Squat w/Belt
175kg x 1 @7

190kg x 1 @8.5
200kg x 1 @9
210kg x 1 @10 +10kg PB

Close Grip
115kg x 1 @7

125kg x 1 @8
132.5kg x 1 @9.5 PB
140kg x 1 @9.5 +10kg TnG PB

Sumo w/Belt
200kg x 1 @7.5

215kg x 1 @9.5
227.5kg x 1 @FFFFFFFUCK

Thought I'd test the variations I've been working on. I don't like comp squat with heels, ugly ass squat too. Hit the uprights on the walk out, almost bailed, I was about to collapse with knees shaking so was gonna rack but thought fuck it, squat. As soon as I got out of the hole I knew I had it.

Happy with bench, I could've paused it or even slight chance of a double TnG.

Cannot pull sumo for shit after squatting. Warm-ups were off but 200 felt solid. Wasn't to be today, back to conventional me thinks. I could do with returning to pulling after squatting in training too.

Also, according to my tee, death is imminent.

Thanks SO. Haha, ye you got that right. It's crazy watching stuff back because the atmosphere in my head was crazy. I do miss my garage.

Thanks Al. Ye bench is going well; ditching the wider grip, smashing overhead, ditching the overload stuff and avoiding grinding lifts with poor form along with reps is working wonders, obviously ha. And getting generally bigger.

Forgot to mention first weigh in in weeks this morning, 105.8kg, not too bad.

Thinking about next few weeks, might switch to 3 days a week, something like:

Mon - Squat/Bench/Dead
Tue - Rest/Abs
Wed - Squat/Press/Upper back & pump work
Thu - Rest/Abs
Fri - Dead/Bench/Squat

Heavy lower Monday and Friday, maybe alternate weekly between 2 bench/1 press and 2 press/1 bench. Maybe just push the upper back & pump to Saturday and add an extra press, been enjoying pressing/benching 4 days a week. A little variation but not much, probably fronts on Weds to keep it lighter.

I was going to return to reps and forget the top end stuff but my plan right now is to work up to a top set, probably a single but maybe up to a triple, and then back off work with higher reps. Only for one exercise each day though, nothing like today with form break down but confidence and technique building.

Sure it will evolve but something like this. Whilst I'm home for easter I'll likely have a couple weeks of 6 days with access to garage.

Random thoughts.

Looks good. How heavy are your deadlift days?

[SecondsOut]

that makes sense. Wed. is always a light day in between 2 heavy days, but the 2 heavy days are separated by a weekend off. that would seem to guard against overtraining. i guess the only other thing is that you'd have to be disciplined enough not to go too heavy every Monday and Friday.
