Very nice solid session. No big headline figures but this is where the real gains are made.

Squat gains. Bench PB but no better than 90*5 tbh.
No video as use music on phone to psych myself up. Now I know I have 180 comfortably I'll get a video at some point.

You're surely one of your gyms stronger guys like I am in mine?
Ain't no-one catching the other guy though

Urm, depends when I train. On Saturdays there's usually five of us there and I'm the only non international powerlifter.
Not including cardio bunnies etc.

Volume
Felt like crap, exhausted. Wanted to go to bed as soon as I left work...
Squat
145*5,5,5,5,5
Think this is a 5*5 PB. Equal PB at least. Good considering how tired I was.
Bench
82.5*5,5,5,5,5
Deficit deadlift
140*3
160*5
Saw a guy trap bar deadlift 245 for reps. Highest I've seen at my gym.

13 mm 4 in lever belt, and coyote shoes.
New belt = pain. Especially when it's potentially on 1 notch too tight as I set it up in my room before the gym without realising how thing would change once I got lifting. Derp.
Off on holiday tomorrow for a week. Will start a cut and continue to break in belt once back.
The shoes were great though, good buy.

Yea, expect pain and lots of bruising and more pain. You can find guides to breaking in belts online. Basically bend it back and forth.

I never had any issues with mine.
Breaking in belt. Volume
Squat
100*5
120*4,4
140*3,3,4,3,4,3
100 AMRAP
10. Arms hurt so stopped. Low bar isn't the most comfortable position to hold for ages
100*3 belt too painful
100*5 beltless. Much easier and lower. Hope belt softens soon....
Deadlift
60*5
Belt on
100*5
140*5
180*3,3
Deadlifts with belt makes me feel like my eyes are about to pop out. Dat pressure.
Forgot to mention, am training with a friend tomorrow so will do upper body stuff then. Easing into it after a while off too. Also thinking of running canditos method as want to train 4x a week once hockey season is over. Texas method was good but I need more than 3x a week when I'm not doing other sport tbh.
