I never went over 95kg on bench, then i got to test my 1rm and hit a 140! I was like no way in hell is my bench even going to remain the same, let alone go up. You never know. | ||

That's the trouble of hitting AMRAPs when already fatigued I suppose! | ||

Comparing this with an absolute grind 140 x 3 just 4 weeks ago, things are definitely looking up. My left adductor was fine on squat and deads then spasmed immediately after. Don't know what's going on with it. (86.7) | ||

Was supposed to do 5 sets of 6@80kg but the last rep of the 4th set was a grinder, so I left it. Satisfied with that tho. Chins felt pretty good. (86.7) | ||

Finally starting to hit reasonable weights (for this stage of my training). I'm finding out about the importance of consistency again. Too much forward lean/knee travel here and there. SLDLs were pretty damn hard (87.7) | ||

Squats went pretty well today. There was no real danger of not making the reps. Deadlift, on the other hand, was rather harder. They felt heavy, and because it was still warm in the gym, my grip was a bit iffy. On the final rep of the last 2 sets my grip was on the verge of slipping. Anyway, I made the reps. (86.9) | ||

I'll try again n a few weeks. I'm sure it will go soon. (86.3) | ||

Par would have been 3 reps by my calculations, 4 was excellent. Best squat since before lockdown. Bring on deadlift on Thursday/Friday (86.6) | ||

Even though my deadlift best is 10kg up on 6 weeks ago, I don't feel particularly happy with it. Today my deadlifting @180 and @190 felt very slow. Oh well, could have been worse I guess. 4 more weeks till I get a 3 week break. (86.6) | ||

Member 541, 4890 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Saturday Bench Press 20kg x 10 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 75kg x 12 75kg x 8 x 4 sets Close grip pullups bwt x 6 x 5 sets Pressdowns pin10 x 12 pin11 x 12 x 2 sets Hanging leg raises 2 x 20 DB Curls 15kg x 10 (got bored) This was quite a good session. Lots of reps on bench, as this block i'm going to focus on hitting close grip heavier and standard bench reppier. Pull ups felt quite good today. (86.6) | ||

Member 541, 4890 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Monday Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 1 130kg x 6 130kg x 6 130kg x 6 130kg x 3 (f**k!) Deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 130kg x 2 150kg x 1 165kg x 6 165kg x 6 Step ups 20kg x 12 x 2 sets Was not impressed with today's squatting. It felt hard from the word go, and in the end, rather than grind out the last 3 reps of the final set, I just re-racked it. Deadlift was ok, surprisingly. Not massively quick off the floor, ass my legs were knackered, but they kept moving. (86.7) | ||

 Gonna outlive my opposition !! Member 123, 4038 posts SQ 202.5, BP 135.0, DL 232.5570.0 kgs @ 117kgs UnEq | Perhaps whilst squatting Bill, your mind was on the deadlifts that lay ahead! I really struggle to train squat and deadlift in the same session. | ||

I really struggle to train squat and deadlift in the same session. Yes, maybe. Funny, I expected deadlifts to be the lift I struggled on yesterday. With deadlifting in the same session as squatting, I find it actually helps to do some squatting first. Too much squatting usually has a negative effect on deads. Yesterday was too much! | ||
