deadlifts went really good, even though i missed a couple of reps. highlighted a weak spot which i gotta fix now. seems like im weak just below the knee for a few cm so end up getting some mad death shakes. anyway, no biggie, felt easier than last week whcih was same reps/sets but 10kg lighter

 

deadlift

70 x 5

120 2 x 5 

150 x 3

180 x 1

195 x 4

195 x 5 (video)

195 x 4 

 

my best ever 5 on deadlift was 215x5 @ 122 bw and that was a rpe 10. this was 195x5 @ 109 bw which was also rpe 10. so not ideal but not end of world. getting stronger without getting heavier

 

deficit deadlift

160 5x3 easy enough

 

hack squat machine (first time using this particular one, its hard)

80kg 3x10

Happy they are coming back. Very hard to get used to not having as much gut to make me tight, actually gotta think about what I'm doing. They are rough and a lot to work on but positives are I'm getting stronger and injury is gone mostly. Video of 205 below.

You pulled 230 at 110 before you even asked me for help. What do you think has caused the loss of strength?

 

exactly man. weight loss, 2x bad low back injuries. cutting back on supplementation majorly, life dramas, etc, all kind of added up.

 

bench is going very good, squat and deadlift are bad, but they are improving quickly

still lifting, change of plans because really wasnt where i needed to be and was having bad technical problems in squat and deadlift and they were just going crap.

 

not competing at gpc summer cup in 2 weeks anymore, competing in WRPF NSW states 29 april. doing everything i can to PB all 3 lifts on that date. 

 

back on a high volume growing program which should be way way better this time i wont be in calorie deficit.

 

 

focus next few weeks is to really fix the problems im having in squat and fix weaknesses because it was bloody depressing to go from squatting 260 @ 120 to nearly being crushed by a 210 triple at 110..

 

last week went really well but didnt post it, but will post yesterdays session onwards
