210 kg x 1 straight up no hitch at all. ok that tied with my previous pb off the deficit and that rpevious one was hitchd like ****.. im sure if i was wearing a belt plus straps and fresh would of had 220 kg plus in me!

ok so next week im starting this ed coan deadlift programme so this week i messed around after deads finding what weights i can do on the accessery excercises as most of them i never do.

so i did 4 cycles of each of these with 90 seconds rest between.

1) machine hypers
2) close grip hammer lat pull down
3) wide grip bent over barbell rows

i did 8-12 reps.. for each and did 3 sets for each one after the other for 3 cycles. next week i will start the programme and follow it to the tee, i enjoyed cycleing the excercises it was hard work because of the short res periods but i had fun! and got a nice pump.

oly bar upright row

60 kg x 13 pb
70 kg x 8 quick form not brilliant but still a pb
50 kg x 15 or 16

bent over db lat raises

fook me, my mate who i train with trains with a decent bodybuilder from time to time, and he was taught to do this from this guy, anway you start on the lightest dumbells and when you reach failure 10 second rest then move up the rack to hevier ones!!
was reallly hard work, although im a fair bit stronger than my mate he actually probably beat me on these. it appears my muscle endurance is terrible. his form is great start with dbs infront of theighs then raise them up and rotate the wrists side ways. i could tell they were decent by the burn

then did simular with front lat raises.

ok good session today my raw squats are getting better im making decent progress on them, im hopeing im good for a 200 kg belted and wraped squat atm.

no idea why i failed the 152.5 kg frontie last week 150 kg felt quite easy, i think maybe i did to many warm up sets before hand.

125 kg x 10 pb with that weight
155 kg x fail this was a 2 second pause on chest very close
160 kg x fail should of had this all day again very very close

incline bb bench press 45 degree inc..

60 kg x 3
80 kg x 3
90 kg x 3
102.5 kg x 6 pb 6th rep was insanely hard
100 kg x 5
62.5 kg x 20 pb

incline skulls

62.5 kg x 7 tris were burned out from the last set of inclines
60 kg x 6 lost all energy!

overhead skulls with oly bar

40 kg x 10 ROM as large as possible to get a stretch
50 kg x 10 ROM  large, this was a killer!
55 kg x 9 short ROM.

paused bench press

60 kg x 3 exploding up
80 kg x 3 exploding up
90 kg x 3 exploding up
100 kg x 3 surprizingly easy after 12 previous sets
120 kg x 1 with 2 second pause
130 kg x 1 down and straight up really easy
140 kg x 1 prity hard but im pleased

ok not bad, im convinced i had another rep on the 125 kg on the first set of bench press.. because the 10 th rep i barely used any leg drive, and it still went up prity fast. incline which im not too good on is rising slowly but surely.. i think being conservative my bench is 165 kg and optimistic 170 kg.. on a good day.
