Thursday's Session done Saturday at Fitness First due to illness"

Squats
  • 95K x 5
  • 115K x 5
  • 125K x 3
  • 130K x 3
  • 130K x 3
  • 130K x 2

Last set felt hard and I racked it after 2 reps as I didnt think I'd get the 3rd rep.

Deadlifts (using normal diameter plates)
  • 115K x 5
  • 145K x 5
  • 150K x 5
  • 155K x 5
  • 185K x 1

These all felt good.

Overall weights are down about 5-10% but thats to be expected as I have lost nearly 2.5KG in bodyweight due to being ill for most of the week. I am back eating normally now and back loading with creatine.

500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq		 Bench Session at Purbeck

Bench
  • 60K x 10
  • 70K x 5
  • 80K x 5
  • 82.5K x 5
  • 82.5K x 5
  • 82.5K x 5
  • 80K x 5
  • 70K x 9
  • 60K x 10 (wide)


Purbeck now has a dip station and pullup frame which slots into the squat rack, can't beat these exercises. Did 3 sets of dips (10reps) @ BW and some tricep pushdowns.

Overall pleased with the session, weights were down as expected due to last weeks illness but I am sure they will go back up rapidly.

500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq		Thursdays Purbeck Session

Squat
  • 95K x 5
  • 120K x 5
  • 130K x 3
  • 125K x 5
  • 127.5K x 5


Strength is coming back, need to be looking at repping 135 for 5 reps at least really. Still a good session

Bench
  • 60K x 10
  • 75K x 5
  • 80K x 6
  • 80K x 7
  • 80K x 6

Don't normally bench twice in 1 week, however this turned into a really good session. I have high hopes for my bench this year.

Deadlifts (using small diameter plates)
  • 147K x 5
  • 157K x 5
  • 167K x 5 - 5th failed
  • 167K x 1 - 30secs rest from the last set

Again strength is coming back, need another 5KG really at least.

Last lifting session in my 20s

95.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq		Great benching Paul!....95KG pause or touch and go?
Seems like the secret is to get a dose of the s**ts and go for a pb on the rebound!! Hmm Shall I try it?
Very well done mate you deserve it after the hard work you have put in.

All my bench training is touch and go unless stated, so its not really a PB as such, still pleased as 2months ago 95K would have burried me regardless of how I attempted it.

Just joined BDFPA, so may well enter their southern counties divisional on Feb 17th (was speaking to Paul Rees about it last night). I need another 10K on my total to qualify for the drug free British.

I am driving my back and legs much more into the lift and its really helping. I have also narrowed my grip a touch too.

I would like to see 100K competition paused by the end of the year, that would be good I think.

710.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq		Great I'll see you down there on the 17th? How are you getting down? I am debating either dragging the missed down or it'll have to be a bnb, as although it's not far no trains get me there on time.

Funny the train companies assuming nobody travels before 12 on sundays!!!
