Think it took me just under 2 hours to get my Squats done just took my time chatted in between sets with OB and Quig first set @ 150 was rough as. Wrapped up lose and the weights flew up, little bit of coaching from OB and probably the best 150 I have ever done! Thanks OB and Quig for spotting.Bench started off rough which is unusual for me felt a little shoulder niggle but it seemed to fade as I went up thankfully 130 flew up good with the ww on. Would usually grab a spotter for that weight but backed myself and it paid off.Rest was good too kept Power Cleans @40 instead of the prescribed 55kilo didn't want to over do it for heavy deads tomorrow as i'm cutting my rest a day short. Clocking up 2.5-3 hours at the House so fatigue was well settled in dips feeling strong too like them.Dozing off as I type this so more rest and should be back in tomorrow for Deads \:D/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My workouts have not been reflecting how I have felt all week, it's been quite the opposite. Been tired and sick all week not feeling like training and taking a few days off and picking it up a day later. Did yesterdays session today and felt awesome under the bar.Had no issues with 160 what so ever will stick a vid up soon, my RPM knee wraps feel great I like the how they feel and give me more confidence don't think 150 phases me anymore like it did in Smolov mental barrier broken.Bench was good too still getting a right shoulder niggle which we both think is due to me switching to wide stance Bench so i'm going back to middle finger on rings which is my strongest stance anyhow and 120 gave me no worries nice and quick off every set.Was pretty f*@ked after those 2 so wrapped up after PC's and off to Nandos for a feed.Week 4 come at me.

Squats were not on at all 160 was a struggle was very gassed by the 4th set tried to make the last rep deep and got stapled for the 1st time since comp wasn't very happy with that and wanted to save some energy for the big bench session so I called one set short and moved onto bench.Bit of redemption here all set/reps felt strong and fast only struggled on the last rep of 135kgs had a stall and I thought I had it then my spotter grabbed the bar so we will never know...Watched the vid and the bar was traveling forward a tad so maybe a good call but I still would prefer to grind it out and have it fall on my chest then to cut it short.PC's were pretty choice not sure if I have done 60kg before felt strong even though was well fatigued by now.Dips are good fun like wearing the House bling.This week was always going to be tough so just need to grind through it then it's deload YUSS.update on the body> I now have a niggly right knee, sore shoulder and still have the cold hanging around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cannot remember ever feeling this fatigued before and still carrying on to finish the sets Seriously though 5x5 @ 200 was the toughest thing I have done in this program yet but used my get out of jail free card on Tuesdays heavy squats so had to power on.Squats were tough aswell for a "light day" had to grind them out got depth etc ok but fark me. THEN we had heavy arse Pin Press to bang out which was almost to failure then move onto the deads. Cut the weighted chins out of today we were clocking up 3 hours at the House.Back to deads had about 2 sets @5 then was getting very tired on the 4th-5th reps so we made the call to drop the sets to 3 and going on with that until we finished our prescribed 25reps @ that weight. Hence why we took so long but was the only way to get it done and we didn't need to cut reps out ended up doing my last 10 reps as follows 3,3,4,1 Done dusted home food sleep.

Better not hold me back I got 145 3x3 in a few weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Attacked squats with vengeance 165 for 9 reps (3x3) no wraps necessary felt awesome. Looking back 2 weeks ago when I was failing 160 x5 x1 felt pretty choice. Drizzt smashing out his 200 or 205 with no wraps also was just great to see I don't think either of us would have thought this possible so early in the program.Seems I can't have a good Squats AND Bench day, wasn't too pleased with my shoulder but pushed on got through the sets ok.135 felt much better than last time @5 so cannot complain.Rest was standard dips again tugging on the shoulder didn't go over 20kgs.
