Felt strong this morning.

Smashed out the OHP 5x5 @ 50kgs
Deadlift 5x60kg, 5x80kg, 3x100kg, 5x120kg
Squats... Forgot my actual gym shorts, and bar hulking through my tiny swimming shorts this wasnt going to happen, probably good though as I only did 92.5kg yesterday and would have struggled with 95kg today.

BW chin ups, managed 6,5,5

18 mins Calisthenics circuit as before, this is horrible after working out but I need to burn some fat.

Protein shake after made me fill sick. bleurgh!

Not a great session, not sure why.

Bench
3x 72.5
3x 85
5x 95 - This was horrible, don't know why. Expected 7 or 8.

Boring but big
5x
10x 57.5 (I lowered my 1rm % and paused every rep on the chest as thats where I was getting stuck 1-3 seconds on the pauses)

CGBP
3x
8x 60

Pushups
Pullups

Rolling


Very interested in next weeks 5/3/1 bench, perhaps I've lost strength in training for the tournament or perhaps it was just a horrible day ^^

5 seems pretty low for a 531 + set. What did you get the week before? Lowest I've hit on a bad day is 7.

I normally get 10-12 reps in the first week then drop 1-2 reps each week as the weight increases.

Example.
Deadlift in week 1 of this cycle was really bad, got 167.7 x 7, but then the week after I got 177.5x10.

 

[reiyushin]

Got 10 on the first week.

 

[LiE]

That's quite a drop, never seen anything like that.

 

[reiyushin]

Next weeks numbers will be very interesting

 

[LiE]

You should get 7-8.
The program is pretty linear if you put in the effort. Now and again though you have a bad day or a really good day.

I noticed I've some bruises and missing skin on my shoulder blades, probably from the chest press, I still dig my back in and chest out like I use to on benchpressing.

Ah well, now it looks like I've a trifecta of scars on my back haha, two up top and one bellow in the centre.

Worst thing is how weak my legs still are, oh muscle atrophy thou art a heartless thing.
