Good things come in 3s

Testing maxes on Saturday, today was to go to hit the current max or a little over provided things stayed smooth.

Bench Paused
160 :D no issues (asides from triceps still being tired)

Saturday should be a nice new max :)
 
Testing all maxes or just bench?

Bench and Deads, not expecting anything more on deads but if I could get the positioning better then there's a wee bit more to be had :)

Nice progress on your lifting man, loving the unique deadlift technique, dip, grip, and go lol

Thanks, seems to help my poor hands, they were getting torn to pieces when setting them up and trying to load my hams. Also has helped with being more consistent in my pulling :)

Too much to ask tonight¬ Not close to recovered.

Squats

Worked up to 100kg....took a lot of time to get this far but it wasn't to be. Not to worry, it was to be expected that it would take time to adapt to the workload.


Bench

some inverse rows, upright rows and stretching!
 
Saturday morning I pulled something in my groin area.....

Saturday

Squats
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA nope. :(
Stretched, rolled, massaged and tiger balmed but nothing would get me to my working weight without feeling like it was doing more harm then good.
I hit a few triples with 160 to keep me ticking over.

Bench
5x6x127.5 - grand here :)

Some pullups and I was outta there.

Sunday

Deadlifts
4x8x225 - death.... first set was no belt no straps :) second set was both on but I didn't like the position the straps put me in so 3rtd and 4th were without straps.
All reps pulled from a dead stop....almost passed out on the 3rd set >.<

OHP
2x8x67.5

Did some rows and curls.
 
Cheers man :D

Tuesdays session

Squats
4x8x180 - these were definitely better but all the hip mobility from the sumo has made me lose my groove...gotta figure it out again :D

Bench
4x8x120

Inverse Rows
Neutral Grip DB Press
 
Skipped Tuesday and Thursday, feeling awful! Keeping the volume light as my chest infection is finally starting to clear up (I considered not training at all but I couldn't keep myself away)

Saturday squats

Sets of 4x210kg little out of the groove.

Hit a set of bench but was very drained.
Bench 4x140

Sunday

Deadlifts
Hit 3 sets of 5 at 255kg - this was obscenely difficult and rightly so it was 5kg above my 5RM ^^ My 1rm this time last year was 250kg so I was well pleased with the improvement once I'd realized that.

Did some pullups, floor press, machine OHP (back was fried and I didn't want to put much more pressure on it) and then a ton of stretching and foam rolling.

After this I did a lot of prehab work on my shoulders and stretches :)
