Like the goal is always to get stronger but I think having one top goal is better instead of just listing the next landmark for a bunch of lifts
Nice lifts Hamster. both lifts looks really solid, if you ask me.
Like the log name.

Been thinking a bit about my sumo stance width. With a closer stance I think I can get my knees out more and end up with a more upright back angle. Wider a get a bit less ROM but wouldn’t getting knees out more be more beneficial?

Guinea pig shoes are good but what about guinea pig flip flops?
Didn’t gym over the weekend so keen to get back into it. Not much time today so hit upper body press. Two days offer actually let my pressing muscles recovery catch up a bit so felt up to smashing out some work.
Bench Press 11x3 @ 100kg
Incline DB Press 5x12 @ 32.5kg
Volume PR on bench even though technique was iffy today. Followed up with DBs and was feeling strong on these. Time to up the weight soon to the 35kg dumbbells

Third day benching in a row. Feeling good and upped the weight on the DBs to 35s for easy 8-10 reps. Gainz.
Bench Press 24 Reps Total at 100kg
Incline DB Press 4 Sets @ 35kg
Didn’t skip squats today but moved well enough. Switched back into oly shoes and it felt goodish for once. Still feeling like I’m getting more torso lean than I’d like I dunno maybe a hybrid bar position would be better for me.
Squats 4x5 @ 140kg
Legs a bit sore after probably from skipping squats too much

Some decent volume on bench there mr pig. Are you following a specific program or just hitting volume at % based on prilepins chart ??

Holy shit, nice bench. I remember when you couldn’t bench 85 kg. Good work.

Nah just doing work. Not really any plan. Just push when I feel good and back off when I don’t and let the bulk push me forward for PRs.
I don’t know that chart well but I’ve found that low rep benching does good for me when I did Sheiko so I kept doing it. Working decent for the last almost two months and still going

You’ll have to be repping more than two plates if you want that three cookie bench

All in good time sir. When this volume beats me up too much I’ll up the weight maybe 5-10kg and drop back the volume start from zero and build back up

Bench 15 reps total @ 100kg, Rep PR (7)
Plan was a back off day with benching after three consecutive bench days but considering how it went mayve should’ve pushed it a bit.
Unplanned rep PR of 7 reps at 100kg. Got to 4 and thought why not go for more. Pretty happy with it. At one point repping 100 seemed like a dream or at least a long way off.
Hit a few more sets but didn’t DB press.
Road to three plates continues.
Squat 5x4 @ 140kg
Sumo Deadlift 3x2 @ 200kg
Bench is going well but can’t say the same for squat/deadlift. Squats feel heavy and technique is meh. Same with deadlift.
I think it’s a combination of not eating enough the past fortnight, taking time away from lifting technique and pushing training too much for my recovery.
Plan going forward TBA but will keep on keeping with more of the same bench
Popped back into the gym in the evening because a mate wanted to go so did some cable rows and stuff
Also managed to not skip curls for once. This is the start of something massive like massive biceps. All I need to do is not skip curls lol
Cable Rows 7 Sets
Biceps 4 Sets
Delt Raises 4 Sets
