That's fine benching Ian. Never mind about the deads mate, they come and go with no logic when you are going heavy. That's one of the reason's i am training lighter, because i can predict quite accurately what i am going to lift week in week out.

Wednesday 17th.

Weighed in at 117.25 Kilos.
Squatting on my own and benching with the Banker.

10 x 20
5 x 70
5 x 110
3 x 130
3 x 150
5 x 162.5 5x PB.
3 x 155
5 x 140
Squatting is going well at the moment but I had to con myself into the 5x PB. My schedule called for 3x160 but as my 5x PB was only 160 I thought "put the extra biscuit on each end and just do 3x, if it feels okay, try another couple whilst it's on your back. It felt okay. All were good and deep.

Front Squat.
5 x 20
3 x 70
1 x 100
1 x 130
I had intended to attempt a 150 PB but the 130 just felt bad tonight.

Bench.
20 x 20
10 x 70
8 x 90
6 x 100
4 x 110
2 x 115
4 x 110
6 x 100
It all felt heavy on the bench tonight.

The Banker was trying out his bench shirt again - very amusing. The Banker also set a new PB for loading the bar, he loaded 300k, unfortunately he did'nt lift it.
Happy Happy Happy

Cheers Bill,

Friday 19th.
Very quiet at the Farm tonight. The last thing that Malc and the Banker and Big Dave said to me on Wednesday was "See you on Friday", the lying Ba****ds. Deadlifts on my own and Benching with Kevin. Weighed in at 116.2K.

Deadlift
10 x 70
5 x 120
3 x 140
3 x 160
3 x 170
3 x 180
3 x 190
3 x 180
5 x 170
After my recent poor deadlift sessions I decided to bring the weight down and concentrate on technique. I have to say that the first 180's were so easy that a thought entered my head that a 3x202.5 would be a PB, however the 2nd and 3rd 190's convinced me not to bother.

Bench.
20 x 20
10 x 70
8 x 90
6 x 102.5
3 x 4 x 110 Actually only managed 3/4/4.
6 x 102.5
2 x 5 x 100 Close Grip.
I have to say that this all felt really heavy, in fact the 6th press of the second set of 102's was probably the toughest press that I have ever locked out. Arms were totally screwed afterwards.

In the Farm lift of the month event (Front Squat), Andy leads the way with 170, followed by Denis on 160 and me on 145.

I tried some single arm overhead dumbell snatch's, this evening and got up to 37.5K with both arms which I was happy with. Within minutes all the guy's were trying them thinking that I was getting some sneaky training in for Aprils lift of the month (they are mistaken).

Solid session Ian, you can't hit PBs every single session.

Still got the sh*ts then Malc? You must be down to 90K by now!

Monday 22nd.
Short session tonight as I'm off to the theatre later.
Weighed in at 117.5, not too bad considering the heavy weekend I had.
All sessions with the Banker and Snerpjo.

Squat.
10 x 20
5 x 70
5 x 110
3 x 135
3 x 155
5 x 165 5x PB
3 x 155
5 x 145
Pleased with this. This was another 3x session, the first 3 165's felt easy so again I tacked on a couple more for a 5x PB. I just need to get my best double up to 185 from 180 and triple up to 175 from 170 and the 200K squat is on.

Bench.
20 x 20
10 x 70
3 x 10 x 90
8 x 90 Close Grip.
Short bench session but pleased with the 3x10x90's.

Monday 29th March (yes it has taken 2 days to get round to posting this).

A full weekend of Chavness on the Essex/Suffolk border (Clacton & Felixstowe) left me very tired and hungover on Monday, so the session did not go as well as planned. Weighed in at 117.6K, not as bad as expected after the weekends food and ale consumption.

Squats.
10 x 20
5 x 70
5 x 120 Half squats to bench.
5 x 160 Half squats to bench.
5 x 180 Half squats to bench.
3 x 200 Half squats to bench. Should have been 5x.
1 x 210 Half squat to bench. Should have been 3x.
220 stand up from rack.
230 stand up from rack.
5 x 180 Half squats to bench.
The 220 and 230 were just about feeling the weight on my back for around 10 seconds, no attempt was made to step back out of the rack with them. Everything felt very heavy.

Bench.
20 x 20
10 x 70
5 x 100
3 x 110
2 x 120 Failed 2nd press by coming up under the rack!
1 x 125
1 x 127.5
1 x 130 Failed badly.
2 x 120 No problem this time.
2 x 5 x 100 Close Grip.

Very tired, went home.

It was heavy Bill, but it felt heavier than normal, probably due to tiredness after a long & boozy weekend.

Wednesday 31st March.

Weighed in at 116.6K.
Deadlifts with Snerpjo and benching with the gang.

Deadlift.
These were done with a shi**y old Oly bar as Malc and the Banker had beat me to the good deadlifting bars
10 x 70
5 x 120
3 x 160
1 x 180
1 x 200
1 x 212.5
2 x 195
3 x 185
5 x 175
Everything as planned. The 200 felt easy and so before the 212.5 I was considering another pop at a 225 PB, however, the 212 was not at all easy and so decided to stick to the plan (wisely I feel).

Bench.
20 x 20
10 x 70
5 x 100
2 x 110
1 x 120
1 x 130
5 x 105
2 x 5 x 100 Close Grip.
The 130 felt comfortable but I stuck to the plan (140 before the end of June).

All in all a good night, everything as planned and no failed lifts.
Snerpjo also had a good session, pulling 200 and pressing 105 for 2. He's starting to get a bit of strength back. The Banker did not have a good night however, he felt a twinge in his knee whilst doing some equipped squats, so spent the rest of the night looking at himself in the mirror and working on his lack of biceps.

Steady as she goes, a 212.5 dl and a 130 bench are pretty good going, mate.
