Had the same exact thing, try some pin presses when you get a chance and set it to forehead height, my weak point has disappeared since doing these with a load of variations.

Yeah I need to try that soon. It felt really funny to blow out of the bottom so strong with 125 (a very high percent lift) and then basically come to dead halt at my sticking point.

Decided that after this week regardless that all main lifts are moving down to 5 x 8. This is week 6 I am currently on of doing 5 x 10s. Also increasing the assistance volume for my upperbody a little bit.

Increasing Front Raise volume/frequency.
Increasing volume on all 3 tricep exercises
Increasing volume on DB Bench Variation.
Keeping Pullovers as a staple of basebuilding phase.
Keeping Calf work as a staple of basebuilding phase.
Streamlining approaches to Curls.

Tempo Squats and RDLs have been really nice to me so far, so I am going to keep them for the 5 x 8’s phase. Will probably switch these variations out for another variation when I switch to the next phase of training, but that just depends on my progression and where I end up during the next phase.

My thought process changed about progression during this ‘program’ as I was reflecting on what made last time not so great. Instead of letting failure to meet required reps happen I move on when the quality of reps starts to deteriorate too much in order to maintain progression and/or just spending too much time working in one rep set scheme. I think 6 weeks seems like a good amount of time to focus on a rep range before working on a different one.

Try n’ hold me back by Rob Bailey and the Hustle Standard

So much stuff is missing from the gym as they getting ready to move locations. So no Leg Presses or Leg Curls. Made friends with 2 of the regulars as we struck up a conversation about the missing stuff/new location opening. Then talked a bit about training and school and stuff.

Snatch
Worked upto 105lbs.

Definitely getting better about not overextending and only using what I need to. So I am not losing my balance.

Deadlifts
1 x 5 @ 135
1 x 2 @ 225
1 x 1 @ 275
1 x 1 @ 315
1 x 1 @ 335 (152)
5 x 10 @ 230 (140)

Tempo Cambered Bar Squats
1 x 4 @ 45
1 x 4 @ 135
1 x 2 @ 155

SSB Squats
1 x 5 @ 45
1 x 6 @ 135
1 x 0 @ 185 (Felt fine going down, but went nowhere)
2 x 10 @ 115

Not sure the weight of the SSB so I am just using weights as if its 45lbs

Leg Ext
4 x 20

Side Bend
3 x 20 @ 65

Back Ext
1 x 40
1 x 35

Then stood around talking to the 2 guys with the unloaded SSB on my back for a good 10 minutes or so.
