Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

Back in the comp in October last year it was 120kg. Haven’t tested it since then.

Thanks @mortdk looks like your deadlift numbers are slowly coming back. Nice

yeah slowly does it, Deadlift and squat are the lifts that has suffered least.

Dewit. Test it now

Na got a other week in this block and then I might run a little peaking block for a few weeks. No comp likely in May but I’ll just test on my own.

Might as well see where you’re at. It’s not often that we peak so you might as well test.

Yep my thoughts exactly. I’ll test at the beginning of May, then deload and then switch to some hypertrophy work to give my a bit of a break.

Back was not happy after that last set of deadlifts. Think it’s just muscle tightness but scaled back the squats just in case. Will rest up over the weekend and hopefully it will be all good.

Now that’s a set of deads.

Also, I saw the vid with your flexed calves and was wondering just wtf that was about. Turns out it was a guns show, but for your leg biceps.

Back is really feeling it now. The calves show was for some other members who needed some motivation ! Lol

Set one and two from tonight.
