Wednesday 10th May: 3866 kcal, 374 g carbs, 151 g fats, 278 g protein

Todays session!

70 kg x 5
85 kg x 5
90 kg x 5

First time I've failed a rep in about a month on squats, so shouldn't complain too much. Only one more squat session before I put training on hold for exams, would be nice to hit 170 x 5, and 190 x 1 afterwards.

Today's session:

Close grip bench:

55 kg x 5
70 kg x 5
85 kg x 5
92.5 kg x 5

102.5 kg x 3 fail 4

Felt really weak today

Normal grip bench:

100 kg x don't ask

Was working in with a fairly big chinese guy (well big for a chinese guy I should say). He was doing 100,110,120 for sets of 6 with a 4 inch ROM. We discussed squats and deadlifts, he complains that he squats 150, but only deads 120. I made the suggestion that he wasn't squatting low enough, but I learnt that this bad for your knees! Silly me squatting so deep!

Squats:

70 kg x 5
100 kg x 5
122.5 kg x 5
145 kg x 5

170 kg x 4 fail 5 = PB

Closer than last time. As I was walking it out I came out too far and bumped against the back of the cage. At the top of the first rep I hit the cage also, so had to readjust which threw me off a little.

Pendlay Row:

50 kg x 5
70 kg x 5
80 kg x 5
85 kg x 5

Incline DB bench:

20 kg x 8
37.5 kg x 8
42.5 kg x 6 or 7 PB
42.5 kg x 5

Skullcrushers (narrow grip):

EZ+ 10 kg x 8
+20 kg x 8
+30 kg x 8
+35 kg x 6 f7

Pull ups:

BW x 5 (felt weak today so changed plan to max)
+10 kg x 5
+20 kg x 1 PB
+30 kg x fail

1 hour 50

Someone on the university rugby team left a training sheet in the gym the other day, I had a gander, I s**t you not the goals for 2012 were:

Sq 130
Bench 120
DL 120

@85
Is this real life?

A young fit male rugby player benching 120 but struggling to break the same weight from the ground just blew my mind

That is quite shocking. I would have thought that even if you only bench, you would have enough strength to deadlift it too Confused

I was benching 90 x 5 before I started (proper) squats and any form of deadlifts. I was still able to deadlift 100 first time.

Haha, thanks man.

Routine lately has been:

Monday: Bench up to a 5RM, squat up to a 5RM, 50 pull ups,

Weds: Strict press 2 sets of 3, Push Press up to a 3RM, Deadlift up to a 5RM, 50 pull ups

Fri: Same as Monday but with curls and Inclince Dumbbell Bench too


Squats have gone well lately (added 2.5 kg twice a week and got from 140 x 5, to 167.5 x 5 without stalling), but a lot of this is me sorting my form out.

Deadlifts too have gone well, my body type seems to favour pulling, and I thin my squat going up might have helped my deadlift a little?

Bench hasn't progressed for ages, I'm not massively bothered about that, but would be cool to have a proper bench (140). I'm planning to run Texas Method on that next week.

Strict Press, has gone well, it has progressed more than my bench oddly enough, but not going to complain Grin

Your welcome Happy

My bench needs to be a fair bit more than 120 kg if I am to get any respect at my uni gym! I don't want to be one of those guys with an "OK" squat and deadlift, but a poor bench. Got to be a good all rounder!

i personally think that the deadlift, and to a lesser extent the squat are way way cooler than the bench. id happily give up half of my bench and give the 60kg to my deadlift. biologically impossibly though so.....
