Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Took me till my fourth day though. Got another in yesterday. Sunday 14th August 09:15 -- AM Session Oly squat Bar approx. 10kg and racked on dipping bars 30kg x 3 x 2 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 90kg x 3 100kg x 1 110kg x 1 120kg x 1 130kg x 1 136kg x 1 120kg x 10 PB All comfortable and got more reps on 120kg than I had expected. This will be an easy PB to break when I get back home too. Bench Approx. 10kg bar on unsafe rack 30kg x 6 50kg x 6 60kg x 6 66kg x 10 No spotters, no humans anywhere for many rooms in a row and a very unsafe rack meant I bottled it and took very easy weights. Should still go some way towards maintaining strength though. | ||

Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Last session in the make-shift gym in the Lisbon greenhouse. Tuesday 16th August 18:15 -- PM Session Oly squat 30kg x 5 x 2 50kg x 3 70kg x 3 90kg x 3 100kg x 1 110kg x 1 120kg x 1 130kg x 1 136kg x 1 140kg x 1 120kg x 2 126kg x 2 128kg x 2 130kg x 2 I was seriously overheating by the end of this. Decent enough to maintain strength. Bench, medium grip 30kg x 5 50kg x 3 60kg x 3 70kg x 3 Overheating. Going to hit training harder than ever when I get back to England. | ||

Both tops sets were grinds. Bench, medium grip Last rep of set paused 20kg x 5 40kg x 3 60kg x 3 x 2 70kg x 2 80kg x 1 90kg x 1 95kg x 1 100kg x 1 PB 102.5kg x f Touch and go 85kg x 3 90kg x 3 92.5kg x 2 Cool, this was a very easy paused bench PB. I should have got 102.5kg but my endurance today was lacking and I felt a bit shot after my first PB. I'll get this very soon I'm sure. | ||

Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Friday 19th August 08:00 -- AM Session Squat 20kg x 5 x 3 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 belt on 100kg x 2 120kg x 1 135kg x 5 150kg x 3 165kg x f Power just not there today after my holiday. Legs were sore too, which I'm just not used to now. Bit deconditioned but it should all come back very quickly. 13" Deadlift, hook grip 60kg x 3 80kg x 1 100kg x 1 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 180kg x 1 190kg x 1 PB Token PB, quite easy. 13" Deadlift, mixed grip 160kg x 3 170kg x 3 PB Another token PB, also easy. Will drive this up. Push press 20kg x 5 40kg x 3 50kg x 3 Worst this has ever felt but I was shot at this point: feel so out of shape its untrue. | ||

Bench, pinky on ring 20kg x 5 x 2 40kg x 3 60kg x 3 70kg x 3 80kg x 2 90kg x 1 97.5kg x 1 100kg x 1 85kg x 2 90kg x 2 92.5kg x 2 95kg x 2 PB 97.5kg x 1 Felt pretty solid today, especially the doubles.

Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Sunday 21st August 09:30 -- AM Session SSB squat 25kg x 5 x 2 45kg x 3 x 2 65kg x 3 85kg x 3 105kg x 2 belt on 125kg x 2 135kg x 1 145kg x 1 PB 152.5kg x 1 PB 132.5kg x 2 x 3 Skin under the high bar position is in bits again so had to improvise. This is the first time I've done these for a year so the PBs were fairly token but I'm still happy with that for a return to the movement. It certainly felt posterior chain dominant. Short session, practically a day off. Done. | ||

Member 2213, 300 posts SQ 235, BP 130, DL 215580.0 kgs @ 75kgs Eq | Monday 22nd August 08:00 -- AM Session Squat 20kg x 5 x 2 40kg x 3 x 2 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 belt on 100kg x 2 120kg x 5 135kg x 5 150kg x 3 Squat just not back to its best yet and the top set was tough -- another rep was not there. Deadlift, hook grip 60kg x 3 80kg x 3 100kg x 1 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 175kg x 1 185kg x 1 PB Would have been easier on a bar with decent knurl so I expect the next PB on this to be comfortable even though this was quite tough. Push press 20kg x 5 x 2 40kg x 3 x 2 50kg x 3 x 2 Felt awful again. I need to start doing some heavier overhead sessions and getting it back in gear. | ||
