gazza Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 W10 D2 1/10/20 Bench 45kg x5 55kg x5 65kg x3 75kg x3 85kg x3 95kg x5+ 6 good reps here, bit left in the tank but no spotter so it stayed in the tank. Happy with this though, fucked shoulder/arm is holding up well. Seated flye machine 3x10 Squeeze press 3x10 Low to high crossover 3x10 Cable crossover ladder amrap x32 Squeeze press was done on a medium incline.

gazza Posted October 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 W10 D3 2/10/20 Squats 72.5kg x5 87.5kg x5 105.5kg x3 122.5kg x3 140kg x3 157.5kg x5+ hit 5 reps here but the entire block was shit. Back of my right knee, calf and hammy have been playing up for a couple of months now and didn't want to play ball today. Did some time on the exercylce and called it a day. Still hit the minimum rep target so I'll take the positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted October 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Been buggered all last week with a gastro bug and now my right hammy has spat the dummy as well. Had a good solid 10 weeks will look to test the waters towards the end of the week. Enjoying the Wendlers type reps and percentages on bench and deads but my squats really aren't happening the way I'd hoped. Will look at tweaking them a bit.

gazza Posted October 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 W11, D4&5 (sort of) Squats 3x8 @ 100kg 3x3 @150kg Bench 3x5 @ 60kg, 70kg, 80kg 3x3 @ 90kg Been a bit of mad week but made sure I got the big 3 done. Have not been happy with squats for a while so I've backed off to work on my technique. 1st set at 150kg was a bit iffy depth wise but the last 2 felt good, slight pause at the bottom. Right knee, calf, hammy was feeling good today. Happy with bench, all sets were pretty easy. Ruined shoulder feels good, form felt nice and tight.

Sorry to hear that Don't be sorry man, that's life. Bench has been a long time coming back. Lots of dumbbells and Smith machine stuff. Never been a big bencher, did 120kg for 6 reps in a previous life lol. Wanted to rep 100kg, which I did. Now looking to build on that, be happy with a single at 120kg now. Trying to build my deads and Squats mainly so I can have a crack at a comp. Never done one before so it should be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza Posted October 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 W12, D1 Deads 120kg x5 140kg x5 160kg x5 3x3 @ 190kg Dumbell row 3x10 Straight arm pulldowns 3x10 Incline Dumbell curl 3x12 Procrastination level = expert!! Took a lot of effort to drag my tired old arse to the gym after a couple of main days at work. First set of 190kg felt heavy as f*ck but the last set flew up. Not sure what was going on, took a bit of time to get my head space right. Hit my numbers though so definitely a win ohjoshua 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bench was good, bit sore after deads the day before though. Had a spotter for the last set of 3 but didn't need them, it actually went better than my first set lol.

gazza Posted November 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Still fucken crook! Struggling with the head cold from hell, but at least now my head no longer feels like it's going to explode and I'm not constantly sneezing. Plant to at least get a squat session in this week.

gazza Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 18/11/20 First foray in to the gym for the best part of 3 weeks. Did some Squats and bench, nothing too nutty. Squats 3x8 @100KG 3x3 @140kg Bench 3x5 @ 60kg, 70kg, 80kg 3x3 @ 90kg Everything felt ok. Right knee/hammy/calf still a bit niggly but not too bad.

Why do you do 3*8 100kg for squats and then 3*3 140kg? is the 3*8 a warm up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to get some volume at a low weight and focus on my form a bit. Struggling with finding a good groove with squats, have been for ages. Depth is not there, so doing pauses on the sets of 8. I'm planning on having a crack at my first ever powerlifting comp next year and my squat depth needs work. Kinda just making it up as I go along.

All deads were beltless today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just haven't been updating on here, only getting one or two sessions in a week. Letting some niggles settle down. Busy with the silly season and trips away with the kids. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
