    Squat: 1x1 @ 172.5kg and 2x3 @ 137.5kg. New PR and it was a 9. Sunk it too. Knee sleeves definitely making squats easier. Very happy.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 110kg, 1x1 @ 100kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Top single more like 9.5

    Leg press: AMRAP @ 220kg for 11. I'll take it.

    Chest press: AMRAP @ 100kg for 10. Grand.

    Chest supported row/lateral raise: 45kg/12.5kgs for 10/8, 9/7. Grand.

    Squat: 1x1 @ 160kg and 2x3 @ 127.5kg. Just wasn't feeling it this morning. Friday's PB had set my expectations high but I can safely say there wasn't another rep at this weight so at least I didn't undershoot. In hindsight, I think I was placing the weight of my foot a bit far back, which could explain the lack of power.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 107.5kg, 1x1 @ 97.5kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Bench also felt sluggish but I tried pushing through but overshot top single.

    Leg press: AMRAP @ 230kg for 7. Grand.

    Chest press: AMRAP @ 100kg for 8. Grand.

    Chest supported row/lateral raise: 47.5kg/12.5kgs for 11/9. Ran out of time to do any more

    Deadlift: 1x1 @ 207.5kg and 2x3 @ 165kg. 2.5kg PB and an overshoot at 10. It moved pretty slowly and form gave out a little. I didn't push my hips far enough forward when wedging and they shot back and up an inch before the bar left the ground. Have something to work on.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 107.5kg, 1x1 @ 97.5kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Top single flew up so possible undershoot.

    Skipped chest press and banded 45 raises due to time.

    Lateral raise: 1x10 @ 12.5kgs.

    One arm DB row: 1x10 @ 40kg.

    Squat: 1x1 @ 167.5kg and 2x3 @ 135kg. It was possibly a 9.5. Squats weren't clicking this morning so glad I got to at least a half decent number.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 110kg, 1x1 @ 100kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Like this time last week, top single more like 9.5.

    Leg press: AMRAP @ 230kg for 9.

    Chest press: AMRAP @ 100kg for

    Chest supported row/lateral raise: 45kg/12.5kgs for 13/10.

    I haven't been timing rest periods for the last few sessions and I've been running out of time pretty easily. Need to get back to that.

    Day off work so could afford to take my time today.

    Squat: 1x1 @ 175kg and 2x3 @ 140kg. 2.5kg PB and with room. Originally went for 170 but it moved far too easily so I had to try with more. May actually be getting the hang of RPE.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 110kg, 1x1 @ 100kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Was going to try for 112.5 but 110 was far too hard.

    Leg press: AMRAP @ 230kg for 7. Not moving from this number.

    Chest press: AMRAP @ 100kg for 10. I'll take it.

    One arm DB row/lateral raise: 2x8 @ 40kg/12.5kgs.

    Another day off = taking my time.

    Deadlift: 1x1 @ 200kg and 2x3 @ 160kg. Didn't record top set as I was using it as a gauge for what the next set weight would be but it moved slowly enough that I called it a 9. Form felt off; bracing was ok but I just couldn't find my centre of gravity and never felt balanced. Weird.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 105kg, 1x1 @ 95kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Recorded the 105 and noticed my elbows flaring coming right off the chest. Something to work on.

    Skipped chest press and banded 45 raises due to time.

    Banded 45 raises: 20 with 1 red band. Declined to use two reds as I wasn't sure I was extending fully but on the flip side, 1 red wasn't enough and I only stopped at 20 because of the motion getting to me.

    Chest press: 100kg x 8. Adjusted seating because I've noticed my shoulders and elbows getting achey after this and now I'm probably capable of less reps. Safety first.

    Lateral raise/one arm DB row: 12.5/50kg for 8/9, 7/9. Laterals sucked but rows were surprisingly ok.

    Had a corporate team building day yesterday and my Garmin said I did the equivalent of 41 flights of stairs. Legs were a little tired.

    Squat: 1x1 @ 165kg and 2x3 @ 132.5kg. Bracing wasn't clicking this morning so I'm lucky to hit the top number I did under the circumstances.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 105kg, 1x1 @ 95kg and 2x3 @ 90kg. Just felt weak.

    Skipped leg press and chest press due to time.

    One arm DB row/lateral raise: 40kg/10kgs for 10/10.

    Not a great day. But to put things in perspective, squatting double bodyweight was once an achievement and I'm doing it at least twice a week recently, so can't complain overall.

    Not doing any training on the bank holiday.

    Testing maxes today. Wary that I've had a busy few days involving travel and painting the house, so I'm not rested and nutrition has been all over the place.

    Squat: up to 165kg. Disappointed. Again, bracing simply wasn't clicking and despite taking my time with warmups, I couldn't figure out where it was going wrong. Stopped there as although I still haven't failed a squat in 7+ years, I didn't want to blow my load for deadlifts.

    Bench: up to 110kg. Only mildly disappointed here because at least I reached my max.

    Deadlift: up to 190kg. It felt incredibly heavy and I thought it was pointless to go any further because no way was anything beyond 200kg leaving the floor. Take the L and move on.

    I've been doing pretty low volume for quite a while so need to get back to more reps, starting next week.

    Random day of various lifts I haven't done in a while and keeping it somewhat light. Deload, pivot, greasing the groove or whatever.

    Beltless SSB: 3x8 @ 120kg. Grand, aside from very last rep which was horrendously bad.

    Flat DB bench: 3x8 @ 30kgs. Grand.

    Single leg extension: 30kg w 30s rest between legs for 10/10, 10/10, 10/9. Started fine but hard at the end.

    Hamstring curls: 30kg 2x12. Grand.

    One hand cable row: 3x8 @ 53kg. Too easy.

    DB skullcrushers: 3x8 @ 12.5kgs. Grand.

    Hammer curls: 2x15 @ 10kgs. Grand.

    Enjoyable morning.

    Squat: 1x8 @ 140kg and 2x8 @ 130kg w 4 mins rest. Big volume PB and form perfect. Bracing clicked.

    TNG bench: 1x8 @ 90kg and 2x8 @ 82.5kg w 3 mins rest. I'm an idiot. Meant to do flat DB bench but wrote it down wrong.

    Leg extension: 70kg for 13, 13, 11. Haaard.

    One arm DB row/lateral raise: something light for one set each because I ran out of time and was drained.

    Squats absolutely drained me and despite giving myself rest, I was noticeably weaker afterwards. Also kicking myself with bench because it caused me to run out of time for accessories

    Started the day badly by cramping my leg while standing on a packed train. Pain persisted throughout the day so was wary it could affect deadlifts.

    Deadlift: 1x6 @ 167.5kg and 3x6 @ 155kg w 3 mins rest. Messed up top set because I used a cheap bar and no chalk so had to chalk up mid set, so it was more like a cluster set. Either way, form felt good but these were physically draining.

    OHP: 50kg for 9, 6, 5 w 3 mins rest. That first set came outta nowhere.

    Lat pulldown: 59kg for 3x10 w 2 mins rest. Was trying to get mid back with a squeeze but may have gone too heavy; was able to get the reps in but they weren't as strict as I had hoped.

    DB skullcrushers/hammer curls: 12.5/12.5kg for 10/10, 10/10, 10/10 w 1 mins rest. Went too light.

    Good day all round.
