That’s called ‘efficiency’

If you’ve followed my log you know I hate deloads
Today was a de load
- Squats 2x4 at 140kg and 1x2 at 160kg
- Bench 2x4 at 80kg and 1x2 at 90kg
- Deads 1x4 at 140kg and 1x2 at 160kg
The saving grace being I get to go balls out max reps with 170/92.5/170 on Thursday or Friday so that’s cool
Anyway…I hate deloads

My deloads are just weeks where I don’t train due to other life events. I have one coming up at the end of September where I’m going camping/fishing for a week.

Good day today
Squat 170kg x9
Bench 90kg x10
deadlift 170kg x10
Reviewing the videos for squats and Deads I definitely had more in the tank, it’s just been ages since I’ve done high reps at heavy weights.
The calculation for increasing tms was a bit fucked up…it had my squat 1RM jumping to 235 and dead to 240 which is, imo, not in my cards right now
I’ve taken the moderate adjustments of
Squat 210kg
Bench 120kg
Deadlift 220kg
All numbers I believe I could hit right now.
Onwards and upwards

The Wendler equation comes out to 225 and 220. Your calculator is mean.
It’s good to see you doing non-cheat deadlifts and you definitely quit early. I’ve only done one AMRAP of deads in a long time and my quads were tired from squats. The determining factor for ending the set was the fear of losing control of my knees and hyper-extending one or both of them.

I’m really fucking sore today haha
I am actually happy to hear this. No matter how much stronger I get (albeit at a snails pace) you and @guineapig have a way of making me feel like I am going backwards.

Jesus man you’re strong as hell! You using wraps?
How come you’re using so low on the o-lifts? Just drilling the technique in?
Pre much. Wassa his background? I see oly lifts in here too
No idea, does some powerlifting and some CrossFit I think. @kleinhound what’s your lifting history look like ??

But y
Hahaha I just love to work hard I guess
Started doing muscle and fitness mag workouts in mid 2000s, nothing serious
Saw 300 and decided I wanted to look like that (like everyone else)
Messed around with CrossFit workouts at commercial gyms but with no real plan
Went to uni for exercise physiology and read 531, fell in love with squatting. Learned to how to program
Trained at a strongman/powerlifting gym with Patrick Morrison (manletmorrison) one of AUS best.
No competitive lifting history or anything.

Hey mate, you got it. Drilling technique. I’m super ‘weak’ on the Oly lifts because I’m not yet proficient enough to really transfer my ‘strength’ to those

You need to work on your tan.
And speaking of Spartans, I finished my tattoo today. I’ll post something once the redness chills out. My guy brought my Thin Blue Line flag down and blended it into the Spartan piece.
