Did the reps I needed on Close Grip. Very little difference between my close Grip and normal bench ATM. The rest felt ok. Chins are feeling good ATM, because I'm not pushing them too hard (87.0)

Nice to do pause squats again. Need a bit of time to get the feel of them back. Stiff leg deads felt a bit harder than I expected, but my hamstrings were still sore yesterday so I guess they weren't quite recovered. (87.0)

Glad I made 10 on the top set. I hope this is a sign of improvement, bench has been pitiful the last couple of months (86.9)

Well pleased to get the 10@130. It may not make a massive difference to my 1 rep max but at least the base is getting built. (87.6)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Wednesday Close Grip 20kg x 10 50kg x 5 70kg x 3 82.5kg x 5 x 2 sets 87.5kg x 3 x 3 sets 87.5kg x 7 (AMRAP) Chins bwt x 7 x 3 sets bwt x 6 x 2 sets DB Shoulder Press 17.5kg x 8 22.5kg x 8 27.5kg x 8 Rear lat machine pin6 x 10 pin7 x 10 pin6 x 10 This was a good session. Made a couple more reps on the last set of bench, which was positive. It also felt pretty good today, too. Chins were a bit wobbly, but meh! (87.0)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Thursday Pause Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 110kg x 3 120kg x 3 Deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 3 160kg x 1 175kg x 6 175kg x 6 Adductor machine pin5 x 15 x 3 sets This was a good workout. Paused squats I just wanted to get my body ready for heavier stuff. I think I could have gone higher, but my right leg/hip did not feel that great, so I left it for next time. Deads moved really well, although the 2nd set was a bit of a mess, with my grip starting to go a bit. (87.0)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Saturday Bench Press 20kg x 10 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 8 90kg x 5 x 4 sets Close Grip pullups bwt x 7 x 4 sets Incline 20kg x 10 50kg x 5 70kg x 6 x 3 sets Hanging leg raises 1 x 20 This was a good session. 8@90 is a definite improvement on the last time I lifted this weight. Bench starting to feel better. If only I can sort out my left arm (87.9)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Monday Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 130kg x 1 140kg x 5 140kg x 5 140kg x 5 SLDL 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 120kg x 5 130kg x 5 Step ups 20kg x 12 x 3 sets Plank x 1min 30 secs This was quite a good session. Squat didn't feel that fluent but still 3 x 5@140 isn't bad for this point in my training. Deads I stopped early as back was tired (87.3)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Wednesday Close Grip 20kg x 10 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 3 x 3 sets 95kg x 1 x 2 sets 95kg x 4 f5 Chins bwt x 7 x 4 sets DB Shoulder press 17.5kg x 8 22.5kg x 8 25kg x 8 Rear lat machine pin6 x 12 x 3 sets Was hoping for 5@95 on press, but just a bit short, inevitably. That was ok, though. It feels like I am making - slow - progress on bench. Left shoulder felt a bit iffy today, as it has for a few sessions. (87.1)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Thursday Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 135kg x 1 145kg x 5 Deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 2 170kg x 1 185kg x 5 Adductor machine pin5 x 15 pin6 x 15 pin7 x 15 Solid lifting on a day when I was not 100% sure if I was fully recovered. On both squat and deads these were 5 rep comeback PBs. (87.1)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Sunday Bench Press 20kg x 10 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 1 100kg x 1 105kg x 1 100kg x 3 100kg x 3 100kg x 2 Close Grip pull ups bwt x 8 x 4 sets Incline press 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 70kg x 5 75kg x 5 Bench is definitely lagging behind my other lifts atm. Didn't help I was feeling particularly lethargic today. 105 did not go up particularly quickly, so rather than try and grind up 110, I decided to do rep@100. This was a bit weak, but about as much as I could hope for atm (88.3)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Monday Squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 3 130kg x 1 (belt from here) 140kg x 1 150kg x 6 (post-lockdown pb) SLDL (beltless) 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 130kg x 5 x 3 sets Step ups 20kg x 12 x 3 sets Great session!! In squat warm up, my back was aching a bit, but this was gone by the time I got to my working set. Wanted 5, got 6. part of me wishes I'd put another 5kg on the bar. (87.6)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Wednesday Bench Press 20kg x 10 40kg x 5 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 1 100kg x 1 110kg x 1 (post-lockdown best) 110kg x 1 90kg x 8 Chins bwt x 8 x 4 sets DB Press 17.5kg x 8 22.5kg x 8 27.5kg x 8 Lat raises 12.5kg x 12 x 3 sets Rear lat machine pin6 x 12 x 2 sets DB Curls 15kg x 10 x 2 sets This was a reasonable session, considering I was out last night. Bench was a post-lockdown PB, though still fairly miserable. At least I did it twice, so might be a bit more there on another day. (87.7)

Member 541, 4894 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 27.08.2021 @ 15:18 PM by Billwest Friday Paused squat 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 3 130kg x 3 Deadlift 20kg x 10 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 2 160kg x 1 180kg x 1 190kg x 5 (post-lockdown PB) Adductor machine pin5 x 15 pin6 x 15 pin7 x 15 This was a good session. Paused squats were not that hard on the end, probably could have put another 10kg on that. Deadlifts were ok, not that fluent, but ok. (88.0) Coming out of lockdown in April I made a plan. In that plan I had the following targets Squat 160 (or equivalent) Bench 115 '' Deadlift 200 '' What I achieved was Squat 150 x 6 = 170-175 Bench 110 x 1 Deadlift 190 x 5 = 210-215 So squats and deads have been better than expected, while bench has been worse. By the end of the year my goals are ; Squat 160 x 5 or 180 Bench 105 x 5 0r 120 Deads 200 x 5 or 220 If I make those weights, I'll be pretty happy. Now I have 3 weeks holiday, the majority of which I won't train at all. I feel like I need a bit of a rest now
