Not much to say really, did a bit to keep the body moving, just waiting around cor Saturday to weigh in at this point.
Bodyweight 89.8kg this morning, so I won’t have to do much to make sure I make weight, just watch my fluids tomorrow night.

Thanks mate, obviously a little disappointed with my Squat but I let my ego talk me out of what I’ve had planned for the last few months!! Reigned myself in after that!
Brits is 13 weeks away, so I know what I need to work on to get my 700kg total!

Felt good to get my body moving in the gym again, I’ve been stupidly sore since Sunday, and while I still am its easing off day to day.
The road to the Brits at Bodypower starts next week, so need to get myself right and hit the ground running, as I’ll be on the platform 12 weeks on Friday!

Elbows are still a bit sore today from the weekend, so didn’t do much. I’m going to see how they get on, I’m contemplating doing my Accumulation Block with the Bow Bar on Squats, see if my Tendonitis sods off!
Strong bench work, and solid arch you got going on. How do you find doing Squats and deads on the same day?

Thanks man, Bench is slowly getting to where Id like it to be.
I don’t find it too bad for singles, and low volume / deload stuff, but generally I dont do my main Squatting and Deadlifting in the same session.

Still not 100% from the comp last Sunday, but I’m slowly getting there. Lower back is still a bit sore! Good Squat session today, not a PB but its not far off PB territory so I’m happy with that.
I was advised to add speed pulls into my program at around 50% as my deadlift variation, todays were a little over 50% because I’m a little lazy with loading sometimes, but I think they moved quick enough.
Strong squat session, keep it going and they looked clean,

Benching with the Bow Bar is hard work!! I wasn’t expecting it to be that bad, very surprising. I do like it as a variation though, so I’ll push this up and see where it takes me!
Added more Upper Back work this block as I feel its a lagging area, the Face Pulls felt great tonight.

the Bow bar looks like fine, would you recommend it for training instead of the regular?

Its certainly harder then a normal bar, and my shoulders know about it today! Seems like a good variation but I wouldnt drop normal Bench altogether.
