Benchpress => I should only add 2.5 kg after 60 kg and tried 5 reps. Maybe next time. With 65 kg I tried to 3 reps, but I lost bar bath on way up.
Deadlift => PR on 5 / 3 / 1 reps
I was able deadlift 117 kg for 3 reps month ago. Today I didn’t fell a well for hit a PR on deadlift. Deadlift with 117 kg for 5 reps was easy, better than last time, so I decided to add weight 5 kg on each side. The plan was at least 1 RP with 127 kg, which would be my lifetime PR on deadlift, but I was surprised with 3 reps. Then I added 2.5 kg on each side, borrowed belt and tried to lift 132 kg. First half of deadlift was slow, but after I was around knee level, it was no problem to finish lift.
After that I tried to deadlift 137 kg, but I was not able to lift the bar from the floor, probably due the accumulated fatigue, so maybe next time…

Very slow reps on squats. Speed was compromised in the middle part of the lift. Normally, I would finish lift and put the bar in the rack, but I wanted to do at least 10 reps.

Finaly get more comfortable on squats after while. I am using wider stance than before, feets are more pointed to the sides. I think I have good mobility at shoulders and wrists, but I tried wider grip and find out, that if I push my elbows down during concentric phase of lift, I dont have tendency to failing forward. Also I dont use shoes during on squats, so I feel more stable with my feets screw into the ground.

Next week starting with 5x5/3/1 anchor cycle. Yesterday I felt some pain in my lower back, probably I pulled with slighty twisted back…after get reps on hyperextensions, I felt only slighty soreness. I have to devote some time on warm up, I only did a few sets of this, then few set of this last time and It was not enough…

Since I changed job in february, I started to move more. Every day from monday to friday I am walking to the work. At previous work I had company car and I used this car to move not only to my clients, but even from home to work and vice versa. I am living in small town (population estimated 45k), so distance between my home and work is only 3,5 km and it takes about 30 - 38 minutes.
