That might work but create a ton of fatigue if I do singles on both variations of deadlifts. I’ll see if I can handle it 
Obvious don’t push the 18 singles to the max, just something heavy.

Feeling off. Probably fighting of a virus or something. Everyone around me is sick rn, so that would make sense. Felt good enough to train but my body didn’t want to lift heavy weights apparently.
1 deadlift (simulated longhorn bar)
Up to
1 @ 190 kg
1 @ 210 kg
1 @ 222,5 kg - called it here. 235 was planned but this was painfully slow.
2 x 1 @ 210 kg
1 @ 220 kg
My deadlift is getting weaker week by week right now. It bothers me a great deal but trying to go up in weight would have been nonsense today. Also tried a new belt position but will stay at the original one.
2 16" deadlift (power bar)
1 @ 240 kg - wanted to do a triple but the platform fell apart
3 bent over rows
3 x 5 @ 130 kg
Notes:
- I’m too tired to type up anything rn. Stuff is not going great. Comp 19th of November and 3rd of December. Could use some help making the most of the remaining time as far as the deadlift peak(s) go, so if anyone has ideas or knows someone with a good idea, feel free

1 barbell box jumps
3 x 5 @ 50 kg
2 paused btn push press
5 x 3 @ 110 kg
1 @ 120 kg
0 @ 125 kg - really no problem. Legs and in general tired. I’m not mad and this wasn’t planned anyway.
3 pull ups
As many triples as possible in 10 minutes
10 x 3 - but varying in quality, haha
4 dips
5 x 6 @ 15 kg
5a unilateral preacher curl with slow ecc.
4 x 8 @ 15 kg
5b external shoulder rotation
4 x 8 @ 10 kg
Weighted vest walk 1 km with 30 kg.
Because I bought a 30 kg vest off of someone and don’t own a vehicle, haha. 30 kg is heavy.
Notes:
- skipped my lower body workout for recovery purposes and also decided to not do the overhead medley. Next week I’ll start the final push towards competitions.
- Things are crazy but I’m managing reasonably well.

Now that I had another… turbulent (but not that terrible at all in the grand scheme of things) experience in my private life, I was reminded how much I actually keep coming back to this evening.
I still will not accept any negativity in relation to that encounter and I’m, beyond grateful for that experience but it is fucking hard to deal with and today is a great reminder of that. I would never wish to not have experienced it. While I wish for a different outcome everyday, I will never not be grateful.
I know that sounds cryptic and like the diaries of an emo teenager. Like always, I do not care one bit.

@SvenG @T3hPwnisher @anna_5588 how heavy qre your weight vests that you use for GPP?
I got a 30 kg vest for 50 euros yesterday which seemed like a good opportunity. Wore it for the way home from the seller and it was quite the difference to 10 kg. Especially for the neck and upper back. So I’m thinking of increasing the load to 20 kg at first and then gradually to 30 kg.

Nice! Mine is adjustable in 1-kg increments up to 30 kg total. I started at about 10% bodyweight and added something like 2-kg at a time until I hit the max.
If yours was only 50 euros, then you got a good deal!

I don’t have a vest. I throw weights into a hiking backpack. Usually 25-30lbs. Anything more pisses my neck off too much

Killer deal!
I use an 80lb vest. About 36kg

Sounds like I have a bit of catching up to you three. Especially if we take body weight into consideration, haha.

Or maybe I need to catch you on bodyweight, haha

Haha it would be amazing to see what you could do at that weight to be honest.
I am steadily at 120 kg these days. How far is that for you?
I haven’t weighed myself in a while, but I would estimate around 86kg

Weighted vest walk
3,4 km in 36 min. with 19 kg.
Definitely different to 10 kg. Was just feeling this out and tracked the time but didn’t really try to be super fast. Slightly different route as well.

I have the same as @SvenG up to 30kg in 1kg increments but mine has been sitting in the shoe cupboard doing nothing for a long time. Thankyou for reminding me that it’s there. Now I need to find some good ways to use it.

Something is up with my body but I can’t figure out what yet. Didn’t hinder my training too much though.
1 btn split jerk
1 @ 120 kg
8 x 1 @ 125 kg
1 @ 130 kg
Some really solid reps among these. The cheeky 130 were a bit unstable but the 10th work set after all.
2 btn push press
6 x 5 @ 110 kg
Hard work today.
3 lat pull down
4 x 12 @ stack 14
4a later raises
4 x 12-15 @ 12,5 kg
4b strict curls (back at wall)
4 x 5 @ 42,5 kg
5 face pulls
3 x 15-20 @ stack 4
Notes:
- over all a long and gritty but very good session.

1 deadlift (simulated longhorn bar)
Up to
2 @ 180 kg
1 @ 200 kg - really good
1 @ 220 kg - super good!
1 @ 232,5 kg - moved slow but actually felt a bit smoother than it looked. Not sure what to think of this but better than last week.
3 @ 210 kg - full reset.
2 18 inch deadlift (power bar)
Up to
1 @ 220 kg
1 @ 250 kg - lol 
3 @ 220 kg
Needs more getting used to. 265 kg would be nice for the comp
3 leg curls
2 x 15 @ 20 kg dimbbell
15 @ 25 kg
4 45° back raises
3 x 25
The top set was a tad heavy probably but this session finally felt productive again.

1 overhead medley
Barbell - axle - log - log
80 - 90 - 100 - 110 kg
2 runs and a failed 3rd run (fumbled the log). Didn’t want to take that again. It’s just a technicality.
2 paused btn push press
6 x 2 @ 115 kg
3 pull ups (as many triples as possible in 10 min.)
10 x 3
4 dips
6 x 4 @ +20 kg - probably volume PR
5a powell raises
3 x 10 @ 7,5 kg
5b biceps curls on rings
3 x 8-10
Notes:
- left shoulder a bit buggy.
- mental health a bit buggy.
- erectors feeling stiff as steel beams (DOMS).
