How come you do cable side raises instead of DB laterals? Just the constant tension?

No push press, no care.
60*8 on strict looks tasty, however.
I'll try some PP this weekend and see how I fair. Just for you <3
Constant tension, and it really helps for my shoulder rehab - and I like the pump

OHP is coming along nicely Hows the shoulder feel?

Hearing you say that is like hearing Dom, icecold, reiyushin and like saying they'll put their muscle skills to weightlifting...
Yes.
OHP is coming along nicely

Still have AIDS but - I'm sort of pushing through it.

Still, deadlifts, and squats are on target

Deload next week - and then a bit of random work outs until cycle 3 in the new year.
I will be doing some 1RM tests in a couple of weeks. I will try and record them for you sexy people.
My projected ratios at the moment are:
2.20 - Squat
1.54 - Bench
2.52 - Deads
0.85 - OHP
Not bad. We'll see if it turns into reality!

I'm proper ****ed today! Especially after today!
I haven't bothered noting my deload for last week.
Going to do some volume stuff over the next couple of weeks as following a programme over Christmas will be too sporadic. I may do some 1rm tests too.

Meh - Squats
Well an average work out, was going to do lots of singles and doubles - but just didn't feel comfortable in the hole - but I gave it a bash, I think I need to be more ready, but at least I spent some time under the bar with some decent weight on.
Bar*lots
60*10
80*6
100*5
100*5
120*5
140*3
150*3
160*2
170*1
180*1
180*1 didn't get to depth, didn't feel comfortable (not in pain, just in terms of strength) going any lower as I felt I'd have to bail out.
Did a few dropsets:
140*5
140*5
140*5
DBSS:
22*8
22*8
22*8
Then some stair runs with 24kg KBs - 12 sets. Good cardio actually.
Legs feel fried, but a bit disappointed I wasn't more comfortable with 180. I just don't have the confidence to go full depth with that sort of weight yet I guess. Hmpf.

Well high bar is the only way
I still never thought I'd say I'd do a 140kg dropset though that does sound pretty cool

They take about 90mins or so.
Another max effort day today - doing some benching.

Fin.
It felt good doing heavy with a decent amount of volume. I think I need to do this more often.
I really shouldn't really be doing max effort days at the moment as I've only just come to the end of 2 cycles 531 - but I'm planning on at least 3-4 more cycles in the new year.
85% of my 1RM I can rep out easily... but it doesn't translate to an actual 1RM in terms of calculations.
I think I need some icecold treatment as it's hard to tell where I'm going wrong.
Ah well. Onwards and upwards.
