lol ! tell me about it - one day i'll get the hang of these !!
Not sure wether or not the speed bench day in this routine is beneficial or not ? I can't really knock it untill i'll tried it for a full 12 weeks
Another dilema i'm having is squats !! I currently squat to parallel but don't know wether or not to start again ass to grass ?? will I ultimately get better and stronger through squatting that way or is there no real difference ??

Were you trying to work your explosiveness and bar speed?
If that is the case, then high reps would probably not be useful. I do my speed benching as 8 sets of 3 reps, controlled down, pause, and explosive up with all my strength and might like it was my max weight.
Finding the right weight is tricky, the point is not the weght, but the bar speed. When it is fast, you go up, but only then.

dont know mate, depends highly on your form, style and targets. I try to break the parallel, but not any lower. My aim is to put on the max amount of weight on the bar and do a powerlifting squat. ass to grass would not help in my goal and would needlessly make me work with lighter weights.

next time pay attention to your knees, see that they are pushing out rather than travelling in. Keep it tight.
Also, remember big chest, head up and press yourself into the bar, that usually helps keeping the bar back and body upright.

Sat 4th March
Squats
80kg - 1 x 5
110kg - 1 x 5
115kg - 1 x 5
120kg - 1 x 5
125kg - 1 x 5
Felt really heavy and almost failed on the last rep so didn't bother going to 130 !
Form was much better but lower back was aching loads during sets - May switch to Front squats for a while - any comments ? Are these as beneficial as I can nail the form with front squats ??
Babell curls
35kg - 1 x 5
42.5kg - 1 x 5,5,4,4,3
SLDL's
60kg - 1 x 5
85kg - 1 x 5,5,5,5,5
Oh and cheers Vegan will try that next week if I stick with back squats !
