Your upper body is strong! Shame about the wheels under them
Yeah, This week I've been going well with my recovery plan,
BW squats, moving up slowly with goblets.
Just reading through your log - inspiring reading:thumbs
I am interested in your bench... you seem to have pushed through sticking points and continued to make gains, which is impressive.
Were there a lot of failed bench attempts, or did you always feel the weight progression manageable?
I have been mostly gyming at home and have had a sticking point at 80kg on the BP
Thanks
If by failed attempts you mean times I didn't finish the desired sets then yes, I've failed a good number of times haha.
I'd say one of the best changes I made was changing my reps to a periodisation plan (

This change in rep scheme has helped me push through things, Also there's a number of times I've added press ups (un logged)
On a week I felt my bench didn't work, after my workout on the friday I'd do 100 press ups, 5 sets of 20/ 4 sets 20 & 2 of 10, whatever I needed to get them in.
Just to give me that extra pump, give the chest a new challenge.
Now in other news, I've not been logging,
