I had planned to do 2x5, and the first set moved well, but it felt heavy as fk and my hips are a bit achey, so called it there and did an extra set of SLDL instead

whats the off season plan Andy? R U after gaining some extra weight ?
Im looking to fill out the 90s mate and try be in better condition next time I step on the platform.
I weighed in at 86.9 for Brits this year with a very modest water cut, so I’ve still got a fair bit of growing room. Ideally I think sitting at 95-96 and be in decent condition is the goal for over the next 2 years, then I’ll probably look at moving into the 100’s.
I’m doing a charity Deadlift only comp in October for a bit of fun / motivation to focus on my pull, but thats about it

sounds like a good plan. If you only weighted 87 this year you deff have room to grow a little and still make weight.

Things still moving nicely, and not feeling as heavy today! Inc DB Curls are hard, not done them for years 3rd set ruined me!!
Thats what I’m thinking, I literally water loaded 2 days out from weigh in, then cut fluids to a minimum 12 hours out and had 2 red hot showers the night before, so with a properly planned cut I reckon I could sit around 95kg and get down easily enough.
I dont mind cutting a bit but I don’t want to be trying to drop like 8-9kg and feeling like utter shit doing it

Quite surprised at this, as I went to a Chinese Buffet last night for my Brother in laws birthday, and I overate quite a bit!!
I mainly ate meat though instead of filling up on noodles etc so that may be why.

Thats the Deload done with, rest up now ready to start the new block next week! Going from 7s into 6s, keeping the volume pretty high while I’m still trying to add some mass to the frame!
Good to see a man who knows his buffet strategy.
It wasn’t my first buffet!

Its nice to be Benching again, my shoulder feels good. Only time I get any pain now is if I roll onto it in my sleep. The volume was a killer today but I’ll get used to it!

Low bar felt like crap after not doing it in 5 weeks, hoping it doesn’t take long to find my form again! I can’t complain at how things moved, it just didn’t feel good.
