Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 09.03.2013 @ 21:53 PM by BThomson Legs Session: Squat - 3 x 8 @ 85kg Front Squat - 3 x 5 @ 75kg Leg Press - 3 x 10 @ 170kg Pretty good session, knee not giving me so much bother. Cardio going to be stepped up this coming week to make up for resting it this week.

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Press Workout: Bench Press - 3 x 10 @ 57.5kg Push Press - 2 @ 60kg, 2 x 4 @ 55kg Weighted Dips - 3 x 7 @ BW + 10kg Push press was a disaster, had planned 3 x 3 @ 60kg, wrists are just far too soft. Going to order some wrist wraps, take a few weeks off push press and focus on some supplementary exercises.

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Yesterday's Pull Session: Deadlifts - 5 x 5 @ 115kg Bent Row - 2 x 10 @ 67.5kg, 1 x 10 @ 70kg Seated Row - 3 x 10 @ 45kg Had planned to go 3 x 10 for the deadlifts but dropped the reps to try and get my technique sorted. Wasn't locking out my arms at the start of the lift.

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Legs Session: Squat - 2 x 5 @ 90kg, 1 x 5 @ 95kg Front Squat - 3 x 4 @ 72.5kg Leg Press - 3 x 10 @ 175kg No bother at all with the squats. Next time I re-test my 1 RM's is going to be interesting, squat should see a nice boost considering last measure was only 100kg.

Double BW F. Squat is still a way off but it would be awesome! Will test 1 RM's in the next few weeks. Reckon I could comfortably get 5 reps at my last max now so it should be interesting.

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5 402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq	Press Session: Bench Press - 3 x 6 @ 65kg Push Press - 10 @ 42.5kg, 10 @ 45kg, 10 @ 47.5kg Weighted Dips - 3 x 8 @ BW + 10kg First go at push press using the new wrist wraps and it was a total piece of cake. Didn't go heavy but will do next and I'm pretty confident now I don't have to worry about my wrists pussying out. Happy days.
