This weeks training has been feeling like crap most likely due to exams, lack of sleep, lack of food, increase in stress.

Smash the exams and use training sessions for the good endorphins they produce. Smash through them and exams will be over in no time.

Squatted today 127.5 x 8 on the final set. Then did 5 sets of 10 @ 70kg paused beltless. Really focussing on exploding out the hole (that's sounds so wrong lol). Ended with some leg extensions. Happy with the squat progress recently.
Been trying pre workout recently got C4 it's okay but not amazing. Still prefer an energy drink pre workout.
On my 531 week this week. Then a well deserved deload before starting my next cycle.

Had actually been considering trying out some pre workout, I try to just have a coffee or two, but it isn't always practical. C4 was like the only pre that I knew though.

Try caffeine tablets, I think 100-150mg is about a strong cup of coffee. Alternatively just knock back coffee granules with water as a chaser

Last few weeks have been hectic. Gym has really suffered, haven't been eating/sleeping or training properly or consistently. But exams are finished (well till my delayed sits in August).
Squat today was kinda crap 125 x 7 but I haven't squatted in like 2/3 weeks so not too bad.
But at home now so it's just eat, train, sleep, recover and repeat. Also adding one more upper body day (bench and press), as I've just put a bet down with some friends to hit 100kg on the bench so need to up the game.

1rm are
152.5 squat (Squatted 155 but decided to be a little conservative)
182.5 deadlift
87.5 bench
Accessory exercises Dumbbell rows, military press and lat pulldowns
Yeah the excel spreadsheet works everything out for you pretty much. Just need to calculate numbers for accessory lifts which I'm doing at the moment through trial and error I know roughly what I can do but need to know exactly as the prescribed reps are 8-12 for 4 sets so need to find weight I can do that with as I only know my 1rm and 5rm for those lifts.
Weeks 1 is Moderate difficulty Muscular conditioning
Monday
Squats122.5x6x4
Deads 145x6x2
and some calf raises and extentions
Felt tiring but comfortable as I'm not use to this level of volume but I should adapt to it by next weeks or so.
Apologies for the lack of updates again. No excuse I'm just lazy.
Anyway it's week 3 this week so moving on to lower volume and higher intensity.
Squats
132.5 x 6, 5, 5
Deadlifts
160 x 5,5
Weight felt comfortable. Felt I was focussed and in the zone. Making good progress. Interesting to see how bench is as I've heard a lot of people claiming Canditos programme isn't too good for bench but will have to wait and see If that holds true for myself. Hopefully not.

Sure but its got to be conventional. No cheaty cheaty sumo here

Sure, I'm expecting progress to slow as I get deeper into the cut but little bit of competition is always good.
Standard GBPF/IPF rules and video must be posted to confirm okay?
