Brahh you are 100% without a doubt stronger than me at the moment. I think you’re the dead favourite for the 315 bench. I feel like at some point in my training I had a 305+ TNG back when I paused 295, but not even close to that now that I haven’t been training properly. Excuses excuses! Your deadlifts looked like nothing btw.

Mini block review:
Been a solid mini-block.
With life things getting in the way and me going big in the 3rd week to capitalise on the mini peak to mini test it’s been a short one. I’ll call it there, back off and build up again.
Been the best chance to test near max work since my back injury rehab/rebuild got best lifts:
Squat w Wraps 190kg x 3
Bench 135kg x 1
Deadlift 240kg x 4
Squat is still not quite caught up to pre back injury levels so may need to shift focus a bit. Dunno exactly what it is. When in doubt make more muscles I guess lol.
Bench and deadlift are pushing into new territory but might chill on em if it means squats move better.
More of the same on bench just heavier weights.
For deads gonna hammer posterior chain a bit harder because either my glutes ain’t strong enough or my erectors ain’t because I was losing position /rounding my back a bit on my heaviest deads and my spinal erectors were destroyed for days after that.

Bit of fucking around today and probably good to get it in because just saw the announcement that we going into shut down.
Defeated the gym nemesis in some albeit he was fatigued from some warm up boxing: bench press, DB bench and arm wrestling lol. He got pretty close when I handicapped myself but no cigar today.

I’ll see you guys on the other side of this shutdown. Might go to jail for sneaking out to the gym I dunno. Stay safe and hope y’all pull thru alright.
EDIT: at this rate maybe only thing I could train is arm wrestling at home lol. Maybs some stone lifting… what is the heaviest thing I could access? I got some loadable DBs but that ain’t shit like 20-25kg each tops.

did you just take a pic or take it home !
Mate it was gone so fast I was almost got done for shoplifting
Good on ya, looks like it will be really useful. I have a pair of old adjustable dumbells in the shed, they go up to 18kg each I think. There a little rusty, not too pretty, but there yours on free long term loan if you wanna pick em up.
Thanks big fella but uh I raise u; I have 20kg adjustable DBs of u need em lol.
Personally I’m need DBs that push up to 50kg + but they are all sold out just as some good fortune means I don’t have to spend big on a rack/bench/bar/weights.
If you know anyone who needs DBs also I can make em available.

Got a rack, bench and weights now.
Just need a barbell and seems pretty hard to get hands on one. Not too many around and pretty expensive
How much is a steel rod from Bunnings lol.
