Member 746, 731 posts SQ 180, BP 120, DL 222.5522.5 kgs @ 74kgs UnEq | Hope you’re sorted soon on the niggle front! I don’t “lift” anymore. Just enjoy getting in the gym and doing a bit of benching and doing a few pull ups. | ||

Member 541, 5304 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Monday Deadlift 60kg xx5 100kg x 5 140kg x 3 160kg x 2 175kg x 3 (cluster triple) 165kg x 5 x 3 sets Paused Squats 60kg x 3 100kg x 3 130kg x 4 120kg x 4 x 2 sets Bar Hangs 1min x 2 Front Planks 1 min x 2 This was a straightforward week 1 deadlift-focused session. A top set cluster triple moved ok, not fantastic. The 3 down sets moved ok. Paused Squats were OK. My left lower back not entirely comfortable today, but hopefully this is just a one-off. There was a missing hamstring exercise as all the machines were taken (90.8) | ||

Bench was straightforward, despite a bit of shoulder grumbling. Inclines were fine. Pull ups a bit harder. It was surprising the difference an extra 2.5kg makes. (90.5) | ||

Member 541, 5304 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Thursday Squat 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 140kg x 1 157.5kg x 1 135kg x 5 x 3 sets RDL 110kg x 8 100kg x 8 x 3 sets Left Extensions 40kg x 12 60kg x 12 x 2 sets Copenhagen Planks 3 x 15 secs each leg Side Planks 1 min each side Bar Hangs 1min x 2 This was a reasonable session considering I'd had a hard day teaching. Top single on squat could have been a bit faster, but the down sets gradually improved. RDLs were good and Extensions were actually quite hard. (90.7) | ||

However,my knees and lower back were feeling a bit sensitive today. Paused Squats were better, and I even got on the leg curl machine today. (90.4) | ||

Member 541, 5304 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Thursday Squat 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 140kg x 1 150kg x 1 130kg x 6 x 3 sets SLDL 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 5 x 3 sets Copenhagen Planks 3 x 15 secs each side Leg Extensions 40kg x 12 60kg x 12 x 2 sets Side Planks 1 min each side Bar hangs 1 min x 1 This was a bit harder than I'd hoped, especially top Squat single. It gradually improved though. Decided to bring back SLDLs, as RDLs have made my back a bit achey recently (90.2) | ||

A rep or so in reserve on top close grip followed by easy down sets. All fairly easy from that point. (90.8) | ||

Member 541, 5304 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Sunday Paused Squat 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 140kg x 1 120kg x 4 125kg x 4 130kg x 4 Deadlift 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 140kg x 3 160kg x 2 180kg x 1 190kg x 1 170kg x 6 x 3 sets Leg Curls machine 45kg x 12 54kg x 12 63kg x 12 Bar hangs 1 min x 2 Front Planks 1 min x 2 This all went fine except the single@190 which i snatched at and made a mess. The reason for this was that I was a bit nervous about my back, which was aching a bit. Other than that, everything was fine. Bar hangs even becoming slightly easier. (89.9) | ||

Member 541, 5304 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Tuesday Bench Press 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 70kg x 12 x 2 sets Incline Press 40kg x 5 50kg x 8 x 3 sets Incline flys 12.5kg x 10 x 3 sets Pull ups Bwt + 2.5kg x 6 x 3 sets Bwt x 6 x 2 sets Pendlay Rows 60kg x 8 x 4 sets Dip machine 60kg x 12 x 3 sets Reverse DB Curls 17.5kg x 10 x 3 sets The start of a new period of training for upper body. Most things were quite light. 12 rep sets for flat bench were still work though, and my 'side hussle' pull ups were still hard work. (90.0) | ||

Member 541, 5304 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq | Wednesday Squat 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 100kg x 3 120kg x 2 140kg x 5 x 2 sets 140 x 8 (AMRAP) SLDL 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 130kg x 3 145kg x 5 x 3 sets Copenhagen Planks 3 x 15 secs each side Leg Extensions 120 x 12 x 3 sets Side Planks 1 min each side Bar Hangs (thicker smoother bar) 1 x 1 min This was quite good, given some of the poor sessions I've had recently. Squat did feel hardish, so was pleased to hit 8 reps on the final set, despite a pain in my left calf. Everything else went smoothly. (90.0) | ||
