120x5x5 squats went well. I even did a 150 stepdown to 120x5. So 150kg squat is a new record for me. I know theres a 170kg squat in me on a good day as the 150 was quite easy.

Hit up my upper back with some 55kg db rows which i found fairly easy but this gym doesnt go any higher than 55kg dbs. So more reps! 10 each arm is a breeze, might try 10 left, 10 right, 10 left, 10 right though thats prolly cardio!

Front delts are hammered, maybe tendonitus, so sore and grindy :(.

Squat tonight. Unsure whether to do 5x5 on 120 or try 5x8 on 100. I think i'll feel the burnnnnn more with the later. It will then be lunges, probably 22kg in each hand, then calfs. Probably add some bicep or tricep to bulk up the session.

Shoulders knackared all the time, pretty certain its a rotator partial tear so resting it slightly by not shoulder pressing, lat pull, pull ups, raises, incline press and maybe flat bench.

Defo getting there. Benched 150kg for a nice clean rep, squat still sucks though. Been doing leg press and worked upto 380kg on that. Cant wait to hit 200kg on squat. Working on accessories a lot like leg extension, calf raises, hamstring curls and leg press.

At the mo my personal bests are

Bench 150kg
Deadlift 250kg
Squat 165kg
Clean and press a pathetic 80kg
Leg press 380kg

Man its been a while since update! No progress in max’s yet, though I managed 150kg squat for 3 nice deep reps so my squats slowly getting better.

Been plagued with light injuries/pain. Shoulders, knees and hips mainly. Had a weird injury while deadlifting. As I pulled up on my 4th set of 200kgx4 there was an audible crack/tear from my rib area. Hurt for 2 days but seems ok now so light deads for abit.

Going for reps at the moment with everything now 8-12 reps maybe 15 depending on area. Going back to 5x5 or 4x4 in a few month when fully recovered.

Light deads for reps felt really really good. Was worried with my rib pain but was nice.

Deadlift

60kgx10
100kgx10
150kgx10
150kgx10
150kgx10

Paused deads

3 sets of 7x100kg

Then hit shoulder machine up for some heavy reps, plenty of supersets.

Shrugs 120kg 5 sets of 10-15 rep

Side raises 10kg plate each hand 5 sets 5 reps

Front raise 20kg bar 5 sets 10 reps.

My gym has an awesome powerlift room now, 2 power racks, olympic deadlift weights and platform, plate loaded chest,shoulder and back machines. Its always quiet in there too.
