Great work Al

[Squatter]

Strong pulling once again mate.

40 pull ups is a great acheivement. I once did 50 reps - took me awhile and my lats were sore for a week, so I can appreciate the 40 reps.

40 pullups would take me most of the day and I'd need an othopedic shirt afterwards, so well done young man!



Good stuff, Mark!

[BendtheBar]

Let me know if you post a video in case I miss it somehow.

That's some lovely volume at that weight. Hard work, challenging but not utterly gruelling (I hope!). I'd say you would be good for 12-15 chins in a single set? 40 reps during a session is fine work. I find that chins are a nice warm up. The ideal exercise

3/5/1 Cycle 3 Wk 1

Squat
[Goal] Actual
[132.5x3] 132.5x3
[147.5x3] 150x3
[167.5x3+] 170x1 x1 x1

Assistance
1.Squats: 5 sets of 10 – 80kgs
2.Hanging Straight Leg Raise : 5 sets of 15
3.SS with Leg Curls: 5 sets of 6 – 30kgs

Notes
Got lazy loading the bar and then suffered for it on the top set.
Did 3 singles at 170kg cause I couldn’t get the 3+ out.
Ridiculous.
That said I am now down to 98kgs from 105kg (in 6 weeks) so most likely the reason for my crap squat lately.

Congrats on the weight loss. How much more do you plan on losing?
