Sets of faahve

Mr. CooL ICE · 06-05-2026 11:13AM

TNG bench: 60kg for 1x5, 70kg for 1x4, 82.5kg for 1x3, 90kg for 2x3, 95kg for 2x2. Fine.

Leg press: 240kg for 2x8 and AMRAP (18). Lightweeeeeight

Kelso shrug: 60kg for 3x8. Grand.

Mr. CooL ICE · 08-05-2026 09:34AM

Beltless squat: 3x3 @ 120kg. Haven't done LB in a few weeks but this felt fresh. Have ditched the heels again and widened my stance. Will reincorporate.

Sumo deadlift: single @ 200kg. Goal was to work up in singles until form degraded. 200kgvmoved slowly and I was in two minds about going further. Tried 205 and I stayed tight off the floor but just lacking strength to get past the knees, so dropped it. Oh well.

TNG bench: 100kg for AMRAP (7). Although I had a spot, I called it after 7 and was told there was definitely another there. Maybe confidence was down after the 295 before it.

Lat pulldown: 71kg for 1x8 and AMRAP (12). Better than last time.

Mr. CooL ICE · 12-05-2026 08:14AM

Sumo deadlift: 150kg for 8x3. Fine. I like this high set, low rep style as I get plenty of opportunity to tweak and improve the all important setup.

RDL: 125kg for 3x8. Ok, but grip was tested.

Mr. CooL ICE · 14-05-2026 10:30AM

Forgot to post yesterday

TNG bench: 1x8 @ 62.5kg, 1x6 @ 75kg, 2x4 @ 87.5kg and 2x3 @ 100kg. Last set of 100 was tough but rest were grand.

One arm DB row: 3x10 @ 35kg. Grand.

Mr. CooL ICE · 15-05-2026 08:18AM

Front squat: 100kg for 1x1, 90kg for 1x7+F and 2x5 @ 80kg. Have only front squatted maybe once in 5 years so badly out of practice. Plan was 1x8 @ 10 followed by 2x5 at that weight. Loaded up 100 and said nope after one rep. Bar fell out of my grip on rep 8 so I moved down weight. It's easier to move than hold in this position.

Conv deadlift: 3x6 @ 145kg. Hard. Grip was challenged. Technically it was 145.4 due to using 45lb bar but I doubt that had any meaningful effect.

TNG bench: 100kg AMRAP (7). No spotter but last rep felt like a last rep. Glute cramps confirmed this.

Kelso shrug: 70 kg for 2x8.

Mixed bag today.

Mr. CooL ICE · 19-05-2026 10:07PM

Meant to post yesterday…

Was spotting and loading st my gym's comp on Saturday. Body is still a little wrecked.

Squat: 135kg for 4x3. Felt good.

TNG bench: 100kg for 4x3 and 92.5kg for 3x6. These felt horrendously weak. After nearly failing a triple at 100, it made me wonder how I got 7 reps a few days ago.

Cable curls: 41kg for 2x15. Changing it because why not.

Kelso shrug: 75kg for 2x8. Grand.

Mr. CooL ICE · 19-05-2026 10:08PM

Sumo deadlift: 160kg for 6x3. Grand. Just need to remember to put a little more weight on the back foot.

RDL: 125kg for 4x8. Grand. Grip less of an issue. Just sore.

Mr. CooL ICE · 20-05-2026 09:22AM

TNG bench: 1x8 @ 62 .5kg, 2x6 @ 75kg , 2x5 @ 87 .5kg, 2x4 @ 92 .5kg and 3x3 @ 100kg . Hard, but the 100s weren't as hard as Monday at least.

One arm DB row: 2x10@ 37.5kg. Only had time for two sets.

Mr. CooL ICE · 22-05-2026 09:11AM

Front squat: 1x5 and 3x3 was the plan, but it was a disaster. Managed 2 @ 100 and stopped because I was subconsciously cutting depth. Went down to 90 and bar started to slip. Just did 3x3 @ 80kg instead. I give up. Will just SSB instead.

Conv deadlift: 4x6 @ 145kg. Had to dig deep. Both grip and moving the weight.

TNG bench: 100kg AMRAP (7). Got a spot but still couldn't manage more. Just stuck here I guess.

Kelso shrug: 75 kg AMRAP (12). Only time for one set.

Mr. CooL ICE · 24-05-2026 07:34AM

New PR: traversed full set of monkey bars while at the playground with my kids

Mr. CooL ICE · 25-05-2026 09:11AM

Squat: 142.5kg for 3x1. Felt solid.

TNG bench: 105kg for 4x3 and 92.5kg for 2x8 and 1x6. This was exhausting and I ran out of steam before finishing what was supposed to be 3x8.

Cable curls: 47kg for 2x10. Grand.

Kelso shrug: 80kg for 2x8. Grand.

Mr. CooL ICE · 26-05-2026 10:48AM

Sumo deadlift: 170kg for 4x3. Not feeling 100%. Only ine set felt truly solid.

RDL: 125kg for 4x8. Was supposed to be 5x8 but ran out of time. Hard, but I still had steam. Just took too long

Mr. CooL ICE · 27-05-2026 11:34AM

TNG bench: 1x8 @ 62.5kg, 2x6 @ 75kg, 2x5 @ 87.5kg, 2x3 @ 100kg and 2x1 @ 112.5kg. TNG PB, twice. I locked out 112.5 at a comp in 2019 but got red lighted. So although this is TNG, the number is special to me as something I wanted. The thought of attempting it after 2x3 scared me. First 112.5 was slow but second was far smoother. Confidence building.

One arm DB row: 1x10 @ 40kg

Mr. CooL ICE · 29-05-2026 08:19AM

SSB squat: 1x3 and 3x1 @ 130kg. Far more familiar and far less likely to hurt myself than front squat. And probably a SSB PB too. Not sure.

Conv deadlift: 5x6 @ 145kg.

TNG bench: 100kg AMRAP (8). Finally did it... just about. No spot.

Wide grip lat pulldown: 77kg for 2x8. Chest supported row busy so no kelsos.

Mr. CooL ICE · 01-06-2026 11:47AM

Squat: worked up to 160kg for a single. I did the last month assuming a rough training 1RM of 160kg so it would have been nice to surpass that. However, 160kg moved fine and solidly, but my left glute and hamstring started cramping up so I didn't do any more. There was 100% more in the tank though. Happy enough.

TNG bench: 100kg for 3x2 and 95kg for 3x5. The 100s were so hard that I dreaded the 95s, which ended up being fine. Weird.

Cable curls: 53kg for 3x8. Grand.

Kelso shrug: 80kg for 1x6 and 2x8. Cramped my hamstrings in that first set.

Mr. CooL ICE · 02-06-2026 06:57AM

Sumo deadlift: 130kg for 4x3. Light day because testing on Friday. Was grand and just practice. However, my left glute is still in pain from yesterday so need to keep on top of it.

RDL: 125kg for 2x8. Grand.

Mr. CooL ICE · 03-06-2026 09:20AM

TNG bench: 1x5 @ 62.5kg, 1x4 @ 75kg, 1x3 @ 87.5kg, 2x3 @ 95kg, 2x2 @ 100kg. Got easier as it went on so maybe lack of warmup?

Chest supported row: 2x8 @ 60kg. Benches busy.

Mr. CooL ICE · 05-06-2026 08:22AM

SSB squat: worked up to 140kg for a single. Although warmups felt crap, there was room in the tank. It's easily a PB so I'll cut and run.

Sumo deadlift: worked up to 205kg. Form felt spot on but it moved slow as hell. I'll take it.

TNG bench: 107.5 for AMRAP (5). I was expecting 2, maybe 3. Holy crap. I'm delighted.

Lat pulldown: 77kg for AMRAP (10). Only enough time for one set.

Mr. CooL ICE · 08-06-2026 08:01AM

Going on holiday later this week so just doing some ad hoc stuff to keep me in check. If in doubt, add pause work.

Pause squat: 145kg for 1x1. Slow, but that's kinda expected.

Squat:130kg for 2x5. Moved easily enough.

3ct paused bench: 100kg for 1x1. Flew up. Nice to see paused work hasn't suffered with recent emphasis on TNG.

Spoto press: 95kg for 2x3. Spotos always good.

Leg press: 220kg for 2x5. Gym got a new machine and I was the first to use it.

One arm DB row: 40kg for 1x10. Grand.

Overhead tricep extension: 45kg for 1x8. New cable machine. Hard.

Cable curls: 55kg for 1x10. Grand.

Mr. CooL ICE · 10-06-2026 10:42AM

Pause deadlift: 190kg for 1x1. I think this matches my pause PB from 2ish years ago.

Deadlift: 165kg for 1x8. New 8RM. I rarely deadlift beyond 6 reps and would have done 160x8 back when I used Jugg AI, so had something more than that in mind. And there was far room in the tank. And although I didn't record it, I know it was far less ugly.

Lat pulldown: 71kg for 12, 8. Ugh.

Mr. CooL ICE · 11-06-2026 07:42AM

TNG bench: 2x3 @ 105kg and 1x8 @ 95kg. Fine. However, I was using a bar that felt a little slippery, so it probably felt harder than it should.

One arm DB row: 42.5kg for 2x8. Grand.

Overhead tricep extension/cable curls: 2x15 @ 35/45kg.

That's it for a week. Hotel has a gym but from memory, it's crap and I probably won't bother.

Mr. CooL ICE · 22-06-2026 10:52AM

Tune up session/week.

I used the hotel gym twice. It has DBs up to 12.5kg and an adjustable bench. Aside from a punch bag and some cardio equipment, that was it. I did a wide variety of DB stuff that was better than nothing. However, while doing some DB glute bridges, I noticed my left side being significantly weaker than my right. It could explain some ham/glute pain I've been having. Warmup is now adjusted with prehab stuff for that.

Squat: 120kg for 3x5. Form felt as good as it did before the break. Mild ham pain immediately afterwards.

Deadlift: 140kg for 2x5. Felt easy. Hands just sore but callouses have reduced after so much time in a swimming pool.

RDL: 120kg for 2x8. Easy.

TNG bench: 90kg for 3x5. Easy.

Hamstring curls: 24kg for 2x15. Pump.

Lat pulldown: 71kg for 2x10. Easy.

Mr. CooL ICE · 24-06-2026 12:47PM

TNG bench: 1x8 @ 70kg, 2x5 @ 90kg and 2x3 @ 100kg. Grand.

One arm DB row: 2x8 @ 40kg. Grand.
