More mirrors and even tighter t-shirts! That's what you need!

You're welcome mate, feeling good today so bring it on! Looking forward to our big bench session (even if I'm doing DE work...) tomorrow.

Now by back and glutes have released, I'm back on for smashing some weight tomorrow. First though, as per my text, all I have to say is:

Simply awesome session that's left me broken, battered and sweating. It started about two and a half hours ago with some deadlifting...

Deadlift
60x5
60x5
100x3
100x3
100x3
140x1x2 sets
180x1
200x1
200x1
220x1
237.5x1
250x1

HELL. YES. So happy with that 250 and it didn't even feel as ridiculously hard as I thought it would - having said that I did have my leotard on and put talc down my legs, which probably made it a bit easier. Still, came off the floor really fast and just ground out the lock out. BOOM, new PB. 637.5kg gym total.

DE Cambered Bar Box Squat
Warm-Up
140x2x10 sets

First time doing box squats and they felt really good, deloading at the bottom and driving hard to lock out. Felt strong.

Cambered Bar Good Mornings
60x5
100x3
120x3

Usually I do more of these and heavier, but I found it more difficult this week, possibly after the heavy dead and box squats. Still, got my good morning on.

Sled Drags
Sled+20x2 lengths outside the gym
Sled+40x2
Sled+60x2

Urgh, the last set left me in a sweaty heap of leg pain and a thumping heart. Still, felt awesome.

A day off tomorrow would perhaps be nice, but screw it - it's bench press day! Oh, and I have videos of the dead and sled pull, will put them up later.

[Fazc]

Awesome! Looking forward to the vids.

[MikeC]

Congratulations on that huge pull.

[T-Bone]

Big numbers and brutal volume, nice job!
