Squatted 160x3 for 3 sets, thats the heaviest Ive ever done by 5 kg. Next week it will be 165x3.

Ive also discovered the secret training aid of scandinavian powerlifting

Finnish metal just makes everything feel lighter!

What were your PB's after each cycle? In my first cycle of it atm. Hoping to hit 85kg as 1RM and 80kg x 3.

Well done, btw.

6 weeks after hitting DL 1RM of 75kg, tonight I can't resist a little happy dance after a 1RM of 105kg... Just sayin'...

Thanks Hanley!!

Manned up and went back training today, 5th time since mid august, down from 4 or 5 times a week.

I was so pissed off going to gym today. On the bus, the guy in front of me smelled of stale booze and behind smelled of stale cigarettes. Get in gym, its legs day for me and leg presses are all being used. I say fúck it I'll just squat.

Now I haven't squatted properly for about 6 months. I planned on going light and slowly ramping up. Before I knew it I'm ramping up over my body weight and it was like I was rekindled with a long lost love.

I had to stop myself from going too heavy so I can return with my power perfects on Friday to test PRs. Going to reprogram back to a 5x5 program. Nothing massages my ego as squatting.

120kg Squat with more left in me
80kg Bench with not much left!

Pulled a 150kg DL on Monday but can't count it as form was appalling. (Was okay at 135kg)

3 PBs in one week at 77.5kg.

Happy out

Squat 1RM @ 125kg
Bench 1RM @ 87.5kg
Deadlift 1RM unchanged (135kg - form is king!)

Every session this week has had a PB. The bench 1RM was ridiculously surprising, almost 10%!

imnothim

200kg x3, no no no deadlifts.
also a 140kg x8 x3 squats, not heavy by any means but a nice rep pb 3 times.

I ran 5x300m in 43-45s tonight off 5 mins break. It's not amazing by any means, but it's a huge improvement on similar sessions I've done over the past few months, since I started training hard again after 3 years of not doing athletics.

Positive trend FTW.

70Kg x 3 hang clean and press this morning, even had a nice man come up to me and say its nice to see some decent lifts being done...i dont know if he thought hang clean press was a decent lift...or i was making a decent go of it.....im taking it as a compliment though!!!;) It unreal the little boost you get from a nice comment!!!!!

I woke up today with no DOMS after squatting 200x2, 160x15, a rake load of GMs and lunges and a 65 x50 squat yesterday. That's my biggest achievement to date.

On the 65 x 50...does a little boredom creep in or is it after everthing else so the struggle within keeps the mind occupied?

Noticed this in you log and was gonna ask. Whats the reason for the volume of reps? Out of curiousity!

Spent a large portion waiting for it to hurt, wondering when etc and it never came. Was weird.

It's what the cube programming says to do, so I did it. Not sure on the reasoning tbh.

I put on weight lifting shoes and tested 1rm

Got 140kg squat (could went slightly higher but playing it safe)

deadlift was 130kg. Grip issues and I never really pushed my deadlift.

Was now to find a program and push past this weights

I presume it's a referance to Ivan Chakarovs training mantra

no wraps, no belt, no spotters

not really sure of the value of no spotter for deadlifts though.

I'm very much aware what is being referenced. It just makes no sense.

Presume he means double overhand / no hook, no chalk, no belt.

Right just 2 no's, obv a spotter isn't required on a d/l. I said no,no,no cos a lot a folk claim raw but wear a belt or straps or whatever.
It was just a Figure of speech to emphasise that I was unequipped.

Thanks gym guys, you ruined my daily achievment.

70kg DB Pushpress, Couldn't control it fully on the way down and ended up destroying the DB handle

I'm pretty sure I did a front lever for a couple of secs this morning. I videoed it so was able to review my form afterwards.

First time I've ever done one and haven't even attempted one in a couple of years. I've been doing a lot of heavy ab work (suitcase deadlifts and weighted ab rollouts) and weighted pullups which I think have helped.

According to wikipedia

The move is rated A in the gymnastic code of points, a scale from A to F, with F being the most difficult. In the 1960s it was rated B, when the levels of difficulty were A, B, C.

Fair play, seriously tough move. Post the vid. Got my first ever flag yesterday could only hold it for a few seconds though.
