wozza2k's pursuit of vanity

Noted about the depth, my mobility work have dropped off and two weeks of sitting at a desk for 18 hours a day haven't done me much good, ankles are especially tight so will smash the hell out of everything and hopefully see improvements.

My calves look small compared to my thighs... I think my skinny ankles make my calves look bigger than they really are
 
Bit of an unstructured day due to equipment being in use, experimenting with 4/5 days a week instead of usual 3 days so trying not to totally slaughter everything.

Finally some decent time in the gym :D decided to testout whether I could hit my previous squat, in terms of weight managed it but reps will need more work, not sure whether depth is slightly missing, ankle/heel cord on right leg is definitely needs smashing.

Messed about with deadlifts and think I'm slowly getting there, hopefully video below should reveal all...

OHP is a lift which never does much for me again I think mobilising them more may benefit

Went in with the intention to start with bench so I'm 'fresh' for it but yet again the bench is in use hence the weird Floor Press session in-between.

Bit of a strange session, hit a new PB on squat but not convinced on the form (see video below), think I lost a bit of tightness midway so ended up collapsing and catching the frame a bit it still counts right?

Didn't count deadlifts but I was tired as hell by the time I got to them so didn't do a huge amount, just working on maintaining tightness and tidying up form.

Thanks

I felt pretty comfortable and could maybe push more weight but since form was ropey, form work is probably best for the next few sessions.

Struggled with squats at 100kg today, not sure why but felt really tight in a bad way. Deadlifts however went ok, things clicked at 70kg so I'll upload a video soon for form check to see whether I'm doing it right

Put squats at the end to allow more work elsewhere although felt super tight doing said squats, paused in the hole on the 60kg and 80kg to work on things.

DL feel comfortable think maybe getting the form down.... Bench is a but of a grind so may drop the weight down to a comfortable 60kg and work in that next time.

Ta! And funnily enough I've recently went shopping for jeans and below is a result of the progress, my thighs make most jeans look like skinny jeans :eek: My friend suggested I skip a few leg days :D

Ha I've gone through two pairs of suit trousers this year for that same reason, not cheap to keep replacing them :(

Mish mash of bits tonight, tried to do 6 x 2 on squats but failed 5th set and since someone was waiting for the rack I bailed. Thought I throw in some DB OHP to build that back up, not really where else to go in terms of improving that lift :confused:

Will look into those presses and maybe swap them with the OHP.

Tonight:

Wow, that feel when humbled by the bar and having to bail, 4th set of 125 squats was interesting, 1st rep pushed out the rep fine, felt explosive if anything then when it comes to the 2nd slight pause at bottom grinded up slightly then had to bail :(. After that dropped down to 100kg which then felt heavy as anything. Everything else which followed was a slight grind hence the drop in weight compared previous.
