wozza2k's pursuit of vanity

Weekly fasted training session, not sure whether slightly fatigued as I went bouldering last night, squats felt ok, bench felt ok, rows and deads felt good, although I think some of the weights moved look conservative upon review.

Think theoretically I should be able to do 5x5 125kg squats but there is a mental/confidence issue which I need push pass :(. In other news feeling slightly more confident with the deadlifts so pushing myself on that front, will try and get a video up soon incase I'm doing it really wrong.

Upped the weight on both bench and rows which felt surprisingly ok and less of a grind than expected... Will just push on and keep progressing then

Not confident on going for that 4th rep on Squats, not sure why. On the other hand confident with upping weights on deads :confused:

Hepburn doesn't sound half bad, problem I'm going be stretched for time soon due to studies starting up again.

I'll going to do try a 1RM of 140kg tomorrow and then drop the weight back down to see how it goes, I'll probably aim for 6 x 2 on 130kg after if all goes well, good plan?
 
So I did a 1RM test on squats today in the hope of making 130kg feel easier. Well I managed the 140 lift but the 130 following certainly didn't feel that much easier, not sure if doing this session whilst fasted was a good idea but good to know I can manage 140.

Rest of the session suffered but I guess that's to be expected?

Video of 140 & 1st set of 130 for form check below. I noticed as I re watched the video my right leg goes a bit weird? Sign of imbalances or mobility?

Another mediocre session, didn't feel strong enough to get that 3rd rep in on squats so pushed for 6 x 2. Deadlift however felt good and comfortable.

Another weekend, another fasted session. All went pretty well, making progress towards 5 x 5 on squats, thought I be a bit cautious on the deads just to check form, bunch of form check videos below, feedback hugely welcome :)

Squats felt difficult but is probably carry over from last night. Deadlifts was ok, 120 went up pretty well, just not really conditioned to smash out multiple reps, will work on this. OHP was a little bit rushed at the end but I think given more time I would have hit 5 x 5.

Fasted session. Squats and bench I need to man up and get out the 4/5th reps. Rows felt comfortable... Getting confident with deads but need to condition for more reps.

OD I was doing a higher/lower weight days for squats to allow more focus on getting the deadliest weight up but never really given thought to chasing further depth. I might experiment with further depth but as Mrthingyx mentions there's probably a number of mechanics I need to fix before being able to be able to go ATG...

With the spot you would more than likely try for an extra rep, I doubt you're struggling on the last rep or two without a spot? Unless your rack allows you to bail nicely

It clicked to me what you were getting at a lot later after I posted, yea having the spot there would probably give me the confidence to get that extra rep or two out but unfortunately my gym is full of kermits.
 
Eugh ill with a weird cough/cold thing which is making me hock up crap here and there so had to drop the intensity a bit today. Tried to slow the movement on the deads to tweak out faults with form, felt light headed after a few at 100kg so moved on light face pulls then some pull ups.

Fasted training whilst still under the weather a bit. Squats were definitely smashing me, then never quite caught my breath back whilst doing deads. OHP yea won't even go there.

Added in farmers walks at the end for conditioning work as I probably need this... Other ideas would be welcome, prowler would have been my choice but we don't have one at my gym :(
