set I wanted - didn't have time for another as we had to get moving...shame, there was at least one more there!

These were right on the money tonight - I want to hit 200x3 - but took the sensible choice based on the past couple of sessions, there might have been another 2.5kg, happy overall. Down sets were nice.

Comp bench[x3@9]:

130kg @9.5 *PB*
122.5kg @8.5
122.5kg @8
122.5kg @8.5

Messed up a bit here - think I rushed my warm-ups or didn't do enough, so the 130s felt awful..then when I got to the down sets I should have gone to 125 really LOL. Never mind - learn the lesson for next time!

2ct deadlift[x2@9]:
(185x1)
205kg @8.5
210kg @9 *PB*
200kg @9

Session was dragging on now...largely due to my training partner being so slow, therefore I rushed through these in a total of less than 10 mins. Pleased with the 210, they felt pretty good!

Quick sesh tomorrow, then I am away in Edinburgh til Fri night, so will get a 3rd session in on Saturday!

Cheers mate! Felt strong tonight, little rough going in but loosened off once I got started. Looking forward to competing again in a few weeks.

I am a little unsure to be honest, my squats have been moving well - but the others are up and down. I guess something in the region of 225/140/260 would be nice - that'd be a 625 total and about 17.5kg PB...we'll see!

Looks like your making good progress at the minute Adam. You must be good for squat and deadlift PBs at least in two and a half weeks time.

Thanks bill. I am most confient with my squat, but think there could be small pbs on the other 2..we'll see how it pans out on the day! Hope your training is going well.

whilst on my mini break away, I noticed that when I have a protracted absence from lifting, my old back injury flares up big time...probably do do with the all day walking sessions and no stretching too..so my back was a little tender going into this - plus I was short on time. craic.

Ran out of time here, squats were down in about 5 mins lol - they felt awful until the 155..shame. Deadlift tech was a little messy today, but got the top set I wanted, so happy with that.

Pretty good session overall - PB on the squat...which showed with the quick drop off, was spent after the 190. Moved to bench - this was weird - I smoked 1 rep @132.5, but failed off the chest...then smoked everything else, getting better set by set - the last 125 was the best, I only stopped due to time!?

Final squats were pretty strong, felt odd not having the belt but got moving well - stopped after the first down set - strength was ok, but form got a little sloppy.

Overall my hips and knees are feeling a little rough, time to pay some more attention to recovery me-thinks!
