OHP: 115 3x5

That’s a PR for Deadlift for me. It went up really smooth too. I definitely think I can pull 405 at this meet.

Good shite. I think you should able to as well. If 390 went up smooth, you’ll definitely be able to knock 4 plates down.

Rep work.

Giant sets of bench with 200, face pulls and band shrugs. Dunno how many sets, just went to 36 bench reps.

2 giant sets of incline db press, dips, side laterals, curls and floor press.

Supersets of zercher yoke carries and sledgehammer swings, then tabata air bike to finish.

Bench 3x3-215/245/275
Bench 5x10-185
Barbell Rows 5x10-165
EZ bar curls 5x10
Crunches 5x10

Struggled with 275 today. I had too much beer last night. Weirdly, I banged out 50 reps of bench at 185 and the barbell row supersets pretty easily. 5x10 at 185 was REALLY hard 3 weeks ago. Weird.

Maybe I'm weird but some of my best workouts have been when I'm hungover or dare I say slightly drunk.

Deadlift: 230 5x10
Walking lunges: 95 3x9
Didn’t have time for abs.

ETA: Tues AM
Bench: 205x5; 237.5; 270x6 (meh)
OHP: 97.5 5x10

Power Cleans 165-3x3
Squats 225-3x5 (10)
Front squats 160-5x10
Pause squats 160-5x5
Reverse Hypers 5x10
Hypers 5x10
Hanging leg lift 5x10

Today I got the feeling that the strength in my lower back is lagging in comparison to my abs. I do reverse hypers regularly, but I haven’t really pushed building muscle in that area. So, I upped the weight on reverse hypers, added two sets and then did supersets of regular hypers. The muscles in my lower back are sore as frick now. No spinal pain, pure muscular soreness. Hopefully, this will carry over to my big lifts.

New PR on bench finally woo!

Smashed 315 for the first time today; it went up so smooth. So I went for 325 and nailed that, too.



Weighed in at 157 this morning so I'm finally in the 2x bodyweight bench club. If only I could squat or deadlift

Nice lift. I wish my bench was close to yours.

Taking it lighter this week. I did 185x8 paused bench supersetted with face pulls three times.

Then 2 giant sets of weighted pushups, pin ohp, mas face pulls, rows, curls and floor press.

Sledgehammer and neck work plus farmers walk to finish. Farmers, I felt my rib get painful. Hope I didn't reinjure it and it's just a false alarm.

Deadlift: 265x5; 302.5x5; 345x7
Squat: 205 5x10
Leg press: 460 3x10
Abs

My BBB reset has been fun. Squat and deadlift have improved significantly in the last 4 months. At this rate, I am definitely going to climb the 3/4/5 plate bench/squat/deadlift mountain by the end of the year.

Workout #7 for my GZCLP journey.

Seemed a bit weak on my T2 squat today (125, 3x10). Not sure if I started to high, diet isn't playing nice with my lifts, or if that's typical. I didnt fail, but probably couldn't have done too many more.

Sometimes you just have an off day, it’s just hard to accept them. All that matters is that you’re finishing your sets and that’s always good.

Still doing 95% work while prepping for this meet, and this shite sucks. I've only done my main lifts each workout, with maybe one accessory lift.

Squat: 225x5 245x5 265x3 275x3 295 3x1 285x1 265x3 225x5 170x10.

3 straight weeks of this heavy lifting is gonna be awful, but hopefully it helps me peak right.
