Today was the last day of the mesocycle. 365x10x3

10 sets of triples with my max 3 weeks ago. People telling me I look tired all the time. But fuck it. I did it. I beat the mesocycle.

Also did arms

Curls, 135x6PR Much stricter form.
115x3x10

Reverse grip bench on smith machine

went up to 2 plates for 10 reps for 3 sets. Its pretty gay.

took the week off, back

135x10
225x10
315x2
385x1 RAW PR
405x1 RAW PR
425x1 RAW PR NEW PR spotter told me to stop bouncing off calves
365x5 RAW 5 RM PR
315X5

One of the bigger dudes in my gym (competing BB, used to PL) told me that if I I strengthened my hams to the same level as my quads I could squat a lot more. Also my abs are fairly weak so I’m gonna train them every day. and I’m going to train hamstrings twice a week.

Hearing this news I did:

Wide Stance Box squats - speed work with 225x5 for 5 sets
Stiff leg deadlifts 315x5
ham curls

Happy that I got my PR. I did a max test the first day and it was 335, I didn’t go higher than that because it felt pretty hard and slow. after the first few days I increased that max to 365 in excel for new numbers, and trained with those. so I increased somewhere between 60-90 lbs on the squat, doing just squats.

update:

Bench, 315x7
Squat, 365x6 (I’m sure I could do more, will do on thursday)
I cant deadlift yet, but my bent over row is at 315x5, overhand
Start of week 7, injections all gone smoothly so far.

Wait you strengthen your legs and you can squat more? say it aint so… :stuck_out_tongue:

No but really if you after ‘lifting more weight’ and not body building, sure go for it. Some pro’s don’t do squats cause their hamstrings overpower their quads.
