Grats on the bench.

Nice to see a fellow hockey player as well. I highly advise getting liquid chalk, it's a few quid for huge deadlift progress.

Our lifts seem relatively similar, in to watch.

Did you play hockey at Cambridge? I played for college and uni in recent years, there's a good chance I've played with/against you if you did!

Yep. Which college and when? PM if you don't want public.

Yesterday:
Press
45kg*5
52.5kg*5
57.5kg(5+)*5
Assist - 50*9, 47.5*7, 45*7, 42.5*9, 40*10

All the assistance with fat gripz. May have gone for too big an increase (40 to 50 is big), but felt pretty big. Will try doing assistance at 45kg next time.

Today, hockey match. Cold air in my lungs, but felt not too unfit.

Robinson. 2009-2013. How about you?

Match today was a disaster. Hour and a half journey for umpires to call it off after 15 mins as it was getting cold and the pitch might freeze.

Was a bit ill yesterday and had driven most of the weekend, but figured I should squat anyway.
Squat
60kg*5
80kg*5
92.5kg*5
105kg(5+)*8
Assist - 60*10,10,10,10,10

Squats weren't too bad for how I felt. Would've liked 10-12, but I was ok with this.

Girton, till 2011.

Today:
Bench
20kg*5

67.5kg*5
75kg(5+)*12
Assist - 60,57.5,55,52.5,50*10
DB Rows - 36*10,10,10,10,10

Assistance bench was all fat gripz. Too lazy to do any rows with them, and still not brilliant health. Wanted 15 on bench, but settled at 12.

Back home for Christmas, so fewer sessions likely. This was bigger than I'd intended, but hey. No fat gripz anywhere, but pretty pleased with how today went, particularly benching after a lot of pressing.

Monster pressing that session. And everything was great.

Awesome session

Please tell me your xmas present is chalk

Otherwise I'm hunting you down and forcing you to spend the £6 on the chalk! :tongue:

Cheers lads.

Parkrun today. 25:10 in non-running shoes and rather cold weather. Calves cramped up slightly after, but I think that was down to the shoes. Tried to take it relatively easy, so OK with that tbh.

Plenty foam rolling. Lower back was ruined by midway through my squat assistance sets, so didn't bother with any deadlift assistance. Pretty pleased with everything, although would've liked one or two more reps on deadlift, and maybe another on press.

Very solid lifting. Can't believe you did all the assistance as well. I'd have skipped that if doing it all in one day.

Well, I skipped the secondary assistance exercise :P
But given Christmas eating, I felt obliged... Couple of hours in the gym made the cost seem more reasonable too!

Weight loss comp at work. I helpfully Christmas bulked (plus, admittedly, drinking a *lot* of water before weighing) to get myself in at 97kg. Gentle gym sesh today with a guy from work to see how busy the place was. Answer: busy. Did what stuff was quickly free:

DB Bench

20kg*10
30kg*10
32kg*8
34kg*6

DB Incline
20kg*10,12,15

DB Seated Press
16kg*10,12,12

1000kg FTOH
40kg*25 - 1:22

Bunch of pulldowns, low rows, few pushdowns, 2 sets of 10 dips.

500m row
1:45.6

Not too bad. Pretty chuffed with the 1000kg time!

MMA last night. Plenty of getting choked. Fun times.

This morning - gym. Bit of an all round session today:

OHP
50kg*10

Squat
50kg*10
80kg*10

1000kg bench
50kg*20 - 0:28

Clean and Push Press

82.5kg*1

Fat gripz deadlifts
80kg*2
60kg*10

1000kg FTOH
40kg*25 - 1:21.65

Then after work, just under 4k run at 5:00/km. So unfit...

Good session this morning.

OHP
20kg*5
47.5kg*5
52.5kg*5
60kg(5+)*6
Assist - 45*10,10,10,10,10

Sets before 60kg were with a slightly bent bar and cleaned up. Really pleased with the 60 set and the assistance (all fat gripz). Need to be careful not to lean back when tired though. Definitely happened towards the end of the assistance, and probably on the 6th rep of 60kg too.
