| Tonights training Flat BBBP 10 x bar only 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg 2 x 120 kg 2 x 120 kg 1 x 125 kg 1 x 120 kg 6 x 100 kg 5 x 100 kg 5 x 100 kg 5 x 100 kg Dips 5 x BW + 20 kg 5 x BW + 40 kg 5 x BW + 40 kg 5 x BW + 40 kg Incline BBBP 5 x 60 kg 5 x 80 kg 5 x 80 kg 5 x 80 kg 5 x 80 kg 5 x 80 kg The plan was to do a triple at 120 but there was just nothing there, I'm not sure my tri's have fully recovered from last weeks hammering. Just went through the motions after that, the dips were harder than normal too. | |||

| Tonights training Squats 10 x bar only 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg Belt on 1 x 140 kg (see below) 5 x 140 kg 3 x 160 kg 1 x 180 kg 5 x 140 kg 5 x 140 kg Belt off 10 x 100 kg Hyper Extensions 3 x 8 BW only Rope Crunches Stack x 100 (light machine) Nothing like deep enough on the 180 so no PB but it's given me confidence to go for it next time. Split my track suit bottoms when going down for the first rep at 140, had to borrow a pair from the gym owner. | |||

marc said: 40_plus said: some nice pb's why you trying to drop weight..make 90'sTodays training Squats 10 x bar only 5 x 60 kg 5 x 100 kg 5 x 140 kg 1 x 160 kg 5 x 140 kg Very disappointing. I had every intention of doing a triple at 160 then trying a 180 pb but there was just nothing there, even the 140 x 5 was very hard. Probably a combination of the hard week last week, training in the morning not the evening and also being on reduced calories to try and drop a few pounds before the comp. That's it mate, there's no need for me to be over 90 kg, I'm just carrying fat I don't need. I've only got to drop a couple of kg's though so no rush. | |||
