Well done on the 2 pulling PR's - Your smashing the deadlifts!

I like the pre-workouts. I've used Jack3d a number of times but bought 1.M.R. monday and I've had 2 good sessions on it this week

Much appreciated guys. All I need is my bench and squat to rise and I will be a happy man. To hell with 4 plates, I want 182.5 cos it's over 400 pounds

Saturday March 17

Appropriate that since I was named after St. Patrick that I would hit a PR on this day My push press continues to surprise I bounced back well from last week's missed heavy single.

Clean & Push Press/Jerk
40x5
50x3
62.5x2
75x1
82.5x1 - This flew up which surprised me since last week was a fail. Really good transition from clean to press.
85 x 1 - PR Almost lost it at the same sticking point as usual but powered through for a satisfying press.

77.5 x 2 - Balance not good.
77.5 x 1 - This was awful. Poor clean to dodgy press
75 x 2 - Easy clean and good presses

Speed Bench
60 x 3 for 8 sets - Adjusted grips, slow descent and good fast ascent.

Close Grip Bench
60x4
72.5x7
72.5x5
72.5x5

Seated Dumbbell Shoulder Press
20x7
22.5x7
25x5 Ok since my triceps were more or less done

Abs
Weighted crunch + 22.5kg - 3 x 10 Supersetted with

Knee Raises - 3 x 15

Thanks guys, really appreciate all your support. MAB is an oasis in a desert full of idiots.

Sunday 18 March
There is always one fool who tries to run you down. Today was a great day but the moron at the end annoyed me. I have started a thread on the subject.

Right shoulder really sore after yesterday, started hurting bad in the evening and I could barely load plates today. Didn't stop me making a 300 squat, something that means a lot to me.

Squat
60x5
80x3
100x2
110x1
120x1
130x1
135x1 - PR I wanted 300 so badly so...
137.5 x 1 PR - Not easy but in my recording, the depth was awesome. Wider stance has shortened my ROM to great effect.

Good Mornings
40x5
60x5
65x5
70x5

Dynamic Deadlifts
100kg- 6 sets of 3
Apparently these are 'shit', guess someone ought to tell that to all those strong guys who perform these eh?

Left it at that because my shoulder wouldn't take shrugs or chins.

[tank]

that's awesome kuyt! congratulations!!

[BendtheBar]

300 hundred! Big milestone hombre. Way to make it happen.
