 Member 2195, 111 posts SQ 180, BP 100, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 78.5kgs UnEq | Thanks Stephen, your 300KG squat was amazing as was that deadlift! Yeah it would be awesome to come and train with you some time if for no other reason that to see that friend of yours in action when annoying pricks are doing curls in the squat rack Started a new cycle today, decided to do seated presses for 5/3/1 as they do the job of strengthening the bottom of the bench press which is my main weakness for raw bench. I'll be adding all sorts of wee things here and there to help improve my lifting prospects for the unequipped championships and the worlds Seated Press 45KG x5 47.5KG x5 50KG x10 PR Did 32.5KG x12,15 at vertical level 42.5KG x12,10 medium level Did 11 sets of pull-ups - one for each set of pressing: 7,7,7,5,5,5,5,5,5,4,4 reps | ||

Member 2195, 111 posts SQ 180, BP 100, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 78.5kgs UnEq | Worked out at Warrior's Gym in Scotstoun today with the boys from POA. Was pretty good. 8 or so platforms with 2 glute-ham benches. Deadlift Was still sore in lower back and tired overall from Saturday's epicness but I was rearing to go 150KG x5 160KG x5 170KG x13 PR First 5 reps were fast one after the other but rest were separated by a few seconds and eventually quite a few seconds. Really worked on form - I know that when it comes to sumo deadlifts - poor set-up can make what SHOULD be a light weight feel like a max effort No elevated platforms (yet) so no deficit deads this time which sucks cuz these are great for my grip (double overhand on all sets) and really work my hams/glutes giving great bottom-end strength and arguable lock-out too So tried my hand with goodmornings - light weight but found out why they are so renowned - and dangerous - have to be really careful - very tiring too Good Morning 40KG x10x3 Ab Pulldown No 7 x10,8,8 Glute-Ham Raise BW x10,10 Devastating - absolutely humbling and excruciating - I love them tho maybe not as much as Wullie does  | ||

Member 2195, 111 posts SQ 180, BP 100, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 78.5kgs UnEq | Worked out at Warriors Gym again with BDFPA vets. Was really good having platform to myself though it did take some head scratching to calibrate bench to my style. Bench Press 72.5KG x5 77.5KG x5 82.5KG x7 Failed 8th rep cuz the bar holder slashed open my finger right in the same place I cut it last time. Really annoying Lock-outs 105KG x10x5 Probably should have done fullrange close-grips for 5 sets and then done a triple with lock-outs but I was curious 115KG x3PR Pull-Ups x5,5,5,4,3,4,3,3,3,3,3,3 In between all bench sets Krok Row 32.5KG x15 | ||

Member 2195, 111 posts SQ 180, BP 100, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 78.5kgs UnEq | Callouses in my hand really impaired my deadlifts today  Deadlift 160KGx3 170KGx3 180KGx3 Sucks. Not just hands holding me back - just felt incredibly difficult. I wonder if doing all those chin-ups is the reason for this? Good Morning 50KGx10x3 Ab Pulldown No.6 (?kg) x10x3 GHR BWx10x3 PR | ||

Member 2195, 111 posts SQ 180, BP 100, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 78.5kgs UnEq | Haha give me an arm transplant and I'll consider it :d Bench 77.5KGx3 82.5KGx3 87.5KGx5 Was really hard - different bench and different bar probably the reason - may need to go narrower with this bar Lock-Outs 105KGx3 110KGx3 115KGx3 120KGx3 125KGx3 130KGx1 PR Kept going till found max - great ego boost Close-Grip 60KGx10x3 Easier than at Stevies for some reason Pull-Ups In between pressing sets: 5,4,4,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3 Seated Row 60KGx15x3 | ||
