First day of 3x3! For those of you who aren't familiar with it:

http://www.deepsquatter.com/strength/archives/korte.htm

Squat
60x5, 90x5, 110x5x8

Bench Press
40x8, 70x6, 85x6x8

External Rotation
5sx10x2

Deadlift
60x5, 110x5, 147.5x5x8

Cable Crunch
49x15x3

Took about 2 hrs but with lots of talking and waiting for equipment. I think I could definitely get all the big 3 work done in an hour (which, after all, is all it's supposed to be). Got to do that twice more this week, but for now the program seems singularly unbrutal.

Didn't realise you did 8 sets on the squat and bench too, no wonder you were sweating like mad. Good luck with the program.

Cheers man. I really do always sweat like that. Unless I'm taking long rests, which I don't do very often. I'm always too hot.

So, Korte - it felt fairly easy yesterday but OHMIGOD THE SORENESS!!! My legs and traps are aching like never before.

Just noticed I'd put 100kg for squats when it was 110kg - corrected it now.

No surprises in today's session....

Squat
60x5, 90x5, 110x5x8

Bench Press
60x6, 75x3, 85x6x8

Deadlift
60x5, 110x5, 145x5x8

External Rotation
5sx10x2

Got it all done in a little over an hour - would probably have taken longer but wanted to see if I could do it. Still not hard as such but I feel pretty f**ked afterwards. Still, joints are holding up, lower back is sore but only in a muscular way - and the deadlifts are absolutely flying up. (Mind you, I guess they should be at that weight.)

No, this is just 8 weeks - so peak will be around the end of March, leaving me 4-5 weeks before the competition. Not ideal, but I wanted to give it a go, since other things just hadn't been working lately. Still no date up for the comp though....

to me that sounds ideal because you cant tell how you will fare on this routine. Some routines just dont deliver what it says on the tin Wink

Indeed. Ideally I would like 8 weeks spare before the comp, but I should be able to arrange things OK like this.

In my favourite Brussels gym...

Squat
60x5, 90x5, 110x5x8

Bench Press
70x6, 85x6x8

Deadlift
60x5, 100x5, 145x5x8

External Rotation
5sx10x2

Interesting how one lift is good one day, then another the next. Squats were a little laboured at first, but bench was excellent.

Squat
60x5, 100x5, 115x5x8

Bench Press
70x6, 90x6x8

Deadlift
60x5, 110x5, 150x5x8

External rotation

All pretty good, although slightly concerned about a right hip (not the one that gave me all the trouble) twinge, but it seems to have gone away again today.

Another very similar looking workout...

Squat
60x5, 90x5, 115x5x8

Bench Press
60x6, 75x3, 90x6x8

Deadlift
60x5, 110x5, 150x5x8

External Rotation
7sx12x2

Decline sit-up
+10x5, +15x5, +20x5

I'm wondering about where to go next with the bench press. I've started heavier than you're supposed to, and I'm not regretting that so far but I wonder whether it's realistic to go 85/90/95/100. Wouldn't say 90x6x8 is hard, but it's hard enough to make 100x6x8 three times in a week seem quite daunting. Which wouldn't bother me but for the fear of actually overtraining. At the moment I'm thinking 95 next week then maybe 97.5 the next.

I think that would be wise given you don't usually do many reps over 100, so like you say it could easily knacker you out (although the strength is obviously not an issue).
