Had a cold so took some extra days off still not 100%. Incline felt tough after the deadlifts. 5x165 felt pretty good so still got a lot in the tank I think. Who knows maybe I’m capable of a 200kg 1rm.
I was thinking of the last week before Xmas, going for 1rms. Just for fun. I’ve been training since May and have resisted the urge to deviate from the program, I have never gone for a 1rm since starting. Hoping to aim for ~200kg DL, 185kg squat, 95kg bench. Who knows?
If I get them I’ll be happy, after starting at 119kg bodyweight in May, probably around 35% body fat, down to around 96kg, maybe I’m 20-25% body fat now. Still on a deficit, I’ll be chuffed if I can lift those 1rms. Not bad for a desk jockey who until this year hasn’t lifted in 10 years. If I’d have stuck with it in 2013 who knows what I’d be lifting now.
Having a minor cosmetic surgery tomorrow, removing a big old skin tag on my back. So went tonight instead of Monday. I’m sure it would be ok to go to the gym on the same day but didn’t want to chance it. I’ll hopefully be back on Wednesday.
