Got a day pass at a different gym today, just wanted to try it out

Chin-ups
BW x 5
BW x 5
+15kg x 5
+25kg x 5
+25kg x 5
+30kg x 4 PB of sorts, deffo a recent PB
Think I've done 30kg added for 5 reps but at the time I was around 85kg. Should be able to beat that soon anyway at 93kg+

Pullups (with rock climbing grippers)
BW x 8 PB

T-bar rows
40kg x 12
60kg x 10
75kg x 8
90kg x 8
105kg x 8 PB

DB rows
30kg x 10 each arm
40kg x 8
50kg x 6
60kg x 6 PB - this felt very easy
The dumbbells here went up to 75kg, so thought I'd give this a go seeing as I'm limited to 50kg at my current gym

Tried a set or 2 on a hammer strength row machine but didn't like the feel of it so left it there for back

Hammer curls
20kg's x 10
30kg's x 10
36kg's x 8
36kg's x 8

Spider curls w EZ-bar
5kg per side x 12
7.5kg per side x 8
7.5kg per side x 8
10kg per side x 5

Did a couple of reps on bench w 50kg to see if they were any good. Actually a lot better, didn't feel like I was gonna slide all over the place like I do at pure

Done. This gym is literally 10x better than where I'm at now. The changing rooms / showers are absolute s**te but I think it's a price I'm willing to pay, deffo going to swap over soon

Pause squat
60kg x 5
80kg x 4
100kg x 4
120kg x 3
140kg x 3
150kg x 3
160kg x 3
170kg x 3 PB
170kg x 3

Trapbar deadlift (touch & go reps)
80kg x 10
120kg x 8
150kg x 8
180kg x 6
210kg x 6
230kg x 6
It's a lot easier touch & go, not going to count these as PBs. Was just trying to be careful, doing slow controlled reps. Not really a fan though, back to dead stop next week. Might start pulling from the low handles as well

Lunges
60kg x 10 each leg
70kg x 10 - technically a PB
80kg x 12 PB
Didn't want to do anything else heavy, this was easy the only difficulty was conditioning. Set took bloody ages

Standing BB calf raises
100kg x 12
130kg x 10
150kg x 8
170kg x 8

Happy with today considering prep was awful. Couldn't sleep last night so did this on about 3-4 hours kip, back was bothering me as well but didn't re-aggravate it so I'm happy. Think I'll go for a 5x5 on 175kg on squats Monday, should be tough but I'm confident

665.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq
Bench press (T&G)
Bar x a few
60kg x 10
80kg x 10
90kg x 8
100kg x 8
110kg x 6
110kg x 6

Push press
50kg x 10
70kg x 10
80kg x 7 - failed 8th
90kg x 5 - failed 6th
These felt a little off today. Find high rep push presses really tough, shoulders get too pumped & breathing is difficult. Strength is better than today's numbers show

Hammer strength shoulder press
40kg x 10
60kg x 8
80kg x 6
90kg x 5
95kg x 4 PB - failed 5th, shoulders were fried at this point

Facepulls
120lbs x 12
120lbs x 12
120lbs x 12

Reverse pec dec
145lbs x 15
145lbs x 15
145lbs x 13

Decent pressing assistance session, lots of reps. Felt pretty fatigued so numbers weren't the best. Without all the reps on the ramp up sets though I think some PBs are there for the taking.

Yoke walk
125kg x 30m
185kg x 30m
245kg x 30m
275kg x 40m - technically a PB, normally I do runs of 30m

Calf raises

180kg x 7

Back extensions

+5kg x 10
+10kg x10
+10kg x 10

Wanted a 5x5 with 175kg today on squats but technique was starting to break down on last reps so dropped down to 170kg. Actually felt much easier, who knew 5kg would make such a difference? Yoke felt very sluggish today, had no speed / power left in legs after squats.

80kg x 8

Training went fantastic today, mainly because of my mindset & how I approached the session mentally. If I can keep this up then honestly I feel pretty unstoppable.

Good legs sesh today, hit what I wanted on squats but actually felt a little weaker than on Friday. Only had a couple days since the last leg session though so I guess that's to be expected. Not going to squat again till next Monday, hopefully will be a bit more recovered.

Neutral close grip pullups
BW x 6
BW x 6
+15kg x 6
+25kg x 5
+35kg x 4 PB
+35kg x 4
+35kg x 4
Tore a callous on my left hand doing this, normally I would just throw on straps but I realised I'd left them at home Angry

Trapbar deadlift (I'm assuming this bar weighs 20kg, could be wrong)
80kg x 5
110kg x 5
Swap to using high handles, used the low ones on first two sets but didn't feel right
150kg x 5
180kg x 5
210kg x 5
230kg x 5 PB
These went fairly well, grip was the limiting factor tbh. 235x5 will happen next week

T-bar rows
50kg x 10
70kg x 8
90kg x 6
105kg x 5
117.5kg x 5 PB

100kg x 12
120kg x 10
140kg x 10

Frame carry
100kg for approx 100m
Need to find a way to make this heavier... Maybe drape chains across it?

Decent back session today I guess, still can't quite push it 100%. Going to stick to trapbar deads for the time being, hopefully by the time I get back to regular deads I'll be stronger anyway by focusing on increasing my squat, rows & trapbar DL.
