| Been really busy at work so not training as much. Thursday 20th August 2015 Haven't trained chest in any way at all over a month in order to gain more mobility in my shoulders ! Fancied a bench press session and was surprised at how well it went ! Bench press 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 3 120kg x 3 135kg x 1 ( video ) 120kg x 5 100kg x 9 With a disgusting dropset straight away 80kg x 8 Seated shoulder press 6kg x 3 70kg x 3 75kg x 1 65kg x 6 60kg x8 Seated skull crusher 3x10 25kg Followed by plenty of shoulder mobility stretches ! For anyone trying to increase their bench press I'd suggest focusing more on shoulder and tricep strength ! I haven't trained chest in a month but done plenty of overhead work and my bench press has gone up from 130kg to 135kg ! Decided I'm going to chase that 140kg bench and be happy with that ! Body weight 83kg | |||

| Friday 14th August 2015 Haven't trained since Sunday, had swollen and painful knees, went to the doctors Wednesday and he said I had patella tracking disorder, my patella is facing outwards probably due to an overdeveloped quad pulling it outwards ! Been revered to hospital psychio but decided to start my own psyhio. Also been feeling a bit burnt out so taking Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off was a good idea .... 3 second pause close grip bench press 100kg 3x5 Seated military press 5x5 60kg Weighted chin up 5x5 25kg Weighted chin up 3x8 10kg | |||

| Wednesday 5/8/15 Squat clean - 100kg 3x3 ( needs work still ) Overhead squat - 40kg 3x3 Only just gained the mobility to overhead squat properly, stopped chest work ( bench pressing ) as oly lifting and overhead lifting is more important, spent some time doing hand snatches and catching the barbell in the bottom position ! Learning to snatch a barbell alone is quite difficult !! | |||
