Thanks!!!

Today was squats and bench

Squats
157.5kgx3
157.5kgx3
157.5kgx3

Felt good, PR for 3x3. Next week 160kg for 3x3, 3.5pps

Bench
110kgx2
110kgx2
110kgx2

Getting close to 3x3, maybe 1-2 more weeks . Bench is slowly but surely going up.

Dips
20kgx3x6

Band Pull Aparts


I needed a dip/pullup belt and this website in Aus had them on sale, like 50% off. So I got some, and I wanted to play a little with bands for benching, I think I might not be fast enough off the press, I always seem to get stuck mid way. I picked up 2 sets to play with.

First one is 45-55lb, the other is 60-80lb. I got the mini bands, they are perfect for benching.

The plan is on Fridays (2nd benching day) to do some band work, also to do some band pull aparts.

Today I had a little play with the bands and they were fun. I look forward to Fridays benching.

I just have to figure out the best way to apply them, and even if they are needed. On Fridays I work up to a top set of 5 on bench, maybe if I do that with bands it will help me commit to the rep and push fast. Or the other alternative is the speed work with a band, but I dont know if I am strong enough to get the benefits from speed work like that.

Thanks! Its going well, 90% of the trainers I work with make me want to pull my hair out. But apart from that its good, I lift at my gym too, and I am getting more and more people approaching me while I train asking for training. So building up the business and reputation which is good!

THe oly lifting gym is awesome though, the trainers and the gym members are all amazing. They all just want to get strong through squats, pressing, pullups and the oly lifts .

Thanks Pull! Its awesome, they are moving to a bigger place soon, I cant wait!

Today was Light Oly Work + Assistance

Snatch Pull + Snatch done around 50% of max
40kgx4x2

Felt good and fast

Push Press
82.5kgx3x3

Chinups
15kgx3x5

Good session, I will keep the push press weight for next week as it wasnt as powerful as I wanted. Push Press is meant for speed and power. Will add weight to pullups and keep snatch pull + snatch the same.
