Background

22 yo, been training inconsistently and half arsedly for about three years. Never stuck to the same programme for longer than about three weeks tops. I competed once about two years ago in the GBPF NW Push/Pull and hit a 105kg bench and a 215kg deadlift at about 87kg bw. I'd like to compete again in either strongman or powerlifting, but I need to get significantly stronger before then.

I now weigh around 80-85kg depending on the day and when I last took a s**t.

Goals

Squat - 212.5kg
Bench - 130kg
Push Press - 130kg
Powerclean - 120kg
Deadlift - 255kg
Strict Press - 100kg

All @ u90kg bw.

With dissertation due in soon and uni exams on the way, four days a week in the gym isn't going to continue being realistic. 2-3 days is more likely. I'll have to figure something out.

80 x 8
96 x 6 = PR!

Deadlift

Up to 180 x 3
190 x 1
200 x 1 = PR!

Deficit

160 x 2
130 x 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2

Push press

Up to 100 x 1 = PR!
110 x fail. Nowhere near

Dips

+12kg x 3,3,3,3,3,3

Just a quick workout. Didn't want to do too much volume or grinding.

Bench:

70 kg x 10,8
80 kg x 5,7
90 kg x 5,4,3
100 kg x 2 = PR!
105 kg x 1
110 kg x 1 = PR!!
100 kg x 2,2,2,2,2,2,2

Squats:

70 kg x 3
90 kg x 3
100 kg x 3
110 kg x 2

Very happy with the bench PR. Had to dump the first attempt at 155kg after I couldn't even make it out the hole. Decided to strip the bar and jump back up. Second attempt was a grinder but it went.
