Surely you can add weight on your pull ups? Or you aiming for more reps first?

And complaining about OHP when you press 2/3 of BW for 5x5 :/

MoNkeE · 19 Jan 2017 at 17:01

I weigh upwards of 90kg and I was knackered after my deadlifts, cut me some slack bro

plus this are full dead hang pull ups, no girly half reps.

I suppose the disappointment with OHP is after doing 34kg DB press for 3 sets of 8, I expected more doing 5 reps. But of course the movements are different, the barbell goes deeper and pushedore from the front deltas, so I think my expectations were a little high.

Just saw this..... how you doin'?

I miscounted today, so my 160kg Deadlift ended up being 170kg. So I did 5 sets of 3 instead of 5 sets of 5. I've also pulled my right trap slightly and not slept much this week, so I'm happy overall!

Casual miscount, casual 200kg pulled.

MoNkeE · 24 Jan 2017 at 15:41

The first rep was tough so it wasn't that casual, and it reduced my overall volume! The 200kg wasn't that pretty either, but after 5 sets of 3 I'm not too unhappy about that.

Indeed, most jealous of that pressing

MoNkeE · 27 Jan 2017 at 16:08

It was a struggle to be fair, and still somewhat embarrassing that my bench isn't too far ahead

Goals... wanting to look handsome and lift more than your average joe.

Natty status: error.

Current weight: 95kg-ish

Current Deadlift: 210kg
Current Bench Press: 110kg
Current Squat: error.

Additional goals: work on serious leg rehabilitation to re-enable the training of legs. This will consist of leg rolling, stretching of hips, posterior chain and focus on IT bands.

Goals that I'll never complete: introduce more cardio in to my workouts.

The last I saw you looked like Karl Urban... Got a Dredd outfit?

MoNkeE · 30 Jan 2017 at 17:10

Ha bro, long time no see!

The helmet would be the best feature there I think
