Got some pretty good advice on how to setup. I'm sure I can make this weight as on the second attempt I got it about halfway up - been feeling like crap all day so as long as I'm good next week, I'll defo make it.

Back Squat:
40kg x2
50kg x2
60kg x2
70kg x2

Kinda hard tbh but my front squat is feeling very solid. I might start using a belt for sets above 90% on backsquat. I've done this weight for 5x5 in the past which is annoying

OHP:
30kg x3
40kg x3
45kg x3
50kg x1 (PR)
40kg x9

50 wasn't even that grindy, upper body progress has been pretty consistent

Up your lower body volume, not seeing enough of it where you typically do at least two upper body accessory movements each day. (Oly lifts don't count as lower imo)

I think you're right, but I have been squatting 3 times a week for the past 3 weeks or so. Doing some extra pulls should help cos I haven't pulled anything that heavy in months

I might be struggling with the back squat simply because I'm only doing it once a week but I don't see myself doing it twice a week along with fronts twice a week currently without a decent calorific surplus. I'm still maintaining without major problems with progression, at least with upper body. Gunna finish this programme and see what my numbers are first

You might aswell jump into a surplus and get to it tbh, you won't have this kind of freedom as you get older :p: Make the most of it. Much smarter to cut with reduced training frequency if you had to choose.

Ahh man I really don't wanna go into surplus just yet cos I usually just get fat lool. I've lost 7kg and I'm not even lean at all atm. Think I'll stick to maintenance for at least a few more weeks and see what happens

60kg x(1+2.5) (PR)

Screwed up recovery on 3rd jerk at 60kg. Shoulders were feeling pretty bad even at 40kg, so I wasn't keen on sitting in the split position for too long. I.e. Basically I'm sure I can do 3 solid reps when I'm 100%.

Snatch Pulls:
40kg 2x3
50kg x3

30kg x3
40kg x2

Knew I would suffer on these due to recent shoulder strains, didn't bother with AMRAP.
