Thanks! Gunna be working hard on grip now, I've neglected it for too long

Today

Warmup:
jump steps 3x12 superset with squat jumps 3x5
Back extensions 2x12 superset with dumbbell swings 5kg 2x12

Squat (still no belt)
Bar x 10
60kg x 7
90kg x 5
120kg x 5
150kg x 5 PB
170kg 2 sets of 4 PB
180kg x 3 PB - felt so much better than last time
190kg x 1 PB - more there as well
Making little improvements every time on this, gunna keep the belt off until I hit at least 200kg. Having said that, a 220kg beltless squat would be really nice

Box squat
100kg x 8
Add belt (did enough beltless work already)
150kg 4 sets of 5

Box jumps to 20"
20kg x 6
45kg 4 sets of 5 PB
60kg x 3 PB
70kg x 3 PB

Romanian deadlift (pause at the bottom)
60kg x 8
Add straps
80kg x 8
95kg 5 sets of 6
Light weight but still got the desired effect. Back is feeling good, can tell there is a big deadlift in me somewhere

Standing barbell calf raise
100kg x 10
Add belt
145kg 5 sets of 6
100kg x 25

Think Im gonna try & train chest twice a week from now, probably focus more on incline as well as I seem to be able to progress better than flat
