    Deadlift: 2x5 @ 160kg. Recorded first set and form was 100%. Delighted with it. However, it was hard. 2nd set, I got tired halfway through and tried to push through it, but ended with 2 ugly reps and mild discomfort in my back. Had planned 4 sets but ended it there. Im hindsight, going up 10kg a week is too much too soon. Have to be smarter.

    Bench: 85kg for 4x6. Grand.

    Hamstring curl: 40kg for 1x8 and AMRAP (10). Ok.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 2x6. Hard.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: 4x5 @ 120kg. Grand. Form only ok. Didn't quite get into the groove I was in last week.

    Spoto press: 97.5kg for 4x3. A little shakey, but grand.

    Hamstring curl: 40kg for 1x10 and AMRAP (13). Happy.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 2x8. Happy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: single @ 107.5kg and 2x1 @ 102.5kg. The single was accidental because I misloaded and thought I was suddenly really weak. I had meant to do 3x2 @ 102.5 but I wrecked myself with the 107.5. Well at least I am back to having my comp max in me.

    Larsen press: 90kg for AMRAP (7). Grand. Possibly my heaviest Larsen?

    One arm DB row: 37.5kg for 2x8. Easier than last week.

    DB skullcrushers: 12.5kg for AMRAP (14). Happy.

    Hammer curls: 17.5kg for AMRAP (8). Could probably have done more but I rushed these.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Deadlift: 3x3 @ 160kg. Same weight but with rep range more manageable. Form not 100%.

    Bench: 87.5kg for 4x6. Ok.

    Hamstring curl: 45kg for 1x8 and 1x6. Hard.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 1x8 and 1x5. Ran out of steam.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Gonna try increase my squat/deadlift frequency from this week.

    Squat: 1x5 @ 130kg and 2x5 @ 120kg. Felt ok but a video (from a roughly hip height) made these look a tad high. Need to record from knee height so I know exactly what I'm doing.

    Stiff legged deadlift: 2x8 @ 100kg. Not sure if I'm doing these right. Just trying to conv with my hips higher and shins vertical. I think I should feel them in my hams but I don't think I did.

    Flat DB press: 3x8 @ 30kg. Good starting point.

    Chest supported row: 2x8 @ 60kg. Still hard.

    2ct bench: single @ 100kg and 2x3 @ 90kg . Just slowing things down so I don't get sloppy.

    Larsen press: 90kg for AMRAP (7). Was hoping for more but I'll take it.

    One arm DB row: 40kg for 1x8. Was running short on time.

    DB skullcrushers: 15kg for AMRAP (6). These are harder to progress than lateral raises.

    Hammer curls: 17.5kg for AMRAP (11). Very happy.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,947 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    How are things now with being able to push squats and deads up again?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    It's grand. I'm cautiously ramping things up. Trying to balance getting back to where i was and being careful. Wore a belt on Monday for the first time since May and it felt like I hadn't stopped.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,947 ✭✭✭✭Alf Veedersane


    Sweet. It can be hard to rein the impatience in.

    Not being able to is probably responsible for 90% of any injuries I've had.

    Bench looking good as well!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    It still sucks, but thanks. IrishPF recently posted the lift standards for representing Ireland at the bench worlds. If my bench (and the standards) doesn't go anywhere for the next 29 years, then I'll be eligible to represent Ireland as an M4

    Pause squat: 100kg for 2x3. Felt heavy enough to grow chin hairs but room for more.

    Deadlift: 1x3 @ 170kg and 2x3 @ 160kg . First time pulling with a belt in almost a year and it kinda threw me a bit. Made me get lazy with upper back tension, of all things.

    Weighted dips: 20kg for 2x10. Good place to start.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 1x8 and 1x6. Just lacked intent.

    Hamstring curl: 45kg for 6, 6. Just tired.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: 1x3 @140kg and 3x3 @ 125kg. Form on top set dodgy only ok but massively improves as backoffs went on.

    Stiff leg DL: 110kg for 2x8. Getting better

    Flat DB bench: 2x8 @ 32.5kg. Grand.

    Chest supported row: 2x8 @ 60kg. Intent came back.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: 1x3 @ 100kg and 2x3 @ 92.5kg. Happy with these. But my elbows were hurting after. Haven't recorded a bench set in ages do might need to start paying attention to a few things like forearm angle.

    Larsen press: 90kg for AMRAP (4). Dunno what happened. Just wiped.

    One arm DB row: 40kg for 2x8. A little sloppy.

    DB skullcrushers: 12.5kg for AMRAP (11). Ugh.

    Hammer curls: 17.5kg for AMRAP (10). I'll have to take it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Pause squat: 105kg for 2x3. Felt damn good.

    Deadlift: 1x1 @ 180kg and 2x5 @ 160kg. Felt heavy. Only recorded the 180 and although it felt kinda bad, it looked technically perfect. Torso remained rigid and in good position for the whole thing and bar + hips rose in unison. That's probably just called a good lift.

    Weighted dips: 25kg for 2x10. Starting to get hard.

    Hamstring curl: 45kg for 8, 6. Ugh.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 7, 4. Just wiped.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: 1x1 @ 145kg and 2x5 @ 125kg. Felt good. Fixed some shoulder/upper back issues by cueing to keep elbows close to my body.

    Stiff legged deadlift: 2x8 @ 115kg. Grand. Should probably record these some time to ensure I'm not making a mess of them.

    Flat DB press: 2x8 @ 35kg. Starting to get hard now.

    One arm DB row: 2x10 @ 35kg. Was running low on time so did something a little quicker.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Bench: 2x1 @ 105kg and 2x3 @ 95kg. Hard.

    Larsen press: 90kg for AMRAP (6). Better than last week.

    One arm DB row: 40kg for 2x8. A little tidier than last week.

    DB skullcrushers: 12.5kg for AMRAP (11). Rushed these.

    Hammer curls: 17.5kg for AMRAP (9). Also rushed. Not great.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Pause squat: 110kg for 2x3. Felt great.

    Deadlift: 1x3 @ 175kg and 2x3 @ 162.5kg. Loads of room in the tank.

    Weighted dips: 30kg for 2x10. Found it hard to stand up with the belt on and was convinced I'd fail, but I finished them.

    Hamstring curl: 45kg for 2x8. Finally.

    Chest supported row: 60kg for 8, 6. Still crap but better than last week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Squat: 1x3 @ 145kg and 3x3 @ 130kg . Everything felt awkward and sloppy. I shouldn't attempt to progress if this is what a bit of resistance does to me.

    Stiff legged deadlift: 2x8 @ 120kg . Still didn't record these but they're finally starting to get hard.

    Flat DB press: 37.5kg for 8, 7. Started to get sloppy today.

    Chest supported row: 50kg for 2x8. Took it easy because I didn't have confidence after the above.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Missed Wednesday due to "personal scheduling" error. Did 5x20 banded pushups with handles instead. Better than nothing I guess.

    Pause squat: 115kg for 2x3. Grand.

    Deadlift: 1x1 @ 195kg. I went up in 5s to see roughly where my max is. Form started to wane at 195, so stopped there. Feels like big scary 200 is in the tank if I need it.

    Incline DB press: 27.5kg for 2x8 and AMRAP (13). Racks were busy so did something else.

    Chest supported row: 55KG for 2x8. Grand.

    Hamstring curl: 45kg for 2x8. Wasn't a fluke last week.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Beltless SSB squat: 110kg for 3x6. Grand. Recorded one set and form was perfect.

    Beltless conv deadlift: 140kg for 3x6. Grand. Recorded one set and form needs improvement. Bar and hips moved together, but back position was inconsistent between reps

    TNG bench: 85kg for AMRAP (12). Was expecting 10, so happy with this.

    Lat pulldown: 71kg for 2x8 and AMRAP (13). Grand.

    Had crippling glute doms over the weekend. Just about ok by this morning.

    Sumo deadlift: 148kg for 8x3. Trying slightly wider stance. Easy weight but I found that the sets got easier as I went on? Maybe I got more efficient with my setup or something.

    RDL: 120kg for 3x8. Was thinking 120 would be ambitious after the above but it was fine to both move and hold.

    Bench: 80kg for 5x5

    DB row/hammer curls: 2x10 @ 32.5/15kg. Was meant to do 4 sets but was both tired and out of time.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    TNG bench: 1x8 @ 52.5kg, 1x6 @ 62.5kg, 2x4 @ 72.5 and 2x3 @ 85kg. Easy.

    Leg press: 220 for 2x8 @ 220kg and AMRAP (14). Sets got progressively easier - probably didn't warm up properly. Regardless, I was hoping for 12 in the AMRAP so I'm happy.

    Chest supported row: 50kg for 1x8 and AMRAP (12).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Beltless SSB squat: 112.5kg for 3x6. Grand. Easier than last week.

    Beltless conv deadlift: 140kg for 3x6. Slightly easier than last week. Didn't need to dig deep to finish.

    TNG bench: 85kg for AMRAP (14). Jaysus. My top end better be moving.

    Lat pulldown: 77kg for 2x8 and AMRAP (9). Was pooped.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Sumo deadlift: 155kg for 6x3. Grand. Didn't record any sets but everything felt as should be.

    RDL: 120kg for 4x8. Tiring but grand.

    Bench: 87.5kg for 4x3 and 82.5kg for 3x6. Started sloppy and gradually improved. Just need to remember to stick knees outwards to stop leg drive from moving my ass off the bench.

    DB row/hammer curls: 2x10 @ 32.5/15kg. Just a repeat.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    TNG bench: 55kg for 1x8, 65kg for 2x6, 77.5kg for 2x5, 82.5kg for 2x4 and 87.5kg for 3x3. All fine.

    Leg press: 220 for 1x8 @ 230kg and AMRAP (12).

    Ran out of time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Beltless SSB squat: 115kg for 3x6. Grand.

    Beltless conv deadlift: 140kg for 4x6. A little harder than last week. Set 4 felt like last week's set 3.

    TNG bench: 87.5kg for AMRAP (14). Again, jaysus.

    Lat pulldown: 77kg for 3x8 and AMRAP (11).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Sumo deadlift: 165kg for 4x3. Kinda hard. Ability to move weight was never in doubt but this weight really highlights where form breakdown could occur. Recorded 3rd set and it looked perfect.

    RDL: 120kg for 5x8. Ugh. Hands in bits.

    Bench: 97.5kg for 4x3 and 87.5kg for 3x8.

    Chinup AMRAP (11). No time for rows/curls so improvised. Better than nothing

    Monday's bucket of deadlifts over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    TNG bench: 57.5kg for 1x8, 70kg for 2x6, 80kg for 2x5, 92.5kg for 2x3 and 105kg for 2x1.

    Leg press: 235kg for 2x8 @ and AMRAP (15).

    Ran out of time



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,062 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Beltless SSB squat: 120kg for 3x6. Hard.

    Beltless conv deadlift: 140kg for 5x6. Ugh. Had to dig deep.

    TNG bench: 92.5kg for AMRAP (10). Genuinely failed at 11th. Still happy.

    Lat pulldown: 71kg for 2x8 and AMRAP (8). Hah. I went down in weight because I needed to switch to normal wide handle because the neutral grip handle kept giving pins and needles somehow.

    Doing this a day late due to bank holiday

    Sumo deadlift: 125kg for 4x3. Easy as expected.

    RDL: 120kg for 2x8. Fine with this set range.

    Bench: 95kg for 3x2 and 90kg for 3x5. Absolutely fine.

    One arm DB row: 2x10 @ 32.5kg. Grand.

    Hammer curls: 2x10 @ 15kg. Grand.
