Masons get lean log!



Those deadlifts flew up. Felt strong. Swapped Dumbbell press for lever chest press machine, don’t want a crunchy shoulder.
 


Tasty pause reps. Was not in the mood today but banged it out. Dips are creeping up. Soon I’ll be doing bodyweight. Hopefully good signs for my bench.

Really not in the mood today. Work is super stressful, and I was tired. Squats felt good, really disappointed with bench though.

Before my deload I hit 5x85 and failed on 87.5 only doing 3 reps. Since coming back bench has felt good. 5x82.5 last week felt super easy. So was gutted I only managed 4 on 85 today. The 4th rep was a slog so I didn’t even attempt the 5th, really I should have. Might have been a form issue with the 4th… oh well I’ll try again next week.
 
Deadlift: 5x155, 4x5x140
Incline Bench: 5x8x60
Chest Press: 5x5x50
Lat Pulldown: 3x8x62.5
Body weight: 95.6

Really didn’t want to go today. So tired.

The app I use has a nice calendar view showing when I went. Since May last year I never had a perfect month. Closest I got was missing 1 workout in July and August last year. Going to aim for a perfect February and never miss a session.

Today was the first day this week where I felt ‘up to it’.

Pause bench: 5x3x75
Pause deadlifts: 2x3x140

Deadlift day. Guy behind me did 180 and 190, was very tempted to ask if I could attempt a cheeky 1 rep max. But I’ll hold off for a bit.

Hard to resist when you're on the cusp of a big lift!

But it is worth the wait!
 
Very late to the gym tonight. I’m that saddo who rocks up to the gym at 21:30 on a Friday.

2 PRs today.

1st one: BMI of 29.9 down from 37.8 in May last year. RIP obesity, I am now overweight.

Second was on bench:

Squats: 5x155, 4x5x140

Seated row: 5x5x133
Brocep Curls: 3x12x25
Bodyweight: 94.6kg


Moved quite nicely. I failed this before my deload only managing 3 reps back in November. Really pleased to get it and think it looked like it moved pretty easy. Roll on 90 next week.

The squats killed me today too. Top set moved ok but the volume - I was blowing a gasket after 3rd set. Was really thinking of wimping out but pushed through. Didn’t bode well for bench but managed to surprise myself. Happy days.
