Back with a lighter day

Bench: 80 x 5, 90 x 3, 80 x 5

Dips: 20 x 10, BW x 2 x 10. The weighted ones really don't feel nice.

LTE: 37.5 x  3 x 8

EZC: 37.5 x 10, 30 x 3 x 8. Time to start getting serious about curls. Gonna run a bit of a linear progression down to 5s.

19th & 20th

Planned to have a light bench session on Saturday, but by Friday night I was feeling fresh so I hit             93.5 x 5 x 5 which was fairly comfortable
Incline: 75 x 5, 70 x 5, 65 x 5
Skull Crushers: 30 x 3 x 8 (mad pump and made doms)
Laterala: 8 x 3 x 12

Today I squatted 147.5 x 2 x 5, 145 x 5, 140 x 5 and shrugged 195 x 10, 180 x 8, 140 x 12.

16th & 17th of Jan

2 days ago I benched 92.5 x 5 x 5 and didn't do much else because I was feeling a bit flat. I'll go light next bench session too; it's been a while since I had a deload.

Yesterday I squatted 140 x 5,145 x 5, 142.5 x 5, 145 x 5. Squats haven't felt better in a long, long time.

BB Rows: 70 x 3 x 5. I'm gonna run a cycle of these. I flirted with them for a while but I'm gonna hit them hard for a few weeks and see what they do.

Pull ups

Then I had to wait for my mate to get a ride so I messed around for a bit and pressed (failed 80 x 1 attempt but easily got 75) and did some power cleans ( a few at 80 which felt pretty hard and a bunch of easy clean & presses at 60)

14 January

I haven't updated for a week or so because my laptop has been screwed but got the great piece of news today that HP is going to repair it without cost so I will be back to updating regularly soon. Everything has been going well though. Yesterday I pulled 200 x 3 conventional which is a nice PR and then I squatted 162.5 x 3 which was hard because deadlifting first completely destroys me. All good though. Things are going well.

Thursday & Saturday

Thursday all I did was squat 160 x 5, 150 x 5, 140 x 5 and left. I had to get up real early and go to the gym before Ron went to work so I was real tired and on top of that I didn't feel recovered from the previous deadlift session which wasn't a surprise.

Today I benched 107.5 x 6 x 1. First rep only was paused.Pretty happy with this really. Solid progress.

Press: 65 x 6, 55 x 6

Incline: 70 x 5, 67.5 x 2 x 5

Update

The other day I pulled 195 x 5 which was awesome.

Today I made some slight changes to the set and rep scheme of Steel's bench programme. Instead of 92.5 x 12 x 2 I did 92.5 x 5 x 5. It was pretty straight forward which was nice.
