Still deloading this week, speed reps tonight with chains.

Squat
BARxlotsx2
60x6
70x6
90x8
90x2 - 6 chains (60kg)
110x2 x7 - 6 chains + 70s rest
Thoughts: Good power and lock out.

Paused Bench Press
BAR
60x6
60x2 - 4 chains (40kg)
80x2 - 4 chains
90x2 x5 - 4 chains + 70s rest
Thoughts: Easy enough.

Deads
90x6
90x6 - 6 chains (60kg)
120x6 x7 - 6 chains (60kg) + 70s rest
Thoughts: Really good glute recruitment and strong lock out.
 
Proper mock meet tonight and it was a weird one. I set bench and squat PBs just before I went on holiday, then when I got back my training has been about movement and position, not actual strength accumulation. So with that in mind I wasn't expecting to set any PBs, and I didn't. What I did achieve is trying weights above my PB which I was likely going to fail so I can see where I need to improve.

Lastly I've not done any PB attempts on CBL, which meant I didn't know exactly how to eat for this. Short of it was I was hungry during my mock meet and power was down.

Squat
190x1 - easy
200x1 - pretty straight forward, 200 is comfy now.
220xf - form stayed tight, was just too heavy. Soon.

Comp Paused Bench Press
150x1 - 150 is pretty easy now.
160x1 - getting much better moving 160
167.5xf - nope, not strong enough on the day.

Deadlifts
220x1 - felt slow, really feeling the lack of proper diet prep.
240xf - just lol, no power at all, bailed the rep. I moved this pretty easy on Monday.

Deload now over, the next block is gear towards increasing my strength. Will be interesting to see what happens next mock meet especially if I nail my diet.
 
New 2 week block provided by Icecold... y u do dis?!

Squats
BARxlotsx2
70x7
100x6
70+6c x3 - 6 chains is ~60kg at the top.
100+6c x2
140+6c x3 - boom! about 200 at the top, these were tasty.
132.5+6c x3
132.5+6c x3

Paused Bench Press
BARxlots
60x6
80x3
100x2
120x2 - first rep felt rubbish so didn't another
130x1
145x3 - not bad, been a while since I've done heavy triples
137.5x3
137.5x3

DL Stance GM
BAR
50x8
70x6
100x4
120x5 - first time doing this exercise and it was weird. The eccentric was hard because the movement was unfamiliar, but the concentric wasn't too bad.
120x5
120x5 - almost ended up being a weird squat because of my short hamstrings and trying to keep the bar over my feet.

OHP
BAR
40x5
50x3
60x1
67.5x5 - did a couple overhead shrugs in here too.
65x5 - fried.

Now time to backload into oblivion.

A snap of my squat top set before the pain.

CBL Update

Energy levels on ULC have been really good, it's quite surprising how good you can feel with the absence of carbs.

Weight has settled around 82.3kg, but I expect it to drop a little further over time.

Tonight's backload:
100g dextrose
240g white rice
2 Pain au chocolat
2 Chocolate sundae poptarts
300ml Mars milk

~300g carbs.

Yea paused squat was fun, headache was achieved. Would be good to see what I can do on some of these when I'm fresher. Working in the office before the gym doesn't help, 1.5hr drive straight into deads, dat back tightness!

Chain bench was actually pretty comfy, going to ramp everything up next week, especially the deadlifts as you say.
 
I was back on low bar this morning - I don't think I like the idea of pausing it for 3.

That must blow your core like nothing else...?
 
Nice grunting. :cool:
