Good workout, overhead pressing feeling strong, hoping to get to 100kg push press in the coming weeks. 90kg felt fairly good. Was surprised to hit it, as the initial push wasnt great, and bar froze half way up, but triceps managed to lock it out. Did some heavier back extensions, and through in a few rows, as like to have some balance in my push workouts and to hit the rear delts/traps a bit.

Good workout, wanted to start with close grip bench as realised previously how strong it feels, and wondered where my max would be in comparison to regular bench. Think potentially 105kg my max on CG. Wanted to do some paused benching as hoping that will help to bring up my regular bench, which has stalled a bit, albeit I've been neglecting it. Wanted to do some dumbbell presses, as been focused on barbell presses recently. Felt fairly strong, and achieved a new best on one arm dumbbell clean and push press with my right hand, but couldnt lock the weight out on my left, triceps were pretty shot.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

Was meant to be doing deadlifts today, but for some reason deadlifts have been flaring up existing lower back injury so left them again and hit some legs instead. Plan to do deadlifts and some back training on the 28th with my training partner.

Having previously realised how strong my close grip bench is, and having watched some Mark Bell benching vids, I decided I needed to change up my technique. I've always thought the wider the grip, the stronger my bench would be, but after hitting 110kg on one workout back in late Nov/early Dec, my bench has stalled and gone backwards a bit and I was struggling to get 105kg. Today, I brought my grip width right in, inside the rings, brought my feet in under my knees, ensuring my knees were lower than my hips, and tucked my arms into my sides as I went down. Aside from feeling quite unstable, presumably as the technique was quite different to what I was used to, I felt really strong on all my sets, and managed 110kg fairly comfortably. I'm hoping this adjustment is what I need to start hitting bench press PRs again, and am hoping to achieve a new max, at 112.5kg, next time I bench press.

Dont want to completely neglect my chest, and wide grip bench, so threw in some wide grip paused bench (3 second pause). Was without a spot, so didnt go too heavy, but liked the higher reps, and will look to add a little weight, gradually to this.

Told my workout partner I'd show him through the changes to my technique, so quickly did some bench at the start of this workout. Benched yesterday, so wasn't expecting too much, but in the end felt very strong, and hit a new max fairly comfortably. Very pleased.
Wanted to train back today, but my lower back had been hurting since yesterday night. Started off with seated rows, as can do those without hurting my back. Felt fairly strong, and back was feeling ok, so decided to do some deadlifts. Didn't have my belt, or any chalk, and haven't deadlifted heavy for a few weeks, so didn't get up to my max, but felt fairly good.

Pleased with the 102.5kg set, and probably could have got a 5th rep, but saved myself for a heavier set. I was training on my own today, and so asked a random for a spot on the 110kg set. Unfortunately they didn't understand that I wanted to get a rep or two on my own, and kept there hands on the bar the whole time, so not really counting this set. Definitely had the first rep on my own, no idea about the second. We'll try it again, or heavier, with a better spot next time.

As far as I can remember, I've not been above 102.5kg on front squats before, and it's been a while since I've focused a workout on them, so there was plenty of room to set some PBs today. I also switched from a cross armed grip to a cleaned grip using straps, which felt much more solid. Very Pleased with how these went.

Rippppp. My shorts, which are quit old and battered, tore pretty badly as I did the 90kg set. Annoyingly I was feeling strong and looking forward to seeing what I could do. Not 'alpha' enough to continue training anyway, I stopped my leg workout there, and just finished with some farmers walks.

New heaviest weight. Don't plan to go over 40m much in terms of distance, definitely could be going heavier as things stand. Want to build up to the 60kg Dumbbells for 20m, could probably do around 44-48kg over that distance currently.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

Summary Update: 2nd February
Deadlift: 162.5kg
Bench press: 112.5kg
Squat: 142.5kg
Total: 417.5kg (918.5lbs)
Some progress made, but interrupted by Christmas, exams and illness. Now feeling in a good position to set some new personal bests in the next few weeks.
Failing any further setbacks, by 31st March (7.5 weeks) I'd like to be hitting:
Deadlift: 172.5kg
Bench: 117.5kg
Squat: 150kg
Total: 440kg (968lbs)
Which would put me nice and close to my achieving a goal of mine, the 1000lb club.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

Obviously hadn't planned to deadlift today, as did them yesterday. However I was talking to the two strongest guys who go to my gym, who said I should work in with them today when I said I was struggling with them. Decided it was probably too good an opportunity to miss so did some deadlifts at the end of the workout. They said my technique looked fine and gave me a couple of pointers. I'm hoping this is the push I need to start adding weight to my deadlift again, certainly felt a lot more solid than yesterday.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

Due to some personal stuff, Felt really tired and demotivated going into the gym today, and think my workout reflected that. Front squats felt fairly strong, but just didn't have the motivation to really push it. Again the back squats felt ok after, but got to 130kg and really should have either pushed for at least another rep, or gone heavier after, but just left it there. Cut sumo's short and went home.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

90kg went up really quickly, suprisingly so. Wanted to try 92.5kg, as think I should be able to get it, but unfortunately training partner left 5kg off one side of the bar, and I hadn't realised, so went to do the rep, had to reset and then try again, and it threw me off. Will go for 92.5kg next time and expect to hit it.

Couldn't be much happier with how these deadlifts went, felt super strong. Used chalk for the first time today, which really helped my grip and gave me some added confidence. Previous heaviest 5 rep weight that I've done was 140kg, on 14th December 2015, and heaviest 3 rep weight was 147.5kg on 9th December, so pleased with the progress to my 3 and 5 rep maxes, both of which were relatively comfortable. Hadn't planned on doing a new 1 rep max, but given the progress on the previous sets, I decided to go for it. I got the rep, but lacked some explosiveness. Pleased to have hit it, but think it should have gone better and I would like to think I could go heavier.

142.5kg X1. Joint PR
Very happy with these, technique and depth felt really solid, and I hit a new 3 rep max, and I think, a new 5 rep max. 142.5 was equal to my previous one rep max, but it felt pretty comfortable, so I'm confident that I could go 2.5-5kg heavier as things stand.
Front squat
60kg x5
80kg x5
90kg x5
100kg x3
60kg x12
Again, these felt really good, didn't go as heavy as in previous workouts where I focused purely on front squats, but technique and depth felt solid, and my leg and core activation felt very good.

Was not feeling squats at all, planned to aim for 2 reps of 137.5, ended up going for a second rep and got stuck and had to ditch the bar. Never ditched the bar on a back squat before, but had the cage set up properly so went ok.

After the poor back squats, wanted to through something else in before continuing legs so did a few push presses. Felt pretty strong.

Not done much sumo deadlifts in the past, going to introduce them occasionally as something different to work on. Would normally move on to leg presses, hamstring raises etc at this point, but was not feeling good about the workout so left it there.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

Bench not feeling too bad. 112 for 2 felt good, 115 a bit of a struggle, so didnt go any heavier. 95kg and 90kg for 5 felt like good sets, and then really dropped the weight and did some high rep stuff, just focused on explosiveness, pausing on the chest and pushing up half way.

Pretty pleasing deadlift session. Did full reset on each rep, unlike the previous workout where I had done touch and go. And managed to achieve a new 5 rep max and hit 160 for 2. May go for a new 1 rep max attempt soon, currently 165kg, but very confident I can go heavier than that.

The 48kg dumbbells a new heaviest weight for me for farmers walks. Had hoped to get at least one set of 4 lengths, each length 5-7 metres at a guess, but overall pretty pleasing.☆☆☆υк ¢яєω☆☆☆

Overhead press
Both racks were in use and the people had just started and in big groups so decided I'd do overhead presses off the ground, cleaning the bar up to starting position. My clean could really do with some work, and my elbow is hurting a bit after this, but it felt like a really strong way to do the lift.

Shouldn't have bothered with the 90kg attempt, just felt like a nice round number to strice for. If I hadn't done so many build up sets it might have happened, so may try it when freshers at some point in the next few weeks.

Push press felt strong on all the build up sets but for some reason, despite strict press feeling strong at the moment, I just don't seem to be able to get above 95kg push press. Need to look more closely at my technique I think and where I'm falling short.

Thought I'd do some strict dumbbell press, but after doing one set of standing press, I decided I wanted to try seated for a change. Stupidly went straight to 34kg dumbbells, it was a real struggle just to do 4, and I thought **** it and left it there.

Neglected to log my workouts for the last couple of weeks.
