For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5 530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Cheers guys. My next target is 200kg. What do you think I should do to get to that? Carry doing heavy sets of 2-3 reps like above or shall I go back to 165kg x 5 reps type thing?

Maybe 165 x 5 x 3 170 x 5 x 3 175 x 3 x 3 180 x 3 x 3 200 x 1 By the way I write my figures the other way from you - weight x reps x sets.

Puts me at trying for a 1 x 200kg on 30th July. Suits me. OK I better get eating As for how to write out weight sets and reps, is that the way most do it? I swear I've seen them written in almost every combination.

Some people avoid the sets altogether by putting 150 x 5, 5, 5. Or some people do it like this: 150 x 5 150 x 5 150 x 5 This last method is a sure fire way to wind up Tokar who gets really wound up that people don't use the most efficient approach.

So perhaps I could improve on its windupability quotient by making my notes like this:- 150kg 5 reps 2mins rest in between 150kg 5 reps 2mins rest in between 150kg 5 reps 2mins rest in between

I swear I've seen them written in almost every combination. i write it like i would read it or discuss my session with someone because it makes it quicker to see in a glance. Some people prefer to write it in a way that is incomprehendable for a fast glance just for historical reasons.

For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5 530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Joking aside, I think I'll stick to the 150 x 5,5,5 notation as that's pretty difficult to misinterpret. Tusday 26th June Gentle 5km run, 5:40/km pace. No more running until Sunday (10km race at Saujon) and after that I'll restrict myself to running once per week, most likely the day after deadlifting giving myself plenty of room between running and squats some 3-4 days later. Obviously my focus is now on PL with a mild attempt at staying vaguely CV fit too. We'll see!

For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5 530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Wednesday 27th June Bench: 51 x 6, 61 x 5, 86 x 5,5,5,5,5. 4mins rest between. Dips: BW+10kg x 8,8,8. 2mins rest between. DB standing shoulder press: 22 x 8,8,8. 3mins rest between. push downs: 28 x 8,8,8. 2mins rest between. Again happy with that, adding 1kg/week to my bench at the moment, also added 1kg to my dips. Don't know how long this will last but obviously going with it while it does. 87 x 5 x 5 next week all being well. As an aside, I was press-ganged last night to join the local football team for next season. So that's my cardio sorted out! Thursday nights training and Sunday afternoon matches, starting September. Might even be fun

For Kettle, For Country! Member 81, 1706 posts SQ 182.5, BP 120, DL 227.5 530.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq	Sunday 1st July 10km race today. Conditions perfect and course pretty flat, felt relatively relaxed going round (not sure that's a good thing!) but not sure what time I did. Fluffed my own timing and when I got past the line I didn't see their own clock. However, my wife says it was 52 something. I will get back to this with a link to the website once they have the official results up. Until then I can only hope that it actually was 52 something and not 55 something! OK that's the end of 10km races for this year. I'm going to go running once per week from now on just to keep my fitness up - perhaps between dead and bench day to keep it away from squats.

memories , like the corners of my mind .... Member 49, 2298 posts SQ 200, BP 132.5, DL 220 552.5 kgs @ 123kgs UnEq	Seems like a good idea what you have with the running. Dont over do it tho as your back will suffer eventually if you are running after deadlifting. What are your immediate goals now??

Finding some boobs to stare at Yeah, I feel it in my back when I'm running, although this morning was fine. It's finding a time where I can get a run in and not affect my lifting. After deads means it won't directly affect those, and also means it's at least 3-4 days away from Squats. Dunno. Goals though. I've got a date with a 200kg deadlift at the end of this month. End of year I want to be 180/120/220. I think that's doable if I carry on eating well, sleeping well and keep injury free.
