145x3 - last rep was a beast. Despite trying to convince myself that it was EASY, it was not
145x3 - found my grove at this point. My triceps are really coming on well.
Bench
115x8 - no problems.
120x8 - 8 clean reps
122.5x7f - wanted 8, failed the 8th hard.
Pin Press

CGBP

Good spot, made it public.
Something is helping my lock outs, they've been amazing recently. Reps I would normally fail I'm snapping them bishes out. Some reps I find I stall momentarily then my triceps come on and the rep is locked out. Likely it's a combination of things but pin press I'm really liking for a couple sets.
No snaps here
Cheers Morba!

I'd love to say bench 165 and squat 220. Deadlift I'm not sure about as I've changed it a lot and it won't be a while before I see where that goes. Hopefully more than 255
I CGBP the same as you LiE
I do love CGBP, but only have room for it at the end when my triceps and chest are ruined.
Yea BW dips at the end were getting silly at 18-20 reps a set, so added a little weight.
Yea no chance of doing many reps at that. I've done 2 reps in the past, could probably do more now.

First poor session I've had in a while. Must be tiredness, diet slack or something. Did 4 sets of deadlifts with the new form, then proceeded to battle the urge to throw up for the next 10 minutes. Did some stretching and called it a day.
Deads
BAR
70x8
100x4
140x2
160x1
187.5x5 x4 - pretty solid. My hamstrings and glutes need stretching as it was hard to get into the bottom position. I have been neglecting my stretching in favour of rolling recently, but I'm going to attack that now.

Deads were OK, the power was there, my body just shut me down after the last set for some reason. Had to sit on the floor for 10 minutes with the garage door open trying not throw up.
Did the rest of my back workout today.
1-arm DB Rows
49x12/12

BB Curls

Thanks it's been going well with a small and steady increase.

Right so let's see how the strength gains have been going. Deadlift has been form work so no strength blocks have been done so far.

Wasn't myself by the end, completely switched off, even left my workout log book. Despite that, I'm pleased with the PB. I'm going to see how 150x3x3 goes next week, but before then I'm going to need to tackle this tightness in my chest and shoulders.
Next training day will be back at the Oxford bro down.
