Im going to start hammering my bench between now and comp day, bit optimistic but I want 100kg by then. My body weight seems to be dropping nicely though. | ||

Not as bad as I expected it to be. Not so keen on the idea of squatting it yet though. Squats are my new favourite lift. | ||

Should be smashing 95 soon. | ||

Member 4905, 74 posts SQ 162.5, BP 92.5, DL 210465.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq | Last nights squats Built up to 140kg paused 5x5 115kg high bar Shoulder press 5x5 45kg Hoping that only having one heavy low bar session a week will allow my posterior chain to recover faster so I can start heavy deads again. | ||

Member 4905, 74 posts SQ 162.5, BP 92.5, DL 210465.0 kgs @ 66kgs UnEq | Yesterdays deadlift and bench Deadlift sumo 60x5 x2 100x5 120x3 140x1 160x1 180x1 probably a pb 200 fail Conventional deadlift 202.5 fail. s**t Back feels awful at the bottom, no strength off the floor at all. Stiff leg deadlift 60x5 100x5 120x5 140x10 Amazing how I can stiff leg 140 for 10 but cant get 200 off the floor anymore. Bench All paused warm up 77.5 x3 77.5 x3 77.5 x4 (had more but spotter took it off me after 3 so I lost all tension and couldnt reset properly. 3x10 narrow grip bench 62.5kg 3x5 flat dumbbell press 30kg Face pulls 1x5 20kg 3x10 16.5kg Bench is improving slowly, just trying not to neglect my assistance work for bench like I have done for ages. | ||
