Bench Press - 5 x 47.5kg, 60kg, 72.5kg, 85kg, 2 x 100kg

No assistance exercises this week in lead up to championships next week (MAY 14TH)
Note on Squat - This felt really good but comes with a negative. The squat rack at my gym does not have moveable safety pins so in order to hit parallel I have to touch the bar off the pins which can sometimes knock my line off. This was really noticeable yesterday. However, so far this has not affected my training and my lifts in competition have pretty much matched up to my predicted 1RM based on what I am lifting in the gym. Suppose Ill find out next week as I am currently looking at a 175kg PB!
04/05/2011
Deadlift - 5 x 105kg, 130kg, 150kg, 172.5kg (REP PB)
Military Press - 5 x 30kg, 40kg, 50kg, 60kg(REP PB)
Squat - 5 x 75kg, 90kg, 107.5kg, 107.5kg
Note on Deadlifts - last set performed with a total reset every rep to make sure technique was as good as possible. Found I lift better with a very narrow stance.
