This went a bit better than expected. Surprisingly, it was deadlift that went better, despite an achey back and a dodgy hamstring. Top set was about rpe 7, and the down sets were pish. Squat just doesn't feel right at the moment. I am in two minds about shaking things up to do a bit more volume. (90.4)

Thanks Martin, unfortunately it reflects my mood at present. Not particularly upbeat. I promise I'll do better😄

I was relatively recovered for this session, which made the slow speed of the topset a bit disappointing. However, everything else moved fairly well, so no point complaining (90.7)

That looks like one hell of a session Martin. Impressive volume on the down sets

This was a fairly easy session today, which was lucky as I had quite a few aches and pains beforehand. Mind you it is only week 1 of the block. Squat was reasonably fluent, as wete deadlifts, though I went a bit gentler on top set to avoid aggravating my hamstring. Job done. (90.4)

First lower body session of a new Squat and deadlift block. Still carrying some fatigue from a week that included a heavy Squat session and a heavy deadlift session and was split by a nasty cold. The top Squat set did not feel fantastic, bur all the down sets and deficit deads felt fairly easy, as they should. (90.5)

I get you. I didn't compete in 2024 and thought I may never compete again. But I'm trying to hang on to my form as I'm M4 next year. Happy


Competing at M4 is an excellent goal. I see no reason you shouldn't achieve it. 🙂

Pretty reasonable session in the circumstances. Still getting over the cold and for some reason my insides were feeling dodgy. Light squats felt OK. Deadlift I had to dig deep but I got tge reps, though my right hamstring felt like it had a bit of cramp on the top set. I'll have to watch that. (90.5)

I might do the masters classic at the end of June, depending on how my lifting is going. I've reached the stage now where unless my training is going well, I really don't see the point of competing.

This was a session with mixed success. Squat did not feel particularly good in warm-up, and the set@160 took absolutely everything. Therefore decided not to even try a fatigued single@175. Back offs were much lighter than I originally intended. Paused deads I was only going for 1 set, which was was hard-ish. (90.5)
