eurgh I felt horrible during this workout. For some reason I've been feeling really tired and anxious for no reason yesterday and today. Felt like I just couldn't put any effort or focus into my sets. Even worse was that my tailbone felt funny which isn't a good sign. Seems like only deadlift was affected significantly though. Guess I can't win them all.

Surprisingly push press was pretty good however. Might be because I used wrist wraps today as I got them as a present ^_^


Nice Deadlifts!

+ some random reverse hypers

hmm apparently I did get stronger from last week! Might also be because the wrist wraps now allow me to take a nice narrow grip on my squats so I actually have a nice shelf for the bar to rest on. Cardio was **** today. Was gasping after that last set of 4 squats lol. I am slowly turning into a stereotypical powerlifter with **** cardio, always low reps and fat. All I need now is a beard/tattoos.

Think I need to work on my deadlift mobility a bit. I didn't feel like I could get into a good position from a deficit which meant that I was basically doomed to round my back from the start. For some reason it was also hard to keep my supinated arm straight too from the position.

Also I did say that I was gonna do squats yesterday but 1) I was actually sore from walking around a lot up and down Bathwick hill the day before 2) Gonna have to move next weeks Monday session to Sunday so that the weekly schedule isn't disrupted too much from the holidays hence I'd basically increasing my frequency this week from this anyway.

Decent performance for deadlift considering how I felt warming up and the fact that I'm normally a bit more weaker from Monday and Tuesdays high stress workouts. Did feel pretty tough today though especially the pin squats.

Pretty gay that I have to do Monday's workout on Sunday. Will probably be toast still and not see any nice gains like I normally do.
Friday:

2ct Pause Bench Press:

107.5*4 @ 8
107.5*4 @ 8.5

1 Inch Deficit Deadlift:

200*1
220*3*2 @ 7.5
220*2 @ 7.5/8

e1rm = 253

hmm moving Monday to Sunday was indeed a good call. Had a really good bench and deadlift session with strength increase and a lot of sets completed with minimal fatigue! Didn't really take too long resting between sets too. Deadlift was about 4-4:30mins and Bench about 3-3:30mins.

Also just realised I've had five lower body sessions this week with Deadlifting on four of those. Not bad.

Monday:

2ct Pause CGBP:

110*2 @ 8
110*2 @ 8/8.5
105*2*2 @ 7.5
105*2 @ 7.5/8

105*2 @ 8.5
100*2*2 @ 7
100*2 @ 7.5
100*2*2 @ 7

e1rm = 119

Think I'm gonna go back to some Oly squats. Getting bored of the 7ct pause squats and they've slowed down in momentum.

Also saw a girl today who did a 200kg glute bridge. Intrigued, I went over to ask her how much she deadlifts. Apparently 140kg so she is pretty strong. Still it does seem like anyone who does do glute bridges looks a lot stronger than they actually are.
Wednesday:

Deadlift w/belt:

220*1
240*3 @ 8
232.5*3 @ 7.5

e1rm = 280

Push Press:

Pin Squat:

162.5*1
172.5*2 @ 8
167.5*2*2 @ 7.5

e1rm = 196

Sweet, I got GAINNNZZZZZ for Christmas. Deadlift was good but it was one of those days where I felt like I was slow but had the energy to rep stuff out. Technically only +1kg on the previous 250*2 @ 8.5 but progress is progress especially considering my e1rm has been a bit lower over the past few weeks.

Technically 92.5*2 is a push press PB and I did it for 5 ez sets so that's very nice. Suddenly I seem to be able to do quite a bit of pressing volume with little fatigue.

Pin squat was good too as it's another +1kg best on the e1rm. Surprised at how good I am at saving a squat with a good morning. Like I nearly fell over with the second rep of the second set but I got it back and then it just zoomed to lockout like it was nothing.

Tbh I'm not sure if I regret getting mine. Customs stinged me with a ~£11 charge so in the end I had to pay like £31 for a £12 shirt just because it came from 'murica lol.

Also how comes not blog updates from you? :frown:
Saturday:

2ct Pause Bench Press:

102.5*1
112.5*3 @ 8
110*3 @ 8
107.5*3*3 @ 7.5

e1rm = 131

Snatch Grip Deadlift:

160*2*4
170*1

+ some reverse hypers

Think I'm going to split up what would be normally Monday and Tuesday's workout this week into three due to my gym being closed on New years eve and New years day. Don't really want to not be in the gym for 3 whole days. Honestly feels like I detrain a bit when I'm not in the gym for a couple days e.g. like today.

Think I also chose a **** bar for both of today's main exercises. First one for bench felt like it was bent and the second one for deadlifts felt like there was no knurling towards the edges of the bar so as you can expect it makes the snatch grips a lot harder. Actually wanted to do a bit more on them today but I was really struggling to hold on :frown:
Sunday:

Squat w/belt:

185*1
200*3 @ 9
190*3 @ 8
187.5*3 @ 8

e1rm = 227

2ct Pause CGBP:

100*1
107.5*3 @ 8
107.5*3 @ 7.5
107.5*3 @ 8
107.5*3 @ 8.5
105*3 @ 8

e1rm = 127

Hmm squat felt a bit weak today. Might be because of doing snatch grips yesterday or probably because my squat volume has been a bit low lately.

Ok bench performance given that I was sore from yesterday. Got quite a few sets in.

Also think I've found a training partner. Pretty strong guy too as he's probably like mid 80's BW and has ~220kg ATG oly squat.

All I'm doing atm is regaining the strength I've lost from work :P. Most recently I've done 100kgx8@9RPE competition bench no handoff. I keep hurting my knee when ever I front squat so I think I'm just gonna scrap them.

Ah that's a real shame. When I was on placement I had to do annoying hours. Get up at 7am, finished work by 5pm then the time it takes to do gym and go home it'll be 7:30pm, after eating and shower I then have like ~ an hour to relax unless I want to feel like crap the next day.
Monday:

1 Inch Deficit Deadlift:

200*1
217.5*3 @ 7.5
217.5*2*3 @ 8
217.5*3 @ 8/8.5

e1rm = 257.5

2ct Pause Bench Press:

110*1
117.5*2 @ 8.5
117.5*2 @ 9
115*2 @ 8.5/9

e1rm = 131

Deficits are at an all time best. Best 0.5 inch deficit e1rm was 256kg (I think) so that's ~1.5kg and 0.5 inch more ROM. Maybe I should've gone for 220kg today :smile:
