 I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | My pecs are still pumped/swollen to the point where I have trouble washing under my arms in the shower. Man, I haven't felt like this since... well, since the last time I was doing 8s actually  . | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Friday 18th July, Adlington Power clean + push press bar x some 40x5 + 1 press 50x5 + 1 60x5 + 1 70x5 + 1 80x5 + 1 Alan says he wants to see me do a backoff set with straps. 60x5 These were a bit better by the end. Box squat to a parallel box bw x some 20x5 65x3 95x2 120x2 120x2 120x2 120x2 120x2 120x2 Speed Bench 20x20 70x3 80x3 90x3 100x3 110x3 120x3 long pauses this set only 110x3 100x3 These last few sets were done as circuits with the last two movements below. 90x3 80x3 70x3 Superman Rows 50x8 100x8 150x8 Kneeling pulley crunches 35x10 (did this first set standing, as "situps" 35x10 35x10 Y'know, sometimes I miss my Yates/Mentzer f**k-all-volume days . Another very pleasing session today.Pete deadlifted well, so did Joni, Val had some technical tweaks on her deadlift and did very well under pressure, and Andy squatted like a rampaging motherf**ker (250x3 then 220x5 on a whippy bar in just (very) loose wraps at under 100kg...). | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Monday 21st July, Adlington Squat in the Z-suit 20x5 65x5 then straps up for 110x5 then belt and wraps for 140x5 170x5 complimentary things are said 190x5 equal PB, good and solid 160x5 nice crisp fast backoff Both Alan and Joe tell me that pretty much every rep here was essentially perfect, which is nice to hear . They felt that way too. Damn but fives are a lot of work though.Pulls from blocks at 18" (1" higher than I've used for the last year) 60x5 100x3 140x3 180x3 210x3 PB (from any height) 230x1 PB best block pull without the suit, only I think the fourth time I've pulled 500+ from any height. Piss easy. Definitely a better height for me to pull from in terms of working with heavy weights, which is why I'm doing block work. Deadlift 60x3 100x3 140x1 180x1 180x1 180x1 This one was VERY tired, so it's just as well it was the last scheduled one. Very pleasing session indeed . Joe squatted superbly and Jeff was a monster. | ||

 a cynical old scrote Member 68, 6845 posts SQ 255, BP 132.5, DL 250637.5 kgs @ 110kgs UnEq | Another solid session Rick, squats are superb nowadays, proven by the praise from Alan and Joe. 200 x5 must be on the cards pretty soon, i want to see it!!!! Please?!?!? | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | The plan is same time same place same channel next week for 200x5 Jeff. Alan said, probably rightly, that I could have done it today (even after the 190!) but frankly my heart would not have been in it at that point. The plan calls for it next time, and it will be done!! Probably going 70x5 115x5 145x5 175x5 200x5 dropdown - at least that's my current thinking. | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | Wednesday 23rd July, Adlington Hot and sticky and freshly-painted. Week two of 8s. Bench 20x20 20x20 20x20 50x8 70x8 90x8 110x8 120x8 130x8 PB easy enough to pause the last one again . This is an all-time PB, not just scheme-best.to 3 boards: 145x3 forgot my wraps again for this set. 155x3 165x3 175x3 PB my main problem with these is I'm afraid of them. Hey ho. Back to chest: 115x13 PB Incline Smith Bench 60x8 70x8 misloaded (only put the 10 on one side) 75x8 still misloaded, you can't tell on the smith, did notice it felt easy 85x8 finally noticed Superman Rows (in lbs) 50x8 100x8 150x8 No snatches, my lower back's fried. Alan tells me he wants 135x8 next week (actually he did say 137.5 for 303, but then backed off it thank f**k ). Won't be pausing the last rep on THAT... | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10035 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | It definitely is, Martin! Jrepp, my focus this time isn't on a raw peak really as about the time I would be peaking normally is the NWC bench - equipped - which is obviously my focus. I will peak to a single, but not with maximum intensity, if you see what I mean. I'd like to see an improvement on my current best, picking numbers is not a game I can play at this point . | ||
