Notes: Lack of sleep made squats harder than they should be, but I managed. A little to much grinding on the last set of doubles with 140 kg/308 lbs, so switched to singles for the rest.

Notes: First time pulling heavy without belt. 140 kg and 150 kg sets were smooth, fast and easy, but 160 kg was bolted to the fucking ground. Got pissed, kicked the plates, hurt my foot and tried again. Still not moving an inch. Pulled some more sets and called it a day. I hate deadlifts.

Thanks man !
The progression im using rigth now, is trying to do more volume with the same weigths or heavier(80-90 % of 1rm) every session for a set amount of weeks, before I max out, and start over with new percentages.

The behind the neck push presses was just added in this week, so didnt really do a lot of work to get it to where it is now. Really fun exercise, and you can really get some sick leg drive and move some heavy weigths. Might try 80 kg or even more next btnpp session. Just be careful, can really hurt your sholuders if you do not have proper shoudler mobility.

Very nice progression man. How long do workouts usually run? Do u have great recovery?And how long have u used that progression? I like the way u set ur workouts up, so I’m thinking I might borrow some of ur ideas when I run my plan into the ground

Most training sessions last about an hour or so. And my recovery is pretty decent, being 19 has its benefits. Just started using the progression a couple of weeks ago, feels like its working well so far. Will max out in a few more weeks to find out how well its working. Cant take all credit for my workout setup, as its a program made by Jamie Lewis,(The CnP guy, former world record holder at 181), with a few personal twists and an added progression model.
