06/02/16 - Saturday

Felt s**t today from a hard week and going to the gym straight from a 10 1/2 hour shift, so just did some light push press and a bunch of arm work

Push press
60kg x 3
70kg x 3
80kg x 5,5,5
80kg x 8 - think this is a 1 rep PB, not bad considering how knackered I was

Close grip pause bench
60kg x 4,4
80kg x 2
95kg x 7 PB
95kg x 7
95kg x 7/8 - lost count during set, so not sure if 7 or 8. Was a grinder last rep though!

Pushdowns
120lbs x 12
150lbs x 10
180lbs x 8,8
Actually tend to feel these a lot in my chest, not really sure what tricep iso to go with at the mo

Chin-ups
Bodyweight x 10,10
Easy, would have added weight if I'd had my dip belt with me

Preacher curls
25kg x 10
35kg x 5,5,5

DB curls
20kg's x 12,12

Time to rest, feel worn out atm

08/02/16 - Monday

Deadlift
70kg x 3,3
100kg x 3
130kg x 3
150kg x 3
170kg x 3
190kg x 5,5 - big PB, new 5RM and I did two sets! Plus the plates I were using were slightly smaller than normal so this was like a .5" deficit deadlift, max has to be 220kg+ right now Happy

Rack pull (height around 19-20", slightly lower than last time)
120kg x 3
170kg x 3
210kg x 3
240kg x 3
265kg x 1 - felt very heavy!! Tbf I think it's the heaviest weight I've ever moved in any shape or form
Regret doing these, didn't feel I gained much from them and it might hamper my recovery for squats in two days :/

T-bar rows
25kg x 10
50kg x 10
70kg x 10
85kg x 10 PB
95kg x 8 PB

Lat pulldown
130lbs x 10
150lbs x 10
165lbs x 8,8 PB

DB preacher curls
10kg x 10 each arm
14kg x 7 each arm
14kg x 6 each arm
14kg x 6 each arm
These seem to be a lot easier with my right arm :/

Bar for a couple of sets
40kg x 5
50kg x 3
60kg x 3
70kg x 3
75kg x 3,3,3,3,3,3

Very happy, only ever done 1 set of 3 with 75kg before today. Plus back was in bits from yesterday's deadlifts, so there's definitely more there fresh. Was beat after this so just did a bunch of isolation work for shoulders to finish off

Upright rows 4x8-10
Lateral raises 3x8
Facepulls 5x10-12
Reverse pec dec 3x10-12

Training is going great, feeling unstoppable atm. Think I'm gonna enter Rotherham's strongest man U105 as well, the weights are very heavy for me but I'm hoping that'll help me keep my focus in training

Lower back/core was still in bits from Saturday so decided to do some squat variations instead to lighten the load on the bar

Pause squat (about a 2 count pause)
60kg x 5
80kg x 5
100kg x 3
120kg x 3
140kg x 3
155kg x 3 PB

100kg x 5
110kg x 5
120kg x 5 PB

Lying leg curls
100lbs x 10

Another confidence building session today, hit some nice PBs and they were all comfy with at least 1 rep in the tank. Think I'll skip deadlifts for this week's back day and replace them with squats to get one last heavy squat workout in before comp a week on Saturday.

Said I was going to swap deads with squats today but I couldn't resist the urge to pull! Didn't want to do anything too heavy though so capped it at 180.

100kg x 4
120kg x 2

150kg x 6
190kg x 5

Confident now that I'll be able to pull 300kg for reps from 21", these all felt very easy even after high rep pulls from the floor

Chin-ups
BW x 5
+10kg x 5
+20kg x 5
+25kg x 4 PB but wasn't very happy with this, wanted 5

T-bar rows

Underhand lat pulldown
190lbs x 6
190lbs x 7
