 jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Forgot my towel today and it's boiling today, so it was a sweaty workout! Weigh in 99 kg on uni scales, so more like 101 in reality. Bench Press: 57.5 kg x 8 70 kg x 5 85 kg x 5 97.5 kg x 5 112.5 kg x 3 very nearly 4 =PB I was quite shocked to only get 3, but bench progress has been very slow at the moment. I am contemplating deloading something like this: Next week: 100 kg x 10 + 2 weeks: 105 kg x 7 + 3 weeks: 110 kg x 5 + 4 weeks: 112.5 kg x 5 Any thoughts from you beasts on here? Squats: 70 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 107.5 kg x 5 125 kg x 5 142.5 kg x 5 PB, last rep pretty damn hard Pendlay: 50 kg x 5 60 kg x 5 70 kg x 5 82.5 kg x 4 (failed rep 5) Chins: BW x 5 BW x 10 BW x 8 Hyper extensions: BW x 10 +15 kg x 10 +20 kg x 10 Hammer curls seated: 25 kg x 8 25 kg x 7 25 kg x 5 | ||

jerking is obviously great, Member 2521, 4719 posts SQ 235, BP 160, DL 290685.0 kgs @ 111kgs UnEq | Last weeks Friday session had to missed unfortunately. Bench Press: 57.5 kg x 8 70 kg x 5 85 kg x 5 97.5 kg x 5 112.5 kg x 4 PB Last rep of 112.5 was epically hard, the bar was stuck for a moment, and then i squirmed and my right foot lifted off the floor and was able to finish the rep. I think I pulled a muscle in the right oblique/ lower back area though, but it's not too bad. 5 reps next time! Squats: 70 kg x 5 90 kg x 5 110 kg x 5 125 kg x 5 145 kg x 5 PB Long deep breaths between the reps, easier than anticipated. 155 kg x 1 =PB but easier Will do 160+ on Friday Pendlay: 60 kg x 5 70 kg x 5 82.5 kg x 5 PB Wide grip pull ups: BW x 15 BW x 8 BW x 5 Dips: BW x 8 +20 kg x 8 (failed 9th) +20 kg x 7 Seated hammer curls: 25 kg x 8 25 kg x 5 Standing hammer curls: 20 kg x 8 | ||

 salad dodger *missing* Member 1805, 10367 posts SQ 215, BP 121, DL 240576.0 kgs @ 100kgs UnEq | Superb training mate. Are you the guy who was struggling to push press 80kg a couple of months ago? You training has really come on and I think 200x6kg Deadlift may give you more than 220kg but I could be wrong | ||
