Back squat (ATG/beltless/high neck):

2x5x20kg, 2x5x60kg, 1x5x90kg, 1x5x110kg
2x5x120kg, 6x3x130kg glute mega sore by the end but got through it


Bench press (olympic bar/medium grip):

60kgx5, 80kgx5, 2x5x100kg, 6x3x110kg felt heavier than it should, pecs felt weak, previously done 6x6x110kg, the cause of it is dropping the high rep volume days, I'm bringing this back!

Snatch grip chest supported rows: 5x5x80kg high elevation
Snatch grip shrug rows: 1x15x80kg

Tues 14/05/13 was dreading pain from squats today, but worked out great as adjusted stance and foot positioning and fwd lean in such a way to keep most of the load on the right muscles = a lot less pain!

Back squat (ATG/narrow/low bar/olympic bar/beltless):

2x5x20kg, 2x5x60kg, 1x5x90kg, 1x3x110kg
2x5x135kg, 5x3x150kg only sore on last two sets!

Feet up bench press (olympic bar/medium grip):

2x10x20kg, 1x10x60kg, 1x10x80kg, 3x8x90kg
1 board presses: 2x8x100kg pecs weak as a bag of s**t

Snatch grip barbell rows: 4x8x80kg upper back weak as a bag of s**t

Great pressing volume. I know that's a light weight for you but that's a lot of reps.

2x10x20kg, 2x5x60kg, 1x5x100kg, 1x4x130kg,

A dogs**t of a workout, hope to pull this back neck week, I can't seem to do volume or anything really well in hot weather it seems.

Sat 25/05/13 another very hot day

Everything felt hard due to the heat, was supposed to be triples on bench but went safe with doubles, will keep upping the rep work on Tuesdays. Back a little stiff from physio yesterday, managed to find 'the' comfortable technique on last 2 sets and they were quicker.

As a physicist and powerlifter this article might interest you.

I found it when I was looking for deadlift stuff again.

Interesting but seems like common sense.

Phone has been off for two days, god damn blackberries never again!! dropped high neck squats, as at the moment it seems my spine/glute injury doesn't like it even though its far lighter than my low bar. Hard to explain but sacked it Saturday in favour of low neck and feels more recovered already, so it definitely likes low neck. Who knows might be able to resume deadlifts sooner than I think?

Tues 28/05/13

back squat (ATG/beltless/low neck):

2x5x20kg, 2x5x60kg, 1x5x90kg, 1x5x110kg, 1x4x130kg
1x4x150kg, 6x2x160kg core was dead after this, taught me how to stay very fookin tight! Grin legs and glutes are dead today which is good.

wide grip bench press:

2x10x60kg, 1x10x80kg, 2x8x100kg ran out of time, plan as always to up the reps each week with 100kg, need to beat what I did before best was 5x10

snatch grip rows: 2x8x80kg no time again, more to balance out the pressing

Good to see a nice session in there Ross. One where the muscles that should be are sore instead of the bits that shouldn't be.
