Thanks man, and hahaha yeah I know, they're not good technique wise yet. Need to work on a load of things but it'll come with time I'm sure
definitely... My technique is pretty bad with them too... but I just lack the dedication to put the time for them. My new gym does have wooden technique plates so I might make sure of that, do 10 singles every day or something to get the hang of it.

Yeah that sounds good.
Adam gave me some good pointers on improving my form. E.g. suggested every time I go to the gym just getting the bar and practising holding it in the clean grip position so I can work on my wrists flexibility, so the bar actually rests on my delts in the finish position. Also need to work on my leg drive, hips and bar path. Just need to get more practice down really.
Power cleans are definitely a lot harder than they look though lol, they take a lot of energy to perform
Strong benching mayne, you'll have 110 x 5 in no time.
Very strong incline pressing for post benching too.
Looks like squat is going as per planned
Lol I've stopped caring about the weights on triceps/biceps isolation exercises now, I'll obviously aim to progress them but I want growth more than anything from them.
Might start pyramiding CGBP though as it can be beneficial to do it heavier... idk I can't decide lol
Wont bother logging my ramping sets for deadlifts anymore until I change them, only logging my top set
Deadlifts
185kgx4
I didn't record this so I have no idea on whether or not a fifth was reachable...the 4th rep felt hard so maybe its good i stopped there.
Might go to 187.5 next workout though, I'll see how I feel on the day
Power cleans
Worked on technique on these today so wont log them, I can finally get the bar to rest on my delts......but it hurts the hell out of my wrists
Weighted pull ups
BW+8kgx6
BW+8kgx6
BWx8
HS One arm row
60kgx8 right, 8 left
60kgx6 drop set to 40kgx5 for both arms
HS Lat pull down
80kgx10
90kgx10
Feeling the lats loads in this movement now I've lightened the load a bit, feels good
Note: I'm doing 2 more sets for my right leg because its lagging slightly in terms of size and it shows lol. Would post the imgur pic but its absolutely huge so I'll try and edit it and post a smaller version later on. Yes the weight is light on these, but IDGAF
great work with the benching mayne!
narrower grip made you feel stronger? hmm.. well thats a sign of stronger triceps, not that common haha. doesnt matter though, whatever works for you!
those inclines presses are still nuts too

Thanks man, once I hit 110kgx5 I will video it
It wasn't that much narrower, I just moved my pinky in a tiny bit... I think I was using a too-wider grip before so it was a lot more chest and not enough tri's doing the work? IDK, I was happy either way
and no my spotter did not touch me, his hands did not touch my elbows or help me up. Watch the vid carefully.
RDL's
80kgx10
80kgx10
Having to lighten the weight on these so I can actually feel it in my hamstrings lol, I've done (and have a video) of me doing 130kg before but idk... I don't feel it as much as I get heavier
Leg Extensions
80kgx12
80kgx12
Single leg extension
Right leg only: 30kgx12

HS Leg Press RP

yus. 320kg next workout for some intense RP lol
then did some calf work... nothing worth logging though.
great work on those squats man!
depth was great on every rep, very strong stuff.
do you feel it more in your hamstrings with the 80kg? seems odd..
maybe compare some videos one time and see if there's a difference.
great stuff is being done in here though, KnowOrigin

ok I fell behind on logging so I've got two workouts to log, I'll do the one from yesterday now, and from today tomorrow morning for opTimAL bUmP.
not srs.
ok, semi-srs.
Push Day
Bench Press
107.5kgx4
110kgx3 (vid)
105kgx2
107.5kg didn't feel any easier, so I might re-set to 105kg if i don't get 5 reps of 107.5kg next workout. My progression from 100kg-105kg was very smooth and consistent and now I've like hit a wall. Only hit 110kg for a video (and I barely got the 3rd rep lol) so I knew my third set of bench wouldn't be good but w/e
all warm up sets flew up like a breeze, felt good.
Then I kinda improvised and did a back workout like this
Pull ups superset with cable rows 2 sets
Dumbbell rows 2 sets
Lat pull down cable 1 set
HS lat pull down 1 triple drop set
Reverse cable fly's 1 drop set
Shrugs 1 set
then some biceps.
Didn't log because its not my usual routine, and it was literally rushed because I'd taken quite a while on Deadlifts. But in terms of the weight moved the deadlifts are all I care about ^^
No video, I will video when I get 210kg.
Soon.jpeg
happy about these, will get a vid in a few weeks probably
then the rest of the workout was improvised and very random cause i didn't have long. Some of the exercises are like 'lol wtf why' but idk, it was a one off
Incline BB superset with incline Db fly's
70kgx12, 22kgx8 DB fly's
80kgx8, 22kgx6 DB fly's
HS Chest Press
80kgx10, x3, x2, x1
Decline BB
60kgx5
HS Chest Press (again)
40kgx20
Cambered bar cable press down
25kgx20
25kgx12, x5
Reverse grip tricep press down
15kgx15
Random. Will go back to my usual routine next session, just had to rush this one lol
Beastly squats and bench man. Do you prefer high bar over low bar?

Have strayed off this recently due to exams/stress lol. Still been training but nothing new to report really.
Current 1RMs:
Bench 120kg
Deadlift 210kg
Squat: Estimate between 145-150kg - but I have no idea to be honest. I haven't maxed squats and I've burned my CNS out so I wont be maxing out for a while now until I'm fresh again.
Currently doing a de-load week cause of decreased performance/minor back strain so I'll log these for the sake of keeping this up to date... nothing exciting going to happening for a week or so reallllly.
Not sure if I'll squat or DL this week i'll see how I feel.
Push Day Deload
Bench Press - Paused

need to find a better way to do these, on a lat machine my knees are too close together and it doesn't feel good..
Leg extensions
80kgx10, x6, x5, 20s rest between sets
Leg Curls
60kgx11, x6, x4, 20s rest between sets
Seated leg press
150kgx12, x4, x4, 20s rest between sets
I like RP/myoreps, feels good even though its only one set lol.
Squats felt okay, 100kgx10 was easy, 135kg was fine too, never felt like I wasn't going to get the reps so sweet. Will probably jump back at 140kg next session
