wozza2k's pursuit of vanity

[wozza2k]

Managed to smash through this session in less than a hour, squats felt good, 4th rep seem a possibility but didn't want to risk crashing out, next time....

Think I'm getting the hang of the deadlift movement but again keep meaning to put a video up for review

Slightly hungover, quick sess before heading out for the day beasting copious amount of food...

OHP had no love for me, 2nd set was more like a fudge of OHP and push press and do whatever is required to get the bar up...

Those squats are coming along nicely man. Keep it up

To think I was originally going to stop at 100kg...

Currently aim is 1.5x BW (not far now) then eventually 2x BW, only problem I have now is finding trousers which fit

I did not make that correlation till now... Clearly body does not want me to Ibiza boys exercises

 

[wozza2k]

So so session (maybe because I didn't isolate biceps...). Squats I can't seem to hit the 120kg for reps again. Deadlifts however felt really good and starting to really hip hinge well, just need to be a little more explosive on the lockout.

Squats looked good - did you get bushed?

Bushed?

MOAR deadlifts!

Think I've got the hang of them now, video to come soon....

Knackered. Tired...

Time for a 1RM test?

Ohhhh sorry I'm not down with the kids with hat lingo but yea was a good session, the long weekend catching up on rest was good for me I think

 

[wozza2k]

Session killed me, 4th set of squats was a grinder legs just didn't want to work, the fatigue carried over to deadlifts.

Cable rows to finish as too tired for any more free weight exercises

Sorting form as my back as good as a taco previously, also I can't seem to maintain the tightness for more than a few reps

 

[wozza2k]

Knackered before session started, did well considering. Bench was good, squats ankles felt tight so will have to tackle that. Rows is feel grip isn't doing me favours, finished off with some light RDL hamstring/back tightness work.

Session smashed me proper today, squats at 120 didn't feel comfortable so dropped to 110 which felt ok. On OHP my left shoulder felt 'clicky' so bailed on it early. DL took me ages to find the right spot to record my video but I felt my form is getting better.... Video below and on the form thread

Struggle session today cue excuses of lack of sleep etc

But genuinely squats a 120kg was a grind, dropped it down to 110kg and still felt slaughtered. Bench at 70kg felt ok, but didn't think I could safely grind out the extra reps.

Deadlift videos below to see if I'm getting it right, I feel I'm getting close but I'm not three yet, lockout seems as previously noted a bit forward leaning....

Sorry I didn't reply to your previous post...

I have seen the video but when it comes to it I kinda auto pilot and go to dufus mood. I might need to separate out my DL sessions or put them at the beginning of my session as by the time I do them I'm pretty fatigued.

Admittedly I'm not finding the tightness as I do when squatting so something is amiss.

Nearly two weeks out due to work and exams

Session slaughtered me, got DOMs in my legs pretty much straight away which I haven't felt for some time now. Was all hyped for this session but with only 1.5 hours sleep it was never going to be amazing.

Quick session, trying to get strength back up by getting used to shifting the higher weights again, ran out of space on phone so no deadlift video.
