SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5
570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq		Friday 4th May.

I've been lifting long enough to know that bad sessions happen and that the best thing to do is just get over it. Tonight was one of those bad sessions, absolutely no idea why, that said I did have a whole load of random pains all evening, shoulder, neck, knee, chest!
Weighed in at 118.30kg.

Squat.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 70
4 x 100
3 x 125
3 x 137.5
3 x 147.5
1 x 157.5 Should have been 3x.
1 x 167.5 Should have been 3x.
1 x 175
This should have been trebles all the way to 167 however it was never on, the 175 single was thrown in because I felt sh*t about not doing the trebles! Should have closed with 3x140 but after un-racking and stepping back I knew they were just not there - quitter!

Bench.
15 x 20
8 x 60
6 x 80
4 x 100
2 x 110
1 x 117.5
2 x 1 x 125 Failed both, just no drive off chest.
2 x 3 x 100 Close Grip
Should have included a single at 127.5 and a 6x100 but just power in shoulders.

So sh*t session, i'll have an easy one on Monday and get back on it by Wednesday.

570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq		Monday 7th May.

Very hot at the Farm and fairly deserted, just Kev, Tom and me playing.
Weighed in at 118.8kg.

After Fridays debacle I tweaked tonight's session somewhat.

Squats.
2 x 5 x 20
5 x 70
4 x 100
3 x 120
3 x 135
3 x 150
2 x 160
1 x 167.5
1 x 175
1 x 180
Felt heavy but no real problems, perhaps Friday was a blip!

Bench.
15 x 20
8 x 60
6 x 80
5 x 100
5 x 3 x 110
Left it here, wanted a few more sets but everyone else had departed, music was off, temperature was soaring and I felt that I needed a cold beer more than I needed several more sets!

570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq		Wednesday 9th May.

Very busy at the Farm tonight, 11 lifters!
Still working off Friday nights disaster so decided on single deadlifts and paused bench.
Weighed in at 118.6kg.

Deadlift.
My last session suggested that a single at 110 was available to me so:-
2 x 5 x 70
5 x 110
3 x 140
2 x 160
1 x 180
1 x 200
1 x 210
2 x 180
4 x 160
No problems, their might have been 212.5 or even 215 but certainly no more.
The book was about right.

Bench.
15 x 20
8 x 60
6 x 80
4 x 100
1 x 110 Paused under command.
1 x 115 Paused under command.
1 x 120 Paused under command.
3 x 110
6 x 100
2 x 4 x 100 Close Grip.
My bench seems to have suffered more than squats & deadlift. That said it would appear that Friday was just one of those tired days we all get now and then.

Back to the plan on Friday.

I'll be competing at the All England in a couple of weeks, however i'll be using it as a good training session. Lifting unopposed so the plan is to take one, maybe two squats, would have liked a pop at the regional bench record which stands at 127.5 but I don't think i'll have a 130 in me, I might also have a pop at breaking my own English deadlift record of 225kg.
