Deads - first set was a bit awkward but gave myself a mental wedgie and some chalk on the hands and second and third sets were much better... still need to work the form a bit but its feeling good... had some doms in the legs glutes and hams from tue still but went well enough... so good to be back doing these... I just like them... BOR - wow... first set felt good, released weight and back was ouchie... all the upper and mid back was saying nope... so of course I did 2 more sets... far out, these really hit the ticket this week... still sore now (course did more back work after this though)... really enjoyed the sets and was surprised it didnt feel worse than it did in terms of how heavy it was... or wasnt... Rev grip pd - surprised at these today, did not feel as heavy as expected (my rack attachment is horrible for these really but use it as extra resistance  ) and lats were fairly worked... third set I managed to get 11 although wanted 12, lats were saying nah shes all good brah... sore but good...Seated rows - wow... now these felt heavy today... fvcking upper back just caned and after 2nd and 3rd sets felt like vomiting a little... had the shakes something chronic too... all good fun though... great session and back hammered... feeling knackered in a good way but a little tired as in sleepy as last night was not a great night for sleep, mainly as it was a late night early start... could have done with a couple more hours really... still 5 hours is more than any man needs right... long day today too so very late in starting training, which always messes up my timing and stuff... work followed by kids stuff followed by last visit to the dogs trust to take the pooch for a walk and play then shopping as the mrs invited people over for a bbq ffs and then home to eat, train and now dinner... pick up the pooch tomorrow and looking forward to it... even if it means a cardio like activity... maybe I can drag a tyre and call it conditioning | ||

BP - warm ups felt off... 110 felt fvcking heavy tbh... thought 120 was a no go today... then I remembered I promised Dig I would just get my sh1t together and push hard... and by doing everything he said and has suggested I managed to get a good 5 reps out... not sure if I stopped as that was it or just wimped out tbh... 110 felt better and 102.5 felt good too... Spoto - holy hell, from set one these felt like they were spreading my chest a bit... hit right in the pecs and really well... pleased enough with these... Dips - hmmm again not so pleased with these even though I hit targets they didnt feel as good as they should have... first set was the worst tbh and then seem to really crack on... EZ curls - oh good grief... did not want to do this... first set was hard, second arms fell off and the third had to really dig deep to do it... still felt good and got it done... Lat raises - felt pretty good doing these today, delts def hit though and the last set I dont know how I managed that 11th rep... def felt them working for sure... def need sleep... early nights for me and next week will be able to get more sleep as the mrs is off to the states and means I wont have to be up as late to pick her up or up early to drop her off... food has been going in but weekend could have seen more tbh, still got at least three meals a day sat and sunday which I didnt expect as it was a busy weekend... will do what I can to up intake... Dog seems to be settling in really well... cat is not impressed by her and atm she wants to chase him a little but will prob settle down in a few weeks... I hope... so increase sleep, up food and train harder... | ||

Squats - @Dig youre a barsteward.... yep no two ways about it... you go puting xkg + you know I will push it a bit... aim was for 3 sets today 190kg+ 3x7... so I thought lets try 200... yeah first set at least and then go down to 190... first set went really well, sank them nicely and felt them working great... so left it at 200 and did the second set, again went well but man could feel my legs now and they were not best pleased... debated dropping it to 190 while resting, but managed to talk myself into the 3rd set of 200 for 7... what a pr1ck I am... yeah it went but ffs legs were done... made sure that depth was nailed this week as the weights are getting back up there... keep them sunk... hammy is holding up nicely... Paused 3ct - fvcking 3 ct Dig... really?? 170 actually went better than I expected, tbh I did not expect to hit the 5 of the 5+ I needed... got to 5 and it was tough but went for another and that was it though... 160 was to beat the 170 reps and I did that but tbh at this stage I was basically trying to stay up right and the sparkles in the eyes were getting silly... so I think I said 5 twice... counting it as 7 even so... legs were done done and I spent the next 10 mins trying not to throw up and then another 5 getting off the bench to do front squats... Fronts - supposed to start at 95+ for 7... so did 100 and that felt pretty good as it happened... short rest and went for the 90 for 7 and half way through my legs just starting seizing up... man I hate that feeling... managed to get the 7 reps though but called it there... missed the next 2 sets of fronts and 2 sets of ghr to see how the hammy is... actually a bit pleased at that tbh as still in the back of the mind I am thinking it might go or twinge again or something... after that took about 20 mins to get off the bench to walk to my front door... even now my legs are really sore and on that verge of cramping but not quite... think sleep tonight is going to be great... not... bw is now 114kg up .5kg since the weekend and food is being increased... in other news dog found a new hole in the fence and managed to get into the neighbours kitchen, luckily they are friends and good so she just brought her back and I fixed that hole and cant wait till she finds the next one... sigh... by the way my legs are fvcked... | ||

CGBP - didnt feel so good on the lower weights and was thinking aw maaaan... then around the 80kg mark it kicked in and voila felt really good... 110 was about right for a 6RM which was the target... then dropped the weight and needed 6+ on each set... did alright... wanted 9 on the last one but just couldnt manage it... tris got a good beating though... Incl BP - started firing on all cylinders and was looking for 9 or even 10 reps but on rep 7 came off line and it was a bit more of a struggle but got it ok, 8th then was more of a chore... next two sets were really good and my chest got a good caning... felt awesome... Flyes - oh yeah good stretch and felt my chest well... nice and strong on these... DB ext - just not feeling these as well as I should... elbows were really not happy about this exercise so I am either doing it wrong or my line is just not working so need to find a better one... did 2 reps and then left it there... DB preacher curls - oh good gravy... hit my bis hard and god they hurt... in a good way... nailed them well and was great sets... really happy about the session even though the db ext did not go well... gonna have to work this out as they are a good exercise... managed to put on 1.7kg since tuesday... not bad for 2 days... hopefully this is the start of a good period of growth and gains in terms of mass and strength... training is certainly feeling really good... Dog is settling in well but man she can fart like a freaking trooper... god she stinks... oh man I have to get out of here... | ||

Deads - was not sure about these today... body is sore from training and pushing this week... legs still stiff and sore from tue ffs... however just cracked on as need to make the most of current training cycle and food intake... first set was pretty good... but one of the reps my hammy felt a bit tight and gave me a moment... 2nd set I did anyway not letting it phase me too much... went just as well as the first and felt a bit quicker tbh... third was tougher... first 3 reps good 4th was ok here we go and 5th was rrrrriiiiigggghhht thats it... happy I did them and they felt great tbh... lower back got a good pump on for the first time in ages... BOR - oh good grief... first set felt hard... got the reps and felt it hit my upper back really well but still a bit difficult... 2nd set was actually a bit better... upper back not happy... 3rd was tough again and back was crying... not sweating cos they were tears... was pretty much done here... Seated rows - you said what weight now... ffs Dig... actually went pretty well... felt heavy enough but managed to get some good reps in and wow back got a good smacking... 145 went well... felt nice and strong and really good... 130 just powered through that... however it did take me a few mins to get my breath back and for the back to stop shaking... pump was awesome... PD - felt really good, as good as 80kg tbh reps were better and stronger too... lats got a good stretch... 82.5 again went really well and reps were banging... lats got a little sore here... last set I really pushed (or pulled ) the boat out and squeezed the last few reps out... 14 and 15 were tough... lats were cooked and tshirt was soaked...great week of training tbh, getting back up there and at last some weights going on the bar... body is feeling it though... the heat is a killer too... drinking a pint of water after every exercise atm and needing to... | ||

BP - was really on today... everything went well in the warm ups and then the top set felt really good... the final rep was tough but it still felt good and strong... 2nd set was even better... but the third set started really well then just got tough... chest got a great thumping though... Spoto - oh ffs this one really seems to spread the chest out and hit it hard... did a bit better than I expected and felt really good and strong doing it... Dips - yeah chest was done by these... first set went pretty well... next two sets not so much... chest was just on fire after these... breathing was achy... EZ curls - ok these werent fun... forearm was a little sore and this aggrevated it a bit... surprised myself on the first set... crapped out on the next two lol... arms were not too happy... Lat raises - first set went well enough and the second set felt good too, delts caned though... now sore all over... great session, sore session... now its sleepy time... but have to have some food first... | ||

Squats - warm ups felt good, all felt tight and form felt much better... in fact 180 and 200 felt really switched on... then put 215 on my back and it went really well too... got to rep 5 and was thinking theres 7 there easy... unfortunately that will teach me to be cocky as on the 6th either through lack of concentration and focus or just switching off I came up slow and went forward slightly so had to bring the bar back into line and that did it for me... left it there... so matched the reps with the next 2 sets... 205 felt pretty good and 195 was better... legs didnt like it though, called me all sorts of names so I told them Dig made me do it... 3ct - oh god yeah legs def not liking me today but they did feel good... kept really good form in the hole and drive up was good... felt right on the money tbh... did tingle in the legs though... FS - first set felt good and I was thinking this is like doing down sets... the first set lied... 2nd and 3rd sets fvcked me good... oh my legs... my sort of beautiful legs... by third set I was nearly crying... in fact on the 2nd set I believe my ar5e did touch the floor on one of the reps... GHR - seeing how the hamstring was with this... first set felt good... ham held up nicely and felt ok... second set it started feeling tight on rep 2 or 3 and I just did a good 5... left it there... oh wow training lately is kicking my rear a bit... legs are sore and tingling now and doms is already setting in again... Dig is really stepping things up and some how I am rising to meet that challenge... tbh I always look at his sessions and think "he must be laughing" but then get them done and its like he knew me better than me... w4nker... really worked on both legs doing the driving up this week as have been favouring the left one a little as this was the hammy that went... today was much better and felt the left working harder... yay... dog is good as when I go to train she just lies on the couch and has a snooze... looks up when I come in for a drink but stays there till I have finished... shes now part of the fam... started to bark softly at things outside the fence line, or people trying to get in the house, not aggressive more of a warning bark, read that this means she now thinks that this is home so shes just a bit protective, will keep an eye on that as dont want her to get out of hand... once we greet someone if its a person shes uber friendly... so far no sign of any allergy from me too... bonus... | ||

Incl BP - started off really good, locked shoulders down and back as found this really helps with the lift... got to 100 and it went pretty well but got to rep 5 and it felt tough... managed 6 though as prescribed and toyed with the idea of thinking about a 7th but I doubt it would have gone today... still a bit tired from mon chest session... 85 felt really good and nailed a good few reps there and 80 was great... chest was really hit hard today on this... CGBP - first set went ok but not quite as good as wanted... aim was 10 managed 9, set up was not optimal but corrected for 2nd set and got another 9 but it felt better... last set just managed the 8 but tris and chest were really feeling it...

Preacher db - oh holy hera... biceps got a beating on this today... cant believe I got the 14 on the first set was tough... 2nd set was as hard and only just got the 11... last set just was hell, 8 was ok on the right arm, well I say ok but I mean I managed it ok... left arm was a lot tougher though... 8 stalled a bit on the way up, was basically a fight to get it all the way... did it though... pain... so much pain... great workout today, had to do Bench 2 today and will do deads tomorrow as got a day of work, setting up for brits and driving to bristol on friday... so yay... then a night farting and snoring for the pleasure of @welshguy84 followed by a weekend of reffing... not lifting in this one as wont really be ready with the ham the way it is and where I am... got a fair few friends lifting though...my legs are so sore from yesterday and chest was only just getting over mon now I am smashed it again... bring it on... | ||

Deads - was not into this today, till the second warm up first was meh, second went really well, 170 went good and so did 210... 240 felt good but a little heavy... 255 first set nailed it... couldnt believe it tbh as was not thinking it would go so well at the start... 255 second set... damn... first 4 reps flew up nicely and 5th was tougher but went fine... really pleased I did it... pretty knackered too... SLDL - seeing how the hamstring went and it went well... in fact it felt a little tight during deads but after this felt better... back was getting some killer pumps though... BOR - noooooo 160 wow just managed the 8 feeling a little ill tbh... 140 went good but still hit me right in the upper back so nicely... 120 oh god is it finished yet sets went well reps were decent and back was not happy... job done...Rev grip pd - damn the first set was a bit heavier than I have done in a while... lats were not enjoying it but perversely I did lol... second set was just ffs... felt so fvcking tough, and tbh the last 2 bits of the r/p were done through an effort of will... good session, great session even, but man it was tough... hardest part was getting into the mindset... once in the gym though seemed to switch on and nail it... felt so good after too tbh, even though I fought throwing up till like 5 mins ago (roughly 1.5 hours after training)... tomorrow off to Bristol huge comp this weekend... so much to do... | ||

BP - felt so up for it today... warm ups felt awesome, 120 went up really well and felt like 100 used to but stronger... 130 well did not believe how well this went... first 3 reps was feeling really good, 4th was a bit slower but still good and 5th slowed right down but felt strong and now thinking back I think I should have gone for the 6th tbh... but happy with 5... felt it working and form is really starting to fire... Spoto - ok this really caned the chest... got a good 6 on the first and then had to match this for the next two sets... second set this didnt happen, on 4th rep I went off line quite a bit and had to bring it back it and was slow, 5th felt very slow and made me unsure for 6th... racked it there... 3rd set went no problems though and I made sure I kept the line... damn chest was hurting after... Dips - felt much better this week... nailed a good 7 on the first set but chest paid for it... 2nd set only managed the 7 but again felt it hitting hard which was good... Lat raises - first set went better than expected... second felt good and really pushed for 13 but was not to be... EZ curls - oh yeah... this week felt much better as well, good reps and felt the bis working hard... was hoping for a couple more reps on both sets but tbh was flagging by these... really pleased with todays workout... things starting to come into line and now to keep it progressing... feeling pretty good about training and the results I am getting... long may they continue... Long weekend helping out with the BPU Brit champs... had to lug the kit up from folkestone with the lads getting pulled along the m4 for being overweight (supposed to be 3.5 tonnes but was 5.2 ) set up and then weigh people in and ref both days... tbh was feeling a bit jaded before the lifting started but after reffing for a little while started to really see why we do it and go through all the sh1t to run these... the lifters... man what an amazing bunch of people...weight was 118.2kg on sunday on the comp scales... so weights going on nicely... food was not best tbh as just no time... changing that this week got a lot of good comments about my size over the weekend with one of the lifters being very surprised that my midsection is actually hard and not soft cos I look podgy lifters belly for the win baby... just got to keep the weights going up and size on a good increase... | ||

Squats - warm ups felt really good... even 190 with no belt felt fine and no problems... belt on and in an extra notch... 210 felt good... 225 was on the cards... even took a vid... sigh... 225 felt good, maybe one or two cut a little but felt in, however the vid is showing high by my looking... I really need to make a shelf or something to hold the phone at a good height and not on a slant... tried to use a few bits to raise it and level but as it turns out it didnt do much... still they felt alright as said... hams and glutes got a bit of a battering... quads didnt like me much after... then I had to do 200... sigh... actually these felt ok but so many reps... and on such a hot day... breathing became an issue, and have you ever breathed in sweat... ffs choking on your own sweat, now theres a death for the sun... Paused - jebus, legs already sore and had to do these... felt ok in the end... nice solid pause in the hole and drive up well... at least on the first set lol... second nice solid pause in the hole, 1st rep drive up well, 2nd rep just drive it up, 3rd rep come on drive it up... Fronts - weight felt light enough, need to get my form and technique working better though... elbows high through the whole movement... nice and deep these... was supposed to do a db leg curl thing but got a call from my son who was supposed to start work saying it was tomorrow not tonight so had to go get him... made him wait till I finished the front squats though... couldnt really justify the curls as well bit perplexed by the vid tbh... felt lower than the euros and got those in... maybe a stool or something like that to rest the phone on... perhaps I need a bigger gym... hmmm how to sell that to the mrs | ||

I mean the really runny kind that just p1sses you off... less than 4 hours broken sleep last night and then some other things this morning knocked me about and just was not feeling today at all... in fact I didnt want to adult today but had some things to do so just had to crack on... stupid adult... CGBP - well did not expect it to start so well tbh... warm ups felt really good, found a good position and managed to get into it each set... 100 just felt great, not heavy at all and strong... 115 was just the same really... first 4 flew up and felt great, 5th was a little slower and tbh before I might have stopped there but got another rep out... left it there though... then dropped the weight and managed a good 8 but 9 was not on the cards tbh... tris got a bit of a battering and form was much better this week... Incl BP - well... ffs as good as cg was this went to sh1t real quick, first set got under the bar, didnt get my mind into it and just went through the motions which showed as I only got 4 reps ffs... should have been at least 6... got severely p1ssed off at this stage and tbh was going to sack it but promised Dig I would push myself harder and thus got under the 85 and managed a good 11 reps... much better and felt really good, chest felt this one much better... Flyes - oh jebus... the difference 5kg makes... 30s felt heavy getting them into place, first 7 reps went pretty quick and felt good next 3 I pushed out with the 10th being a bit of a struggle... chest not happy... 25 felt hugely different and first 10 flew... not so much after this though lol... second 25 went about the same... EZ deadstop - def found a perfect position with my hands right in the middle and keeping elbows in and up... had no elbow issues at all and tris got nailed... just felt really good... Preacher - oh ffs... was done by now and already late to pick up my daughter... but knocked out the 2 final sets and ffs my biceps got a kicking... happy enough in the end and tbh I feel so much better after training... but really miffed at the first set of incl... just a matter of getting my sh1t together and nailing it properly... hoping to get some decent sleep tonight and then got deads tomorrow... and looking at it, it scares me a little lol... | ||

Deads - big lift today... was not sure it would go that well... warm ups to 250 felt good... 250 I felt my lat pull a little, just not tight enough and lack of focus on the pull... was thinking dammit... then a nice hot cup of mtfu and hit the first set of 270... damn skippy baby thats how its done... fast strong and really good reps... way better than 250... far better than hoped... second set same set up... BAM baby... got a 4th and contemplated a 5th but the lock out on 4th was a bit slow... left it at a good strong 4 reps... felt so much better... Def deads - man 2 inches seems like such a long way down... felt pretty decent, was hoping for 5 but again the 4th rep was a bit slower than I wanted... still felt strong and quick enough... Seated Rows - do not know where this came from tbh... felt good on the 160 but heavy, then just seemed to hit second wind... 150 flew up and felt so good, well till I let go the weigh then the back was just not happy lol... 140 same thing... strong as fvck and good... again back was screaming after... but good though... Rev BOR - thought these would be easy... yeah like hell lol... surprisingly tough... slammed my back into little pieces... so from not feeling up for it to an amazing session... best deads session for a long while... after I felt so much better and not as tired... sleep is pretty much a dream for me atm, well it would be if I slept to dream been trying to increase the food the last week but appetite has been up and down tbh... still got a bit more in... weigh in tomorrow... or sunday depending on memory lol... | ||

TL:DR Member 2858, 889 posts SQ 275, BP 155, DL 320750.0 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Lifting day Front squats WU 60x3, 80x3, 100x3, *belt on* 120x3, 140x3 160x2+1p 155x3 150x2 145x3 2ct paused front squats 105x3x3 DB leg curls 20x4 Leg curls on low cable attachment 20x5 hmmm mixed bag today FS - warm ups felt great 160 first 2 reps felt good but went a bit low on 1st as my rear pretty much hit the ground lol... didnt control that one at all... on the last I let my elbows dip and that was it couldnt complete the rep... 155 went much better felt good and tech/form better too... 150 oh ffs, got 2, went for last and dowww.wwwnnn I went... just really really slow, too far back and the weight pushed me over... went so easy that it didnt even make much of a noise on the safeties tbh... last set was better again as set up better... need to work on it tbh nail the technique and form better... 2ct FS - yep this felt weird... difficult too... but good... DB leg curls - something to try but tbh just not feeling it and the db doesnt sit in the feet right which makes it hard to keep a balanced lift... sacked it... Cable leg curl - ok this worked better but need to find a way to keep the attachment in the same place on the legs... got a bit fed up on the 150 fs set tbh, was just going to sack it all off and call it quits... but thankfully I took a second and remembered I need to pull finger and make sure I make each session work... that and I realised what happened on that last rep and had a wee laugh... well more of a smile really, ok a tiny smirk... but cracked on and in the end it went mostly ok... def got some tech and form issues I need to work on with the fs as well... got a good grip going but the thumbs will need to build a bit of callus to keep them not hurty... not bad for a deload day... | ||
