Thanks guys. Apart from being pleased with the face value of the lift, I'm relieved that reintroducing squats hasn't taken anything away from my deadlift progress.Good work fella
250kg was a milestone for absolutely ages, now I have my eye on 600lbs.
A routine.
Soldato
Can anyone give me a good 4 day split please?
All about gaining mass at the minute so Heavy compound stuff is welcome. Im not adverse to a little isolation work thrown in.
I want a nice heavy taxing routine that gives me all the feel good aches and pains after
Ill not list my current one as on paper it seems right, I just fancy some input from others.
Areas where Im falling behind...
Upper Chest, Rear Delt and Tricep.
Strength wise Im pretty competent. Can bench around 80-100kg for sets and Deadlift 150+

Can you elaborate on back thickness and width? 
I presume you mean something like deads / wide chins or something

Back thickness = Row movements, deadlifts
Width = Chins and anything else that directly works the lats

Ta man
Shame I don't have anywhere to do chins at the gym

You have a smith machine or a rack don't you?
If it has an over the head bar, just do it off that

No mate, just a cheap squat rack, and its too short to hang off properly
Man of Honour
Get one of those bars you put in your door at your house then! No excuses Delvis!

Buy a pullup bar for your doorway at home?
Interesting splitting back over 2 days... well with regards to thickness and width.
I start a back day with Wide pullups, then once they are done I hit lat pulldown, then seated rows and whatnot.
I definitely feel I need to review things though because I gained better earlier in the year but having changed gym and routine I feel Im not as effective.
Just need a change I think

I have one, but don't really have any decent door ways to do wide...The only door way I have has a cupboard 2mm next to it so it doesn't hang properly
This is why I want to join a gym, but I can't bloody afford to
Caporegime
Like I said, the door way is practically attached to a cupboard, so there isn't much (any) of the right hand skirting.
I'll sort something. I did take it to the gym but the door is some stupid width fire door, so doesn't work

How much is the cheapest gym around yours? and why cant you afford it.
Caporegime
I'll repeat it as you probably missed it a few months ago.
I'm poor, the job I have only just allows me to buy the food and supplements I actually need to get from training currently. Any other left over money is going towards paying my overdraft and credit card.
I'm on the look out for another job, but as I'm terrible (as you probably gathered already) I have no idea what I want to be doing career wise.
Soon as I get a better paying job I'll get in to a gym like I did over summer
