Wassup I see your lifts are moving up. I wish I could say the same. My bench and deadlift are moving not so much squat.

100x5 last night for a rep PR was a pleasant surprise for me and a rep or two in the tank too. I’ve always been intimidated by two plates and subconsciously held back but now I try to hit it every work out for reps or long as pauses to get past the mental barrier.

And I’m jelly of your squat lol

Maybe we should start like a little Curl competition. I keep skipping it but maybe to beat your ass I’d be more consistent. I’m pretty weak at them though

Mediocre, was having some trouble with these today.

Still dislike this, but im getting pretty ok at them.

Single leg romanian deads 4x8
Leg curls 4x12
leg exstensions 4x12
leg press 4x12
Leg press is becoming one of my favourites for quad size/strength. I can really mimic my squat, and go for higher reps without tiring out so much.
The exstensions are still #1 though imo.
Snatch grip deadlifts 4x8 85kg
planks 4x45 seconds
ab wheel rollouts

That’ll never change. If it does there’s someying seriously wrong with you.

Wow, last training of the week, best training of the week!

Squat:
1x1 170kg
4x5 160kg

The 170kg moved super easy, was really happy with this,
the 160kg 4x5 was also super easy. Looked back at the footage and the reps where very nice and no form breakdown what so ever. Very good to see such weight moving this way.

Bench:
45 92,5kg
missed the last rep of the last set due to cramping in my lowerback, and i decided to rack it rather than pushing it. Still the first 3sets where moving ok. Bench is always either really good, or really MEH.

Deadlift
4x5 155kg
Moving aight. Deadlift keeps moving pretty nice, if i can keep this theme with deadlifts, i might actually start liking them lol.

rows 4x8
facepulls 4x8
chin ups 4x8
ab wheel rollouts. 4x8

spend the weekend in berlin, saw a lot of really cool stuff. Went to a big ww2 bunker with a show “hitler, how could it happen?” Extremely in depth analysis about hitlers rise to power, and how he turned out to be. Really interesting stuff. Also visited “The Story Of Berlin” Which was just a museum on the history of Berlin through 800-ish years. Also photographed a bunch, some pictures turned out AMAZING.

Did a lot of walking, and got up freaking early each day.
So pretty tired today, which somewhat affected my training, but dont mather to much.

Highbar squats
4x8 135kg
Moving ok, nothing to great/bad

bench:
4x5 92,5kg
EH, I felt this to most, not feeling good at all. Decided to cut the 3rd set, and went a little harder on the incline dumbells.

Defecit deads:
4x5 145kg
Redemption, moving great. Saw some great tips by jack the deadlift ripper in jujimufu’s video, applied those and deadlifts felt a bunch better.

Incline dumbell press
pendlay rows

all done 4x15

pretty amazing training today, training with coach but also training with competition grade equipment. It just adds a little extra to your training tbh.

Squat:
185kg 1x1 Pretty easy, was today’s primer. If i had to judge based on rpe i’dd say 8.
180kg x2
180kg x3
180kg x2

Bench
105kg 2x1
My bodyweight going slightly down is probably the cause of my bench being slightly weaker than it used to be.

Deadlift
160kg x 1
We did a bunch of working on technique after this, 4x5 150kg

Last week of vacation before school starts for me. Also feeling a bit under the weather, so after training i ate dinner and went to bed slept till 11;30…

So peak/taper for the next competition has officially started. Im feeling amazing (besides being slightly under the weather) No annoying pains, etc.

Yesterdays training:
Highbar 4x6/8
One set of 140kg x6
3 sets of 135kg x8

Squats are going someplace.

Bench;
Bench was feeling pretty good today, which suprised me.
4x4 2 second paused on chest 95kg.

Bench is still not where it was last year this time, the elbow tendonitis i had earlier this year really fucked my bench over… Really hoping i can finally set some sort of all time pr at this next competition. Coach also seems to think its a little bit in my head, which could very well be the case, but well see.

Deadlifts: (deficit)
4x4 147,5kg
Feeling crisp and clean. deadlift is doing that thing where its actually making progress. :slight_smile:
