Yes but I've been sitting at 182.4 for weeks 
This is the lightest I've been in months.

When you say triples do you simply mean 3x3?

Just sets of triples mate presumably. I would be doing more than 3 sets of 3, unless the weight was ridiculous obviously
OK so I've decided this fish isn't going to work for me.
Dropping fish in favour of another burger in wholemeal roll.
Here is my revised diet

Pretty happy with this.

You change diet multiple times a week, if something is working, why do you keep changing up all the time?
Paused bench press reps tonight I'm thinking 2-3 seconds pause each rep. I'll aim to do 2-3 reps and pyramid up in weight.

When I've decided to change my diet I trial it for a week. I'll make tweaks throughout the week so the following week the diet will be spot on. I may do this a few times until I'm happy with how the diet looks then stick with it until I need to change my macros.
My previous diet was made up mostly by 2 big shakes I took (2 scoops oats, 1 scoop whey). I wasn't happy with the lack of whole foods in the diet which prompted me to make the changes I'm doing now.
The diet I just posted up is pretty much there now. I'll monitor my weight and progress then adjust if I need more/less macros.
Some of the stuff I try I don't get on with, like the Pollock.

I'm presuming he just likes to mix up his food every so often.
P.S: Drop the fish off at my house if you're going to waste it

I won't waste it, it'll be eaten as per the diet I set out for this week. I just won't include it in next week's diet
Surprised myself with the paused reps, felt a lot stronger off the chest than I thought
Pause Bench Press (held 2-3 on chest each rep)
bar x some
60 x 7
80 x 6
100 x 5
120 x 3
130 x 2
140 x 1
140 x 1
60 x 20 - explosive speed reps
Dips
BW x 8
+40 x 6
+60 x 5
+60 x 6
Speed press ups
3 sets of ~20-25
CGBP
60 x 10
60 x 10
70 x 10
Changed my CGBP grip so that it's wide enough to allow my elbows to go past my torso with my forearms vertical.
Very pleased overall. I think I could have got 150 for a paused rep

Yea next week for sure. Had Slya5 spotting me so he couldn't record
The 2nd single of 140 was easier as I had the confidence. It was all unknown territory to start with!

Yea I can feel how useful it will be when doing it. Speed reps are quite fun too, just need to be mindful not to make them too light.

May I ask what the purpose of the speed reps + press ups is?
