Error

Another error

And yet another

Had a days less rest than normal because I felt great. One set of deadlifts is a lot less taxing than many reps!

Squats no belt 145 x 5 x 5, equal pbs I believe

Bench

105 x 5
115 x 8 - PB
125 x 3ish - spotter grabbed the bar, might have had it, probably not
105 x 10 - PB

Machine rows 65 x 4 x 8

Curls / overhead db extensions

Good fun. Enjoying training still.

Been banging out the PB's mate, looking on good form!

One more week then it'd back to reps. Solid base of lots of reps leads to a few weeks of pbs. Back to reps soon once I stop having fun...

Squats, no belt 5 secs pause
80 x 2
100 x 1
115 x 1
130 x 1
145 x 1 - PB

No belt, normal

100 x 2
120 x 1
140 x 1
160 x 1 - beltless PB, should really do more without a belt

With belt

175 x 1
187.5 x 3 - PB

No belt, 5 secs pause

130 x 5 - PB

I feel ruined! Milking the pbs

Strict

70 x 3
60 x 10 - PB
50 x 12,9

Shoulder had real issues at this point. Tried incline bench, incline Dbs and incline Dbs with palms facing in - wasn't happening

Overhead tri extensions 16 x 4 x 10

Deadlifts

245 x 3 - PB

5 sec paused squats

135 x 5 - PB and more progress, think the pauses are too long for leg strength but helping me get into a decent position. Upper back rounded on the last 2 reps though.

Bent over rows

125 x 6,6
105 x 12,12

Curls

Squats, no belt
150 x 5,5,5

Row machine
67.5 x 8,8,8,8

Overhead DB extensions 18 x 10,10,8

Curls

Been having issues trouble getting to and then staying asleep. Weird dreams and a lot of sweating going on, normally a sign I need a break.

So...

Squats and paused squats up to 110

Stretching

Then an epic dinner consisting of garlic bread, homemade wedges, ribeye steak, spinach, roasted tomatoes & peppercorn sauce followed by strawberries and hasten dasz ice cream.

Few more meals like that, another light session or two and I'll be back to normal

Strict
60 x 5,5,5
50 x 12,10

Overhead DB extensions

A few more meals like that mate and you'll be fine! Looks damn good!

I'd literally die if I had that these days. Just had a stuffed crust asda 10in meat feast pizza and just about managed it! probably under 80kg in the mornings these days!
