yeah, cutting atm but I was at 80 squat a week ago on the same calories :/ sleep is fine, usually 7 or 8 hours.

toasteh · 26 Feb 2015 at 11:13

hopefully, I wasn't feeling great so we'll see how it goes tomorrow.

toasteh · 2 Mar 2015 at 11:37

I'm pleased for you, maybe you should start your own log thread?

toasteh · 2 Mar 2015 at 13:35

That would be nice

need to get back in the gym tonight, got slack over the weekend :/

toasteh · 4 Mar 2015 at 21:44

So the title of the thread needs changing now, started on 5/3/1 today using the bodyweight accessory exercises.

ohp

15kg 1x5
20kg 2x5
25kg 1x5
30kg 1x5
30kg 1x9

underhand lat pulldowns (in lieu of chinups)

75kg 11/11/10/9/7

dips 5/4/4/3/3

toasteh · 5 Mar 2015 at 10:30

yeah, unfortunately the tiny elastic bands known as my arms and chest only let me do a few

toasteh · 5 Mar 2015 at 12:15

I'm more worried about my lats falling off tbh

toasteh · 6 Mar 2015 at 21:45

day 2: deadlift

30kg x 5
35kg x 5
45kg x 3

50kg x 5
55kg x 5
60kg x 9

hanging leg raises 16/11/9/8/10

lots more deadlift volume than SL, was nice. hadn't tried hanging leg raises before, seemed like grip strength was the limiting factor here. what's the best way to stop swinging back and forth?

toasteh · 8 Mar 2015 at 15:53

day 3: bench

20kg x 5
25kg x 5
30kg x 5

30kg x 5

pushups 14/12/11/9/8

so colossal failure on chins, everything else was ok
