....not a bad session considering ive got a cold coming on and cant inhale deeply much oh well got some work in roll on BENCH tomorrow!!!

that 260 you have on the deads looks in danger?

you just going to build up on the reps and not max out for a while?

Exactly i feel on a good day when im fresh and in the zone i could prob pull 270-280kg in a belt but the technique would sadly be hitched & slow speed so im just going for low reps for awhile and work on improving my pulling speed

This is my plan also but I'll be hitting up to 5 reps on the top weight and the. Dropping down for max reps at say 30kgs lower than that max

Good luck with the plan.

Cheers , goodluck to you also .....we'll get there just takes practice & patience

More superb pressing, your grip work is also very impressive.

Thanks mate, im totally hooked on grip work at the moment (i suppose the reason being because i want to climb up the captains of crush gripper ladder)

Good luck with that. A strong grip is something that really impresses me, as mine is so poor.
