Another great pulling session, I was good for at least two more reps (again).

This cycle has been productive for both Deads and Squats...Bench is the turd in the punchbowl at the moment.

Road to Regionals De-Load week reps/sets

T&G Bench - 80 / 85 / 90kg *2, 95kg *1, 100kg *1 PR BABY 102.5kg *X but it got up a lot further than I would have imagined

Paused Bench - 90kg 1*3

Dips - 12 / 16 / 20 / 24 / 28kg *3

Paloff Press - 30 sec holds *3

When you least expect it, miracles happen.

Once again we went through our de-load protocol for Bench and take a run at a PR...which in this case is 100kg. It's been a bogey out there on the horizon FOR.EVER!

Damn thing went up so fast I didn't know what to do but scream with joy.

With everything that's been going on outside the gym, to hit this PR is extremely gratifying.

Nice day with the Dips as well.

But I was bored!

You couldn't stay away! I bet the activity felt therapeutic.

[codgerus maximus]

Nice squat sets--quite a lot of volume there.

T&G Bench - 87.5kg *4, 80kg 4*5
Wide Grip Bench - 60kg 10*4
Larson Bench - 65kg 8*3

Dumbbell Press - 30lbs 15*4

Wide Grip Pull Downs - 50kg 12*3
Dips - bw 12*3
Tri Pull Downs - #12 12*3
LTE - 30kg 10*3

A little tired today, so we started the cycle at 87.5kg and we'll build from there. Just a lot of work to do on Bench days. By the time I got to the LTE's I was only good for 10's, and not 12's as written.

I'm also have a pretty good case of DOMS from Monday's Squats. That short time off, coupled with a de-load week was enough to de-condition me...DAMN!

Deadlift - 185kg *5, 165 5*3

Bench - 65kg 10*3
Ab Holds - 60 seconds *2
Paloff Press - 30 seconds *2
Reverse Fly - 30lbs 10*3
Lat Pull Downs - 50kg 10*3

So, out of nowhere I've got a wicked cold...brutal sore throat...sleep was very hard to come by last night.

And so we came in a little easy to the Deads this cycle, seeing as I'm back to dead stop pulls. The top set was good for one more at least, and the back off sets were surprisingly strong.

Sorry to hear that. But you put in an impressive session none the less, which is more than I would have done in your shoes.

Just starting to kick this cold, but my sleep is way off...I'm tired. Top set was iffy for depth, got the first (maybe) the rest were high, high, high...

[codgerus maximus]

Nice squatting, even if you think they were high.

My training partner is all about accountability. If I don't call my self out on depth issues, she's on me right quick.
