| exam times so still on a weird routine. squatted 142 yesterday for 2 triples then 140 for 2 triples did some good mornings with 70kg for sets of ten then went home. i'll bench next when i get the chance. weights felt heavier. got a feeling the bar in the other gym i trained in is underweight | |||

| not been updating the log but still training over christmas times. notable lifts: 140kg squat for 4x3, benched 85 for a bunch of triples and 90 for fast singles also pulled 200 easier than last months 190. tried 220 and missed it but i think there was enough in the tank for a 210. will max squat and bench tomorrow then end the cycle there to study a bit more then start a new cycle. | |||

Post Edited: 14.12.2016 @ 15:32 PM by NavM felt strong going into this one60kg x 5 100kg x 3 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 160kg x 1 all felt super fast 180kg x 1 felt like a peanut 190kg x 1 Match PR, felt harder than 180 but easier than 187.5 last month 200kg x 0, missed it right at the last parts of lockout. I think I could have stuck with it a tiny bit longer but didnt wanna risk it. still near enough 12.5kg jump from last months max. rows 60kg x 5,5 70kg x 3 80kg 3x3 pullups 3x8 bodyweight. maxing front squat and maybe some overhead stuff for fun on friday. new cycle soon Using maxes of 165/100/197.5 I used 162.5kg for my squat cycle and the volume and weights were just right so i'll increase by 2.5kg even though I squatted 160 for my top single. 100kg for bench 197.5kg for deadlift. 187.5kg is the max i used this cycle but 190 felt decent and 200 was almost there. I'll adjust this max if it seems too heavy but should be cool. | |||

| Squat: - Monday regular squats and fronts and pause on friday. - tight belt - pushing head back before starting the lift - spending time to stretch hips out the day before lifting and doing 3rd world squat wherever possible. - One legged leg presses seem to be adding something cool to the training since I'm weak unilaterally. - Keep pushing the good mornings for sets of 10 after Monday squats. Bench: - Removing pressups from warmup. - Benching twice a week, with close grip on the second day. - using thick band on bench to stop slipping. - getting the feeling of tight lats as soon as the bar is unracked - pause every rep. - skullcrusher hurts elbow so new exercise needed for triceps. Deadlift: -Belt needs to be one notch looser than for squat and bench. -Keep pushing the conventionals. -Keep increasing shrug weight for a bunch of triples. -The front squats seem to be helping out with the deadlift too. | |||

| 60kg x 5 100kg x 3 120kg x 1 140kg x 1 150kg x 1 still hurts and feels just off when my belt goes on since i tightened it. 150kg x 1 without belt felt fine. turns out i need the belt extra tight for squats but having the lever open will do for deads. decided to adjust it one notch looser though. 150kg x 3 150kg 3x5 was meant to be 4x5 but the first set got broken up a little 112.5kg 6x3 conventional deadlift 100kg 3x8 pendlay row 62.5kg 3x10 shrugs 140 for a bunch of 4s then 100kg for a few 8s | |||
