Cookeh's 6 Week Strength Training Log

Bench 65kg 6,6,6 - Hard. Very much a challenge, first set was crap as I lacked tightness in my upper back - this improved substantially on the second and third set and so the reps became a bit easier. Was getting some wrist pain in my right wrist during the last half of the third set, but that faded very quickly - any ideas?
DB Row 34kg 6,6,6 - Not too bad, form was good, reps weren't lightening fast but neither were they a grind.
Lat Pulldown 50kg 10,10,10 - No free racks for pullups (attempts) so sub'd this in. No problems.
OHP 40kg 6 - Harder than it was last week, which was hard enough.
BB Curl 30kg 6 - Easy enough.
Hammer Curl 10kgs 10,10,10 - Easy enough.
 
Had to move sessions back a day - spent last night cramming for this mornings exam, went well :)

Paused Squats 80kg 4,4,4,4,4,4 - Not so bad, recorded three sets (first two and last one) to look at form, will chuck those in the form thread and spoiler tag them in here. Be interested in opinions as to stance width, not sure about my ankles position in the bottom?
Paused Deads 110kg 4,4,4 - Not too bad, reps weren't lightening fast but neither were they a grind. Lower back wasnt as flat as previous workouts, but my hips were coming through faster.
DBSS 15kg (each hand) 6,6,6,6 - Pfffffffffft.
 
Paused Squats.


Concerned about stance width? Is my ankle position ok in the bottom or should I narrow my stance a bit? Any other form tidbits that need addressing?
 
Paused Bench55kg 4,4,4,4,4,4
Paused DB Row 26kg 4,4,4,4,4,4
Paused Lat Pulldown 50kg 8,8 - No free racks for pullups (attempts) so sub'd this in (again).
OHP 30kg 10 - Not too bad, considering recent struggles with OHP.
BB Curl 30kg 68
DB Curl 12kgs 8,8,88
 
Cant afford gym membership, and have no way of getting there (short of cycling 8 miles each way - which I may do when I can afford membership). So For the past few weeks, and for at least another four, Ive been stuck trying to make something happen with the single 12kg kettlebell I have at home and a single 8kg dumbbell.

Cos such crappy weights Im going for high reps/volume so Im doing 10x10. Today was legs:

Goblet Squats 12kg 10x10
DBSS 12kg 10x10
Hip Thrusts 12kg 10x10
Jump Squats 10x10
 
Oh dear, sorry to hear it - but as long as you keep doing weights of some sort you might not go back too far. I think I lost 5% strength not training in the last 2 weeks, not a major amount but still something I need to build back up again.
