Soo sleepy now. I had a nice hot bath to help me recover but now I want to sleep :(. Pleased with the session though. I should have gotten the 200kgx2 I'm a little ****ed that I didn't but oh well not long to the comp now so I can just smash pbs then :).
 
Lift as much as possible :D.

Probably something like this:
160-170 Squat
105ish Bench
210ish Dead

I've messed around a lot with my squat and it lagging a bit. It'll be fine once I adapt to these changes because they are technically a better way of squatting that I used before but untrained during the long time off. I just won't have adapted to them fully by September.
 
Recovery day done:
30mins rolling

Warmup on the rowing machine
5x250m intervals increasing the speed each one

15mins ish on a spin bike to get the lactate moving and get some blood flowing through my legs.

I think I'll start doing these days more often, I've said this in the past and never really done it but I think I'll give it a go properly this time. Conveniently this shouldn't interfere with comp prep at all and might even help to lose a few pounds :p.

At the moment I'm sitting comfortably at around 75kg give or take a little water weight. The plan is to drop milk at the beginning of next week and if I'm not 74kg or under by the 3rd of September to water load and follow a slightly better dehydration protocol than last time.

Squats were weird today, the first 130kg felt really hard but then it just kept on getting easier :/.

I wanted to do some spinning again today but I ran out of time.

I need to find a gym that is open tomorrow because mine is closed which of course is unacceptable :).

Absolutely shattered, I am on short rest for this part of the cycle to help with hardware gainz. I was knackered after the squats but then to have to do paused deads as well was fun. The set I failed I got the first two fine but when I set up for the third I went all light headed and stumbled a bit so I decided to leave it there :).

Starting off light with the core work, especially after the core smashing of today.

Thanks man.


I know I absolutely hate them, I would rather do anything other than them but unfortunately they are ideal for my so I have to stick with them :(. Volume decreases next week, although that does mean more weight :mad:.
 
I should probably add split squats in every so often, especially on my shock days just to destroy myself even more.

Mind you, front squats are doing a good job of that. While attempting to strangulate me as well
 
Ha ha, yeah they will do that. I haven't done fronties in ages, I might have a go to see if I can actually do them now. They would make a good replacement for BSS later on in my program when I need the exercises to be more specific. Ah, there is a plan forming ;).
 
:D

I find they work my core a hell of a lot as well, they pretty much just exhaust me on leg days. Just need to make sure my wrists are okay, they don't like bending like that....But it could be due to me not being to move my elbows higher
 
Aye I think I know what you mean anyway. They're okay, I tend to find they hurt more on back squats oddly enough...

Work that one out :p
