Where are you “slowing” in your reps?

You can do some variants after your strength work at lower weight to work on various parts of the movement. For example, if you’re struggling off the chest at the bottom of the rep, you can get better by working on pause bench reps.

Deadlifts 135, 225, 315x10, 405x6, 405x6, 315x10

Heavyish.

EMOM bench. 235x2 paused for 7 minutes. 2 sets of flys and board close grip benches after.

Deadlift doubles up to 495.

Spider bar squats in giant set with sled pull and push, plate hanging leg raises and side planks. X4.

Next week is a forcible deload due to a tough work schedule.

Did a little of everything upper today in hypertrophy numbers. Hip flexor is still in repair mode so haven't squatted in 2 weeks now

Looking forward to maxes next week, but unlikely I'll be able to get a squat number.

For bench and deads I think I'll fall around 340 and 435ish respectively.

Well baws, finally did it. Got a clean rep at 340 and probably could have hit another 10 pounds. Weighed 169.6 yesterday morning so I’m now in the 2x bodyweight bench club!!

Only my 2nd workout of the week, but I made it through a tough work week.

4 giant sets of banded squats, glute ham raises, hip thrusts, weighted pushups and sled pull/drags.

Then some shoulder and arm work. 2 supersets of weighted leg raises and side planks.

Time to get back on the horse next week and do work.

We’ll team, just busted my ankle again. Looks like deadlift numbers I was starting to become moderately happy with are about to go in the shitter...

Sorry, man. Keep the faith.

Switching to a Westside Conjugate template. ME upper.

4 bench singles at 96%.

3 giant sets of OHP, rows, weighted pushups, curls and tricep extensions.

Some sandbag carries to finish. I got a new neck harness, so I carried the sandbag with it on.
