Cheers. I feel I have more in me though. Yeah I guess it is 24kg over my BW, I never even thought about that.

My brain is totally fried from my dissertation so I may struggle to remember what I did today. It consisted of a lot of random things.

Bench
Bar x loads
40kg x 10
60kg x 6
70kg x 3 (6 sets)

Tricep extension (each arm)
12.5kg x 10
15kg x 10
15kg x 10

Dips
BW x 5
BW x 5
+15kg x 5
+20kg x 5
+20kg x 5
+30kg x 3

Pull-ups
BW x 6 (3 sets)
BW x 4

'Morton' Push-downs
15kg x 8
17.5kg x 8
17.5kg x 8
15kg x 8

Pull-down Machine
70kg x 8
60kg x 6
60kg x 6


I think that was about it. I've probably missed a set or two or not counted enough reps but the general idea of todays session is there.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow for two reasons:

1) My dissertation will be finished (finally!) and
2) I will hopefully be going for a new PB in my squat. I'm thinking I should be able to equal my PB of 110kg so hopefully I'll go for 115kg or 120kg.

Good luck with the squat. Those are also really good dips you've got a strong chest.

Squats
Bar x loads
60kg x 6
80kg x 3
100kg x 1
120kg x 1 (Not quite deep enough)
120kg x 1 (Deeper but still not enough)
70kg x 8 (Practicing depth)

I'm not going to count the 120kg as a PB because it wasn't to full depth I don't think. I'll be putting up the videos hopefully today so you can see them. I'll give it another shot in a couple of weeks after working on my depth.

For the rest of the session I just did a couple of random things.

Leg Lunges
+36kg x 5 x 2

Stiff-leg deadlift
60kg x 5 x 2
80kg x 5 x 2

I doubt I'll be at the gym much next week, probably not until thursday.

Cheers. That one was my second attempt. It was just a shame it was too high, I don't think it was far off though.

Great session tonight and I had a lot of fun. I attempted push press for the first time. I wasn't the best at it but I'm sure I will improve. The supersets at the end really kill me!

I had a great session today getting a new squat PB, this time with good depth. Two weeks ago when I last tried it I was shy of the correct depth but after working on I think I've got it.

My lifts for today were:

Squat
Bar x Loads
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
90kg x 5
100kg x 3
110kg x 1 - Felt good (Previous PB)
120kg x 1 - A bit wobbly :S (PB)
100kg x 3
100kg x 3
90kg x 3


Decline Sit-ups
BW x 15
+5kg (on chest) x 15 (3 sets)


Standing Leg Raises
3 sets of 20


Bicep Curls

Dumbbell:

12.5kg (Each Arm) x 5
15kg (EA) x 8 (3 sets)

EZ bar:

30kg x 8

Overall it was another fun session and I'm really pleased that I got the 120kg Squat. The videos are uploading as I write this.

Todays session went as follows:

Bench

Bar x Loads
40kg x 8
60kg x 5
75kg x 3
85kg x 1 - was wanting to triple it but the first rep felt awful
80kg x 3 - failed the 4th rep
80kg x 3
75kg x 5
70kg x 5
65kg x 9 - was a fraction off the tenth rep (should hopefully get it next time)


Strict Press

Bar x Loads
40kg x 5
47.5kg x 5
47.5kg x 5
47.5kg x 5
50kg x 5
50kg x 4

Pull-Ups

BW x 8
BW x 8
BW x 8
BW x 6

Overall I'm quite happy with todays lifts. I'm a bit dissapointed with failing the 85kg triple but it'll come. I think I let the weight get in my head a little and thought that I couldn't do it.

I had quite a good day today. My deadlift form is a lot better than it was a month ago and as a result my lifts feel a lot better. I kept my form dead-on for the 140 triple so I'm happy about that.
