Phlegms current training goal = surpass all of Jake’s all time figurez. 3 reps would have done it. Now you just need to surpass my 117.5kg front and 150kg back and victory it yours.

I’ll hit 122.5kg on front squats next week just for you babes! Also, if my glutes didn’t meet my calves when I squatted I’d probably be squatting 180kg by now :stuck_out_tongue:

Short and sweet today, got everything done in about 40 minutes. Only rested about a minute between sets which made it very brutal. Deads felt solid, could have gone heavier but wanted to work on my set up more so then setting a weight Pr. Bench felt like cake, could easy have gone heavier on that too.

Very good work. 105 bench feeling easy is pretty sweet!

Cheers man, really appreciate it. You should start training everyday and eating more kcals than you’re comfortable with, it’s basically natural roids!

Notes:
Stupid session. Having lots of issues with my lower back cramping and generally not working at all lately. Very frustrating, any time I put weight on the bar to do deads or back squats it starts to cramp and generally feel likes its about to snap, crackle and pop the fuck up. Will have to keep lower back work to GHRs, light RDLs and hyper extensions while it heals for a few weeks. Front squats seem ok though. So frustrating.

Get a full body massage.

roll the shite out of you lower back. It wouldn’t hurt to give the glutes, hip flexors, and hips some love as well.

Almost one hundo percent certain its my hips/Sacroiliac joint fudging up my lower back.

Disregard your spine, and acquire a bench PR
