Goodbye Blog

I just can't be bothered logging in and posting. Not much point to it. Obviously I'll still be training...

Posting Highlights

I'm not gonna post every session. From now on it will be just the highlights and updates. It's been a bit like that anyway.

Recently, I realised I was training too light - this applies specifically to squats. My max must be 200, maybe even 210 on a good day. I squatted 190 x 5 comfortably not to long ago However, I've been training predominantly in the 65-75% range with all these sets at 160kg. That's not gonna get my max up. I've gotta train harder and heavier - simple as that. The other day I did 170 x 8 x 3 and this was a good start. At the end of this current volume block, I have to be squatting 180 for between 15-24 total reps if I want to add poundage to my max so that's what I will be doing in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday I benched 100 x 10 x 3. Similar principle for my benching, however, I wasn't training as light for bench in comparison with squat. No wonder I was making bench progress - I got my volume and percentages right. With squatting, I just became soft.
