24Kg KB Swings x 25,25

Decent session. Shoulder held up ok, but could feel it tweak slightly nearer the top end so stopped increasing weight then. Happy with the way it all went tho, hopefully it is ok tomorrow and then get me a CGBP Pb next week, 140+ would be splendid

Doing very well all-around, I see!
Congrats on the squat PB

Plenty of graft there mate nice work

Cheers mate, all seems to be going quite well at the moment.
Squat Pbs are very nice as normally squat is the lift I have major troubles with

Cheers paddy, thought i'd better get some work in and actually train a bit more for strength instead of faffing about

Nice close grip benching mate but have to say it's the rows I've got my eye on. 140 and above is pretty damn awesome in my book.

Cheers mate. Yeah rowing isn't too bad. Have done 140+ in the past for 5, but using straps, this time no straps

15Kg Ball Slams x 25,25
Think after all the weight used in deadlifts this was easy, the 25 reps on both sets were rapid, may up the reps after deadlifts

Good session, happy with the pb but also the 237s went really well, still progressing which is good

Tons of work mate, I like those clusters, I may give those a pop strong beltless deads matey

It's the way forward. Try with an axle as well that's a grip killer.

Wow that deadlift session was awesome, that raw PB is a thing of beauty.

Cheers Ox, I like those clusters, they are tough as its 90% of the daily max. Still pondering whether to add another set of them or wait till I can do 2 lots of 5 reps on clusters.
Yeah the beltless deads have really come on, whats nice is each pull is clean and solid, not a hitch in sight which is nice.

It is, need to sort grip out. Don't have an axle, but somewhere in my garage is my fat grips, may alternate with those each week


T'was a good session I have to admit, loved it, was buzzing after getting the 262.5 . Hoping to pass my belted 270 beltless in the near future
