65% x 5 : 67.5kg x 5
75% x 5 : 77.5kg x 5
85% x 5+ : 87.5kg x 10 PB (2 rep improvement, Last PB on this was 87.5kg x8 2 weeks ago)

Overall nice session. Pleased with the Bench PB. For the weighted pullups I put my feet through the handles on the tricep bar which I can load with weight as I progress. I think it probably weighs between 5-10kg. Thats if I dont make a dipping belt!

70kg x6

65% x 5 : 112.5kg x5

Good session. Looking back at the deadlift video I think I could have managed atleast another rep or two but thats where you need someone there shouting at you! Still 1 rep better than the last cycle and it was 5kg heavier. Trying to break the belt in it was on the first hole and it was really awkward but just made do with it.

Theres no really any room to get them from the side thats why I done it from behind but if you must, next time I'll do them facing the camera and you can see my straining face. I suspect that will do more for your tummy than my arse though!

Do so. It's hard to get any action from the front and your not wearing skimpy enough shorts to get turned on enough froma a rear shot Tongue Although Boar may off?

Nice session there. Put my belt on for all working sets to try and get used to it. This is the first time really I've used it when squatting and it wasn't too bad. Was absolutely knackered by the end of the squatting. Here is a video of todays squatting.

Week 2 - Day 2
Bench

Bench :
20kg x12
20kg x14
40kg x12
60kg x5

70% x 3 : 72.5kg x 3
80% x 3 : 82.5kg x 3
80% x 3 : 92.5kg x 6

50kg + chains :

x10
x10
x10
x10
x9

Weighted Pullups (+7.5kg) : 5x5

Not bad I suppose although I wanted atleast 7 or 8 on 92.5kg. I tried it twice, I know I shouldnt have but let my breathe on out the 7th rep and lost it half way up. Second time I managed 6 again so can't really complain. Still a 1 rep improvement on 2 weeks ago when I last done this weight as my 95% x1+ set so still an improvement.

Figured no one wanted to see me dumping the 7th rep twice so havent bothered with a bench video.

Deadlift

Deadlift :
20kg x10
60kg x10
90kg x3 (conventional) x3 (Sumo?)

70% x 3 : 120kg x 3
80% x 3 : 137.5kg x 3
90% x 3+ : 155kg x 6

Video of 155kg x 6 :



Ps. Im facing the camera for Boar and possibly Iains overall enjoyment.

Pendlay Row :
20kg x10
40kg x10
65kg - 5x5

Chinups:
BW x 6
BW x 6
BW x 6
BW x 6
BW x 5

Really good session overall.

Dunno why but decided to try some sumo stance deadlifts. When I done 90kg x 3 it felt really easy and alot more natural than the conventional so tried these throughout my workout. All working sets where comfortable and I definately feel stronger doing them. Last time I done a comparable weight it was 152.5kg x 5 so 1 rep improvement and higher weight, cant complain! Didnt want to push it too much though with this as it was my first time using this stance.

Upped the weight on the Pendlay Rows and they all seemed easy enough, easier than last week on 62.5kg.

Managed more chins this week aswell.

mabie get a bit more flexible on the sumo so your not using your back quite so much , but many love sumo , kenders is a convert !!

500.0 kgs @ 84kgs UnEq		Boar : Thanks I guess... You think that increased flexibility will stop me stiff legging it?

Iain : Ta, I know I can see that but I think overall its improving and it definately feels more natural and dosent look horrible. The depth is an ongoing thing!
