Deadlift
170kg x 3 – 6sets

Pendlay Row
60kg x 8 – 4sets

Weighted Pull Ups
+10kg x 5 – 4sets

Strong session Alan ... waiting for a BIG PR in DL ... strong numbers ...

Nice deadlift triples! Killing this so far.

When I bench after squatting, I know my back (low back soreness) and my ability to stay tight (simply being tired overall) suffer a bit, making bench reps harder. I partially solved that by benching with my belt on pretty tight. Don't know if you already bench with your belt, but it might help if you don't.

Looking good so far. Bound to get better as you keep adjusting to the volume.

[Squatter]

Backwork doesn't get much better than that Alan. Lovin the routine. making that upper back stronger means a guaranteed bigger pull max.

Very strong work Mark, can't wait to see a future huge pull PR!

Wont test it the 1RM again until mid January , so will get all the rep work in between now and then and hopefully get a surprise myself!

Nice idea on the belt , I actually have never worn a belt when benching but I may need to look into that soon!

Hopefully that’s the end result

Thanks for looking in mab , a long way off the deads you can do but hopefully headed in that direction!

Squat
130kg x 3 – 10sets

Bench
110kg x 3 – 10sets

Ab Work
Missed today as no time…



Notes
Squats were better today-I much prefer doubles and triples to sets of 5+!
Bench was fine until set 5 when I got a nice pinch in my right shoulder…hopefully it wont be anything much.

[Hunterace]

Great workout man! Hope the shoulder is ok!

[Kuytrider]

Lovely work altogether. I'll have to copy you at some point

[Squatter]

I too much prefer doubles and triples - it must be a built-in mechanism.

Hope that pinch irons itself out and fast. give it some TLC!!

You and me both!

And glad to hear things felt solid today.
