Pretty average session today, still progress but feeling crap. I think due to little sleep and to the cold, struggling to warm up.

Squats - 75 sec rests

Bar x 20
75kg x 10
95kg x 5
105kg x 5
115kg x 3
125kg x 1
140kg x 1
92.5% 1 rm of 170kg
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1
157.5kg x 1 total rep/weight PB
150kg x 1
150kg x 1
80% 1rm of 170kg
136kg x 3
136kg x 3

Well they felt terrible today, form was off and i was in my oly shoes as they felt good for paused squats on tuesday but they seem to throw me off on these, switched to chucks for the light sets and they felt better. I think singles are getting too tough for squat/dead work, been on them a long time. Time for a change - maybe russian masters for squats and 14" deads on fridays from next week, i'll have a think. Pressing still going strong on singles so i will continue with them and probably also for paused squats on tuesdays as they still feel very good. Anyway got these done today but i need more work at a lighter weight for more reps and make them much snappier and natural. Not especially pleased with these. Beginning to really detest squats i just can't get them going right.

Reverse Band Deads - green band

125kg x 5
175kg x 3
225kg x 1
bands on
262.5kg x 1
262.5kg x 1
262.5kg x 1
262.5kg x 1
262.5kg x 1

Felt ok, head not in it for some reason. Easy enough.

Dimmel Deads

125kg x 5
145kg x 5
155kg x 5
165kg x 5
175kg x 5

Liked these, just trying them out again with a slower tempo, dropping to just under knees and focused on a big glute explosion to upright. Felt pretty nice and worked glutes/hams very hard.

Close Grip Dead Start Floor Press - 75 sec rests

75kg x 5
95kg x 5
105kg x 3
115kg x 1 feeling strong and quick, head finally back in the game.
94.5% 1rm of 140kg
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1

132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1
132.5kg x 1 total rep/weight PB
80% 1rm of 140kg
112.5kg x 4
112.5kg x 3

Feeling very good, finally got into the session, weight felt light in the hands and sets were fairly easy. PB was 2 singles at this weight prior to my 140kg PB so confident more there now. I reckon there were possibly a few more singles in there. Next week i'm looking for 135kg x 10-12 singles. Very pleased with these.

Log Row - 60 sec rests

105kg x 10
130kg x 5 PB
135kg x 3 PB
125kg x 4
125kg x 4
125kg x 4

Thats more like it, strong fast reps and easy PB there, feeling very good. Love log rowing!

Finished with shoulder re-hab some heavy sit ups and stretching and called it a day. Not awful but not great today, squat routine needs a re-think with lighter weights and more reps, russian masters will do i think. Anyway not a bad weeks training all in all.

Tell me about it Neil! Still i am progressing on the squats just not fast enough for my liking! More reps/less weight should get things moving.
Aching loads now so enough done tho! Ta mate Happy

Cheers Dom! I would tbh bud but doing all my squatting bare knees now ready for competition, i relyed on wraps for far too long, i NEED a 200kg deep bare knee squat asap! Then i need to build that. I think much of this is technique still, i'll get there!

Actually Dom, thinking about it, using the wraps and doing the full routine as you list it wouldn't be such a bad idea. The wraps would be like an overload set and i'd still be getting plenty of work in without for my raw comp.
Mmmm, i will have a think, very tempted actually, i just know RSR works but i think this could too!
