With hindsight, I should have deadlifted tonight rather than benched - chest was a little sore still from Saturday, so didn’t push the main movement too much. Still, was pleased with the 120 - that was my best max a few months back!! More there too.

Meh, average session - deadlifts felt really awkward today - nearly failed the 220kg ffs!! Plan was for a heavy triple @ 9, but it didn’t feel great so hit a couple of singles and called it there.
used the long band I have and looped those over the bar and stood on them - bands were about a half inch inside the rings, pretty tough!

Pretty good pressing session again - all felt pretty strong, apart from the regular bench against bands…the set-up is a tad awkward being looped under the bar. The slightest deviation throws out the entire line!!
Turns out I strained my back from yesterday, so need to take it easy for a few days on that…legs on Friday may consist of machine work etc we’ll see…

Got bored revising today, so had a late one at the gym…pretty good session, pleased I went now! Massive bench PR for me - that is 10kg on my comp bench from Dec.
Thought the 135 was on, but I paused too long and only got half way - should get it with a spotter there to lift in.
Struggled swinging the db’s in to place to press - will finish that off with some GPP tomorrow.

Great session - was a little tentative with my sore back, but a decent warm up and some blue heat made all that fine. The 230s were quick and smooth, probably could have doubled the first set…
Kept both the other pulls fast and with minimal rest - just enough time to change the weight generally. Total session time - 50 mins or so.

Short and sharp again, going to add in GPP tomorrow…need revision time for uni. craic.
Pressing felt pretty strong, better than last week at any rate. Left pec is still tight, will probably arrange for some more massages and have a couple treatments.

Everything is going pretty well man. I keep a log over at IM. Thats where I spend most of my time these days other than checking certain threads/logs around here.
I understand, I guess I will just continue to struggle working out your damn kg numbers

Those floor presses weren’t with reverse bands, no?! That’s farking strong; better than my best floor press. Your strength is really on the up at the mo!
the movements were - bench against light bands, floor press and reverse band cgbp…
had a good 2-3 second pause on the floor press reps too - the 135 was TOUGH, real grind.
Thanks, strength is going very well at the minute - pulled 245 dead this morning too, I am going for heavy bench tomorrow night - maybe 135 paused, or see how heavy I can go ‘tng’…
If only I could get my knee issues solved, think I am going for a referral on BUPA.
Maaaannn, that blows my best floor press out of the water. Having said that, my levers mean that floor pressing is a pretty tough exercise for me, my ROM is pretty similar to a normal bench press.
Great training dude, and great deadlift PR! I had a question about powerlifting comps in England - how? lol. I’ve done a google but can’t find anything that helpful - I’m thinking I might try and find a comp for next year but know nothing about the federations or anything here.
weight in kgs…I just cant be bothered to work it out!
