5th set 185kg

Decent lifting there!

I know you were trying something different, but did you not find that the first couple of sets were too easy though!? If you managed 185 for 5 on the 5th set you must of been able to get plenty more than 5 with the 140!?

Yes like i say i was trying somthing differant i want to show my self that i can lift more weight so trying to fool the body next week i will start with more weight just doing this as i need a kick to push my weights up it might work then again i will never know unless i try i just seamed to get to 177.5kg and stop,i want to get to 200kg for 5 and beyond thanks for looking in hows things with you?? all well i hope

Things are ok at the moment, other than the last week which was a little crappy.

I've only just recently cracked the 200k for 5 and it was f'ing hard work!

If you're looking to push your working weights up and aiming more for strength gains then i would just try and add weight at every opportunity.

At 185 for 5 im sure you won't be too far away from the 200.

Little update size is coming back along with the strength

Now its the second week that my weight has stayed the same i am eating 6 meals a day and comsuming 50-60 gm protien per meal so i am thinking i need to up my carbs, not ever having counted my carbs its something i am going to have to do some research on
