Highbar beltless 4x7 175kg
One set more than last week… Feeling way smoother than last week, Need to still work on some form stuff though… Its not just yet where i want it to be… Need to open my hips up a bit more, and sit back almost, Im not satisfied fully with this just yet…

Bench: 4x7 95kg.
Nothing to mention

Pendlay rows 4x10 50kg
Weighted pull ups 4x5 7,5kg
4x submax pull ups

Skipped the rest due to time restraints today.

Mental note to notice my progression:

This is the heaviest ive ever started a volume block. Start of this year 175 highbar beltless was the maximum set 2 weeks out from my competition, now im doing it start of the volume block for sets of 7… LFG.

Same goes for bench, maybe my 1rm hasnt increased to much, but im sure as all hell its gonna blow up soon, The baseline is WAY higher.

Deadlift, same story as bench really, baseline strength is higher then its ever been, just gotta be able to transform it into a sick PR SOON…

Same. Sometimes is good to pause for a moment and appreciate whatever progress u dun. I’m not naturally that way inclined but is good for the soul. Week to week session to session might feel shitty but big picture undeniably is gains.

So they where supposed to be @8, which the 4th rep of 190kg was. The fact that i missed it was more due to low energy, slept fairly bad tonight. Idk… Theoretically the strength should’ve been there. Im gonna make sure i do 190kg x5 (I hope 200kg x 5 aswell) next week. LETS GO.

the 4th rep was a good @8, than what was supposed to be rep 5 i missed.

Ive since posting my previous post came back from my statement, and will most likely be doing 180 for a 4x5 @true8 → the goal is the amrap in 3 weeks.

What have u got set up at home? Actually may have asked you that before… have u added anything?

Not yet, but planning on expanding it a bit rn, probably a sturdier rack to start it off.

Ive got a half rack, a powerbar, a bench, and 290kg worth of plates. (way to much, but i got 2x 40kg.) Not calibrated.
Was the best i could get early covid. However the space i have available is very limited to say the least, so imo not worth investing in competition plates just yet. Its a 2,20x3m ish space, so its just enough to fit my stuff lol. But its my own place, so that adds value imo!

Tempo Pause squat: @8!
3x5 180kg
1x5 200kg !
Pr, this has been my goal since i requested tempo squats with the coach, Big fat pr.
Tempo could have been more controlled, same for the pause. Coach will be deciding the weights for me from the next block, but fucking great to have this in the books!

Today’s stuff

Squat: 3x3 197.5
Very easy.

Bench: 4x3 107,5kg
Very easy.

Deadlift 3x3 190kg
Same.

Honestly, mostly to not feel cramped. Right now its a cool space, but no space to move my fucking ass lol. I cant just sit down inbetween sets, or have any space for another machine.
