Notes:

Squats were good last cycle had to put the suit bottoms on hip[ twinge,. This cycle no hip stuff just lost count well probably did 7 sets all up in the book I had 6 ticks, but was not sure if I ticked a set twice unlikely.

Bench felt a lot better and stronger just a long session suppose to be Good Friday?.

Weekly Analysis:

Lifts for Week: 281

+ 90 (Board Work)

A good week all round in all the equipped sets, a better performance needed in the Bench Shirt will sort that out.

Used my comp Squat Suit to work it in more, have put a bit of size on.

Highlights:

Strength is up a fair bit from the same time last cycle, I am getting more accustomed to Boris. I am in a lot better condition to do the Volume and Recovery has been good, mind you I have to work at it.

Keep them Young Bulls Honest

I have Qualified for the Worlds the last few years but may look at M3s, MIIs are doing hi 700s, mid 600s last place. MIIIs 697.5 - 580, so might save it for next year on M3 next year.

Notes:

Thought this was an easy day on paper, the Bench went on for ever it seemed like that. Deads work sets were pleasing good speed worked on a couple of things moved the toes out a bit got the hips closer to the bar felt good. Just with this way toes out lockout becomes an issue you become unstable at the top so technique is really really important. Might be a work in progress.
