Yes! How many reps at 60kg, out of interest if your 1RM is 70kg?
I can do my 5x5 on it.

It may be deeper, but you might not be lifting until you butt comes up a bit.
531 is good, but it's a long term program, not something you do for 5-6 weeks. To give you an idea of how slow, my bench press I did 127.5 x 7 on 3rd Feb, and tonight I'm hoping to increase that by 1 rep.
Dom - aren't you a little nuclear powered machine?!![]()
Great work and great form! (As I'd expect from you). Can't say I like your lowering - but of course you train a different style, I personally feel the eccentric movement is still an important one to do. I don't like the fact you use a belt - but we've had this argument ad nauseum
Nice grip work too
I know a lot of people that would struggle double overhand at 100kg let alone 160+
How tall are you again? You seem to have a good body for deadlifting. Mechanically I'm better suited for deads than any other exercise really.

Guys. My 1RM on bench at the moment is 70KG but 60KG for reps. Is 100kg reps by the end of the year an achieveable target do you think?
What kind of issues do you have with your knees?
Rob, I'm at the exact same point as you and my goal is 100kg by the end of the year.
Shall we have some friendly competition?![]()
Good news:
Weights are going up; can do 1 wide grip chin up
Bad news:
I CAN'T ****ING DEADLIFT![]()
What are you finding so difficult. Load a bar with 10kg a side, watch yourself on mirror, back straight, chin up, push the ground away from you and extend the back up. Don't arch.
Try taking a video of your form.
