Bit of a cheap PR but 1st time round this cycle I got 10 so I wanted to progress if only a little. Next week is 125 and I ll think I ll shoot for a comfortable 8 as supposed to PR equalling (10) in order to shoot for 130 x 8-10 the week after.

175kg x 8 equals a PR, I think Id probably have more, im still aching from squatting and benching after my 10 day illness spate.

Ive planned out the next 3 months of 5/3/1 on excel and things are looking good. Im back at 85-86kg at the moment, might get some pics done later today.

125 x 8 is fine, probably had 12 if I pushed it but saw no reason too, pulled hamstring seems ok. 132.5 next week, shoot for a 6 I think.

All this light squatting seems to be doing whats its intended for- not hurt my knee (which is improving), improve form and build up more of a squatting base. 140kg x 10 and 180 x any here we come.

First deadlift PR in about a year. Felt really easy too. Pulled 175 x 8 last week so 10kg up in a week is good going. Works out to a 234-235kg 1rm.

Hit what I needed and left. Just going to aim for the same for everything on this 5/3/1 week then re-asses where I am at the end of the week. Programme says deload but since ive been in bed for 5 days I might leave this deload out and crack on.

Happy with the deadlifts given im not 100% still post swines. Goal for next cycle is 200 x 6-8, I think that is very doable given 4 weeks more training to get back into things.

Good session, got the pump on. I suck massive cock at shoulder pressing. Thats this cycle done. **** deloading, that can wait until after this cycle. This 4 weeks is going to be good gym wise, got virtually zero distractions so I can crack the **** on.

Benching all paused as per usual. Still a way off PR levels (110 x 10). My recent illnesses have decked my upper body strength, Bench, MP and chin strength all down still.

I think im fagging my upper back training at the moment, im getting in the volume but Im not doing much heavy. I think I need to add in something heavier, either DB rows, shrugs or heavy bent over rows maybe.
