Post Edited: 13.04.2016 @ 00:15 AM by Floobler Planned on taking today as a rest day but with the week off work i was feeling extremely bored! Got a solid 8 hours sleep last night & a couple of hours nap this afternoon so felt well rested and headed to the gymSquat 60kg x 4 90kg x 3 110kg x 3 130kg x 2 150kg x 1 165kg 5x5 This felt very comfy, legs are strongest theyve ever been no doubt Leg press 150kg x 10 220kg x 10 260kg x 8 300kg x 8 - think this was +3 reps on last week Lying leg curls 100lbs x 12 120lbs x 10 130lbs x 8 140lbs x 8 145lbs x 7 Calf press 150kg 4 sets of 10 reps 100kg x 12 Then a nice mile & a half walk home to finish, all uphill  Very confident a big PB is there on the squat but dont really have to desire right now to max out in the gym. Think a better goal would be to triple my current max, will attempt either next week or the week after. So happy with how training is going recently, bodyweight is up to 92.5kg im pretty sure that has something to do with it. The goal is to slowly work up to around 110kg over the next couple of years to fill out the U105kg class. | |||

| Today Pause bench 60 2x5 80x5 90x2 100x1 110 5x5 Pause incline bench 60x5 80x5 90x5 90x5 90x9 Floor press 60x10 70x10 80x10 90x10 My bench seems to have a sticking point right in the middle, hoping these will help DB flies (slight incline) 15's 2x12 Was gonna call it a day here but felt like getting a bit more practice with the DB Circus DB press 15 x 3 reps each arm 25 x 3 reps each arm 35 x 3 reps each arm 45 x 3 reps each arm - this was a PB with the left 48 x fail with the left 48 x 3 with the right 55 x 1 with the right - very easy, could rep 60 x fail with the right Fairly happy, if I can get the DB set right on the shoulder the press is no problem. The 60kg was just too big to get set right, was actually really close though anyway. The collars weigh about 0.9 kg each as well, so technically failed with 61.8kg just can't be bothered calling it that lol | |||

| » Paused squat weight vs regular (Go to post) | 01-04-2016 @ 00:12 | ||
| Did 155kg x 5 two weeks ago paused, 175kg x 5 this week regular squats. So about 20kg or just over 10% drop | |||

Post Edited: 30.03.2016 @ 00:36 AM by Floobler The plan during yesterday's squat session was to hit 165kg for sets of 5. I knew it was going to be a challenge because the best I've ever done is 1 set of 5. Got 5 reps the first set, was pretty tough and I wasn't sure I was going to hit another. Busted out the camera and grinded out another five reps, was my absolute limit. Left it there relatively content to have hit one more set than last time. Was watching the footage back tonight, counted the plates up and I realised it was actually 175kg! I think if I'd have known that before the sets I would never have hit 5 reps. Just goes to show the power of the mind, and the limitations we can put in our own heads | |||
