Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Monday training Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 145kg x 5 145kg x 5 145kg x 5 145kg x 5 145kg x 5 Leg Curls pin10 x 10 x 2 sets pin9 x 10 Planks 60secs x 2 Stretching Good squatting today, though it was quite hard towards the end. Pleased with this, hopefully 150 will go in a few weeks time. After squatting sat in a a full squat position. Doing this for any length of time (15-20 secs) is hard, even without weights! | ||

Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Friday Deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 6 100kg x 3 140kg x 3 175kg x 6 DB Rows 100lb x 10 x 3 Pulldowns 2 x 8 Incline sit ups 2 x 20 Low energy plus a niggle in my lower back caused bar spped crapness, so gave up on deads. Feel a bit knackered generally today. | ||

As of this morning I was 92.8kg so this is good lifting for me. | ||

Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Wednesday Squat (to 12.5" box as depth check) 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 4 130kg x 4 155kg x 4 155kg x 4 155kg x 4 155kg x 4 Lrg Curls pin10 x 10 x 3 sets Planks bwt x 60 secs x 2 Stretching. Good session, despite the strangeness of sets of 4. It was hard though no doubt about it. A few months training at this intensity and my squat should improve quite a bit. weight this morning 91.8kg | ||

 bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Nice set on the 5 with 110.....that's my aim on my next 5's week. What's with the failed 5's though on squats ?  | ||

Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Cheers Mike, bench going well, though mine is not paused like yours is. I'm hoping to match my old PBs at a higher weight. Like the comment about 4s being failed 5s. Actually, it just struck me a couple of days ago to do 5x5, 4x4, then 3x3 on successive weeks for squat putting up the weight 10kg at a time. so 165 for triples next time. That sound awfully heavy to me atm but we shall see. | ||

Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Friday Bench 20kg x 10 60kg x 3 85kg x 3 95kg x 3 105kg x 3 115kg x 3 Incline 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 80kg x 5 90kg x 5 Pressdowns pin12 x 12 x 4 sets Bench not bad. PB triple is 117.5 so not far off. I think 90kg might be the most I've lifted on incline-ever! Bit of a cheap PB really considering how infrequently I lift it. Twanged something in my right trap does not feel good. Hope it is ok for Deadlift on Sunday, Weight this morning 91.5kg | ||

Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Sunday deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 145kg x 3 185kg x 7 DB Rows 100lb x 10 110lb x 10 120lb x 10 Pulldowns 80kg x 8 x 3 sets Incline sit ups 2 x 20 OK session, deadlift still not feeling particularly fluent, but better than last weeks effort. Deadlift is currently going the least well of the 3 lifts. Several possible reasons for this. 1. Squatting for higher reps is taking a lot out of me, particularly in the lower back. 2. I am not training with enough intent. Today I did not feel at all 'fired up' this seems to matter in the morning sessions when training is the first thing I do. I need an intermediate between my last 2 sets, i.e should have gone 140-165-185 today. Whatever the reason next week I want 5@195. weight this morning 91.8kg | ||

Member 541, 4889 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Tuesday Bench Press 20kg x 8 60kg x 8 82.5kg x 8 102.5kg x 8 (= PB) Incline Press 60kg x 8 75kg x 8 80kg x 7 Various bicep/Tricep exrcises Abysmal bar path on the top set but still made 8 reps on the top set, which equals my best ever set for 8 reps. Result! As a result of this incline press was poor. | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Nice work lately Bill, especially considering the weight loss, should be on for PBs at your next comp. | ||

I certainly hope so Mike, but for the minute I want to push the gym weights as much as possible Thursday Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 3 165kg x 3 165kg x 3 165kg x 3 Leg Curls pin10 x 10 x 3 Planks x 2 Stretching. Well chuffed with today's squatting, especially as I forgot my squat shoes. Each of the top 3 sets was hard, but just doable. Don't think they would have been easier in other footwear. | ||
