Goals for this 6 week program are a 130kg bench and 200kg squat. Near enough back where I was, just lighter bw.

122.5kg x fail
122.5kg x 1 very easy and smooth. Changed bench which made a big difference.

All fast and easy! Have gained strength! Wasn't expecting this until the 6th week.

Cheers dude. I feel good for a 130 bench and 200 squat but we will see.

I'm confident the routine is good. It's just I'm doing a load of mountain biking and lost a bit of weight whilst doing it so maybe I haven't given it the best chance to work.

Been ill for a week and didn't get to finish the deload off.

Squats

Failed 200 but 160 and 180 were pretty fast.

Went for a long rather intense bike ride yesterday so my legs were a bit jelly.

Bench

120kg x 1 left it here as that felt heavy. Not sure if the belt and wrist wraps help tbh.

Struggling for motivation with powerlifting right now, not because I failed that squat, but because it's such an intense endeavour which requires your complete focus if you want to do well. And right now I'm just not bothered enough.

I know in the not too distant future I will want to get strong again so I'm going to tick over with a bodybuilding split. Need something fresh.

DB Press

Plan is to get a little bit more jacked, lean and strong than I was. Starting carb backloading prep phase this weekend. Read the ebook and got the supplements. About a million times more expensive than I thought.

Lifting plan at the moment is to get a load of volume (in terms of singles) in for the big 3. Learn to snatch, clean and jerk. And do some regular resistance training. Sounds a bit much, but I'm not going to push myself too often.

Snatches


Still just form work on snatches. Getting better, I'll get to a point where I'm happy enough to add weight in a months time I think. Atm I find it's hard to remember all of the cues every rep.
