Cheers Dom, feeling battered now, the prospect of 10 singles on the floor press tomorrow is not good lol! I will get it done though!

Well session went ok but learnt a few things...

Coans Peaking for squats week 2

bar x 20
75kg x 5
75kg x 5
95kg x 5
95kg x 5
115kg x 10
115kg x 10

Blew my quads up like crazy considering piddly weights. One thing i have learned is i HATE reps lol! My form goes right off after about 5 reps. Went ok i guess but i'm goign to go back to what was working before xmas - 10 singles with 85% + increasing when all 10 singles are hit. I don't kno why i have messed with things really, my singles approach work and i am going back to it!

Paused Squats

110kg x 5
110kg x 5

Again felt ok, form better as only 5 reps but i just don't enjoy this form of training much.

14" Deads

125kg x 5
175kg x 3
225kg x 2
225kg x 2
225kg x 2
225kg x 2
225kg x 2
225kg x 2

Solid pulls but feel like i'm stalling out on them a bit, seen good progress on them since october but i think a change is in order again. Good pulls though and feeling fairly light today.

Close Grip Dead Stop Floor Press

75kg x 5
105kg x 3
115kg x 1
89.5% 1rm of 140kg
125kg x 2 ironically a PB
125kg x 2
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1
125kg x 1 TOTAL REP/WEIGHT PB

Thats more like it, much more fun and a big PB, only managed 10 with this weight before but i have hit 135kg x 10 singles. These felt light and quick and hitting 16 singles and 2 doubles was cake today, another 5 singles there i'd guess easy. Moving to 127.5kg next week. Pressing is feeling very strong.

Log Row

90kg x 10
95kg x 10
95kg x 6
105kg x 5
110kg x 3
115kg x 2 pb
120kg x 2 pb
125kg x 2 pb
130kg x 1 pb

These felt brilliant, huge PB's there for me, a 110kg single was my best i think. Considering doing 5-10 singles with these and a few rep sets to finish. Lats feel wasted from them.

Finished with lying L flyes, shoulder horns, dilocations and some ab roll outs.

Decent session but as Brock has said - too complicated. Singles is working so well with my pressing and it did with my squats and deads before too so changing back, only wasted a week and i guess its not wasted as i got work done. Hate chopping and changing but i have to enjoy what i do or i won't progress so routine from next week will be:

Monday - Press session as is

Tuesday - Deads Progression programme as is
18" Deads Progression programme as is
Speed Deads as is
High bar oly Squats - 5-10 singles
Close grip pull ups/other row/pulldown

Thursday - Press session as is

Friday - Squats - 10 singles
Deads - 5- 10 singles
Close Grip Dead Stop Floor Press - 10-20 singles/doubles
Log Row - 10 singles then 2 rep sets

Abs and mobility done following workouts as always. Singles work is going to be pushed to the limit to see where it can take me. I struggled with deads on them before but i will start light and work up to adapt, started too heavy last time i think.

Totally agree!

I actually think you have developed a system which could be put in a book and sold! I was really surprised when you said you where going to do a different program.

good work. i think if your singles thing works dont change it until you stall. its a great routine for powerlifting in theory. lol at the hate for the 10 rep squats, i mixed 2 diff coan cycles together to make a 12 week plan without any 10 rep weeks, just 2 weeks of 8 reps.

Cheers Dom, yeah i'm not messing around now staying with mutiple singles/doubles as i have been and focusing on keep upping the weight as soon as i get my desired total reps. I've stumbled on something that works well so need to just stay focused on it and notchange until needed. TBH i think if i rotate exercises and continually reset/swithch from singles to doubles on occasion it can work indefinately. Maybe i should write an ebook on it?!

Like the sound of your coan mix mate, even 8 reps seems like cardio to me these days lol!

Oddly i am massively sore today, rarely get sore but my lats from the max log rows have destroyed my back! The lying L flye seems to be healing my dodgy delt too, feels way better.

yeah an ebook is a good idea. prob better to wait til uv done a few more cycles building upto new pbs and testing the water with rotating doubles and singles around to see what works best.

8 reps was like cardio, i was knackered after 1st set lol

I think an ebook is a great idea. I think you have created a winning system.
