24kg x 15,15,15

Dead Holds (both hands supinated)

Ab Rollouts
On Knees x 20,20,20,20

Yesterday morning didn't happen, I ended up in bed eating ice cream at 7am, stress does the craziest of things to me. It's not often I miss/postpone workouts and its always because of coursework. I must admit I did quite enjoy going to the gym on a Saturday morning and not having to rush anywhere afterwards, I might have to consider that in the future. It was quite an easy session with it being a lighter week but I thought I'd pull a few extra reps out on deadlift, had plenty left in me. I'm still trying to get used to goodmornings and stick to a solid form but they definitely hit the spot. After the rollouts I feel like I've been in a torture rack right now, I'm going to try from standing again soon, it was a very painful experience last time.

I enjoy Saturday workouts for the same reason. Thought I was alone in this.

What style of good morning are you performing...a narrow stance, or more of a squat stance, powerlifting style?

Around squat stance with a slight bend in my knees. Struggled to find much information about different types or whats more beneficial for whatever reasons.

Had a flat tyre on my bike when I went to set off so had to run to the gym so I wasn't out late, that was a horrible start to my day. Bench was easy and assistance felt good, Looking forward to the 5/3/1 wave to get back onto singles.

I have also started planning for my next cycle. I have a rough idea of what weights I'll be using for the main and singles providing this cycle goes to plan. But I have to fit it into 3 weeks and after an enjoyable Saturday morning session last week I'm tempted to try the Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday routine. We shall see.

16/11/11 - Squat 3x5

72.5kg x 10 (5 sets)

Hanging Leg Raises

Everything felt heavy today and I can't get my form right on squats. Got footage of the 3 heaviest sets, not the best angle but hopefully someone can give me some pointers. I can't seem to find a constant form, mainly with stance width and foot angle. I'm thinking of a change of program in the new year with a higher squat frequency and faster progression but I'll think about that closer to the end of December.

A good day; previous best with 57.5kg was strict military for 5 reps. I was going to stop at 5 but felt strong, even at 8 there was still some left in the tank. I can see a painful weekend ahead of me, worth it though, home for the weekend and won't feel guilty about stuffing my face now. Singles next week on the big 3 and no deadlines so it works out perfect.
