Ahh you should do man, will give you even more reason to train hard!
Haha yeah although it seems like some people I see training never get stronger 
Would really like to bench 160kg although am not sure how realistic that is and Iād say 220kg for deadlift 
Think I can do it, just gotta keep going hard!

Thats some awsome lifts right there if you where able to pull them off. I wish you good luck with that
I have to admit that I am way weaker than you and I have probably been one of those guys that get stuck on the same weights for years, but have gotten my shit togheter now and I am confident I am starting my path towards stronger lifts
Day 5, Week 6
Towel chins- 25kg x 5
Bench press- 130kg x 3 (failed to hit reps)
EZ curls- 50kg x 6
Got interrupted whilst warming up for bench which probably didnāt help and I bought the bar down too far towards my feet on the first rep which kind of messed me up although I knew a 7.5kg jump from last week was very optimistic.
@Flo glad to hear youāre on your way now. Pretty sure everyone goes through a stage of not progressing, I know I have! The people I donāt get are the ones that pay for gym memberships for years and donāt seem to care that theyāre not progressing.

Awsome workout man, strong lifts
About people not progressing:
I hardly think anyone doesnt want to progress, but maybe they are ilinformed aka meaning they believe in some myth that tells them that they dont have to lift more weights to build muscle and instead are only chasing the pump or the burn or something. Or they want to progress, but are bit by the program hopping virus and they dont eat enough and they justify it to themself with that aslong as they keep going weekly to the gym it is better than nothing. I can speak with personal experience about the latter. Just my thoughts on the topic.
Thanks man!
I suppose youāre right about people not progressing but surely if they really wanted to progress they would change something up. I know from experience that if Iām not progressing I get fed up with it so have to change certain things so that I start moving in the right direction again.

Yhea I would do that to if somethng was not working, but sometimes people apply the wrong things to progress. To much of the training related info out there is to complicated and there is to much contradiction in whats being suggested by magazines, websites etc. Not so weird really that people have a hard time settling for a simple bulletproof plan when they are subjected to info overload. I am glad I found 5/3/1, because then I have a plan and I can let my mind take a break from overanalysing training info. ( ps. not saying 5,3,1 is the only thing that works, but simple and effective methods like that is probably what people should get started to see some progress again ). The you have to change everything up every month paradigm is just fucking with peoples minds and its ruining their consistency in training. Okay sorry for the rant.
Yeah take your rant elsewhere! Joking lol what youāre saying is definitely true. People just need to find a program they can set their mind to an stick with it! Fully believing that the program will work always helps aswell and makes you put all your effort into it.
Day 6, Week 6
Deadlift- 180kg x 4 (PR)
Military press- 80kg x 3 (not on Aquas level of pressing but definitely a PR for me)
Had an awful day before this workout driving for about 6 hours (Fml) and my back was feeling like crap so wasnāt feeling too ready to pull heavy but felt good to rep 4 plates a side wanted 5 reps but didnāt want to risk it not feeling 100%. Will get a video up when I get a chance.

Lol true but canāt help be just a lil jealous of your superman like military press strength!
Just deloading at the moment but have done something to my knee on Friday when it started catching badly everytime I walk down stairs 
been doing a few rehab exercises and it seems to be improving but if anyone has any advice on this kind of knee pain I would really appreciate it.
Have started a new program so will post up the first couple of workouts so the log is up to date.
Back, Day 1
Deadlifts- 160kg x 2, 172.5kg x 2, 185kg x 2 (pr)
Pull ups- Bw x 50
Seated rows- 70kg x 10
Chest, Day 1
Bench- 116kg x 2, 125kg x 2, 135kg x 2
Incline db press- 50kg x 7, 40kg x 16
Abs
135 felt pretty heavy so am a bit worried about hitting the reps but will see how it goes.
Trained shoulders the day after chest which was a mistake as my shoulders were already fatigued so just did some light isolation work.
Back, day 2
Deadlift- 160kg x 4, 172.5kg x 3, 190kg x 2 (Pr)
Pull ups- Bw x 50
Seated row- 75kg x 10
congrats with the pr in deadlift getting closer, 190kg x 2rep is strong!
keep up the good work
Chest, Day 2
Bench- 115kg x 4, 127.5kg x 3, 137.5kg x 1 (not happy with this at all
Incline Db- 50kg x 8 (Pr), 50kg x 6, 45kg x 10
Bench didnt go well at all although it might be because I done a load of dips for the first time on sunday and am still aching from them. Pleased I got the Pr on Db bench though cause it would have been a failure of a workout otherwise.
Thanks Flo, 200kg is in the very near future so will post a vid when it happens
looking forward for the vid man
Fell behind with the log a bit but still working
Triceps-
Dips- 40kg x 7
Machine close grip- 150 x 10
Single arm extensions- 10kg x loads
