Hang on, that's a Thursday session!

Similar.
It differs, significantly in my opinion, by dint of the Tuesday and Thursday rest days preceding.
 
Before getting into tonight's workout; I feel I must mention the complete pain in the @rse that this new page curse is starting to become.

 
Mon
Push_press
heart wasn't really in it ..with predictable result.
Will deffo change up next week now.
Either go behind the neck for power or, more likely, treat it as assistance work and go light for reps.
 
Front Squat
60-80-100x5
115 5x5
Legs were still mashed from Friday so that was harder than than it needed to be. Few signs of form breaking down and also bit of knee pain so wont be going heavier for 5x5 until that gets put right.
 
Low Pulley Row
pin13 x 12-10-8
form is much better on these
 
Chest Press
45 per side x 10-8-6
Decided I wouldn't go heavier than last week because it is volume bench on Wed. As it turned out this was more than heavy enough anyway.
 
Skull/Close Grip (not inc bar)
50 x 10/10 8/8 6/8
I wont say they were easy but deffo better than last week. Shouldn't be long before 12-10-8 which would be awesome.
 
Weigh-in
14st 1lb
/nofatbasta
Xmas bulking is underway with a vengeance. Still have vague abs so not packin on too much flab. I need to keep my weight up purely for self-preservation though. Under 14st and I run the risk of Deadward identifying me as prey.

Morning Jedi, hope you are okay and just to say have a good 'un!..i hope you don't mind me asking, but how are things going on the "arty" side? making good sales I hope....I don't mean to be personal of course and you don't have to answer if you would prefer not to. I was just thinking about those great scultpures you did as i was at a local show for a short while last night and it prompted my memory.  Did you sell them or do you keep them for exhibitions?
 
errmm....as I said, I'm just being nosey so you don't have to say..but I hope things are ticking along nicely for you anyway....have a good day....
 
oh..and the pic in a previous post,where you said there was a breakout of Deadward...that is so funny!..I must have looked at it a hundred times....soooooo hilarious.......

I don't get why this new page carries on after 4 posts have been made, normally it's just the 1st post on it that's the issue. Anyway, I have posted now so it'll probably be fine until the next one.

Nice day at office squat!

Cheers Iain. I was very pleased to make those doubles...thing is I'm not sure where that's put me on the road to going for a 200. Ideally they would've been triples then I could go for a 190x2 and then launch for the 200. In short...I'm probably still not ready yet

It's working again after the thrashing postd above but just in time for 3more posts then back to disappearing page again.
 
Just starting to feel it in the legs and knees from all the squatting but on the bright side I don't have to do any today and it is a nice lie down on the bench

Def close pal. If you could have done some tripples with 180 then 'it's on'

Right.... we know why the 'next page' thing happens. It's basically down to thread size. The bigger the thread (such as this one at 233 pages) the greater the problem of the new/next page updating.

Are techno-geeks gonna fix this or does it mean I've got to start a new journal?

I reckon I possibly could've done two triples
...I'm not nec. keen to put this theory to the test
 
Wed
Bench
60-80-100
120 5x5
Very pleased with that. Equals my best ever. Last time I managed that I was in 140x2 form. Not sure about that but things are deffo heading in the right direction.
 
Hammer Grip Pulldown
pin12 x 12-10-8
may need to go heavier as I'm getting these fairly easily. Not looking forward to it much though as pin12 is already a good bit heavier than me so getting on to the seat with 13blocks is going to be a real struggle
 
Seated Lateral
12.5kg x 12-10-8
making these fairly easily but deffo not going heavier as it is just to brutal on the joints will try and make 3 12's
 
Curls
Dbell dropset 20kg-12-10 for decent reps first set but fell off badly. Probably preferred it to the e-z curls though.

I think it's beyond the techno geeks, unless they fork out for more or bigger servers I guess, I don't think it's a fix it situation

Knees are a bit sore from the squat frequency and my shoulder goes a bit sore after benching but nothing that is actually hindering reps.
Really hope I can hold that situation til Xmas so that I can challenge some PB's.
I've been scrathing around the thought of a 200 squat for over a year.
