Thanks mate.
It was about 1.5 inches or so. It's a 25kg eleiko bumper plate.
Awesome to see some logging In here!
Very strong deficits- those are tough
Good luck with the weight loss! Hopefully all the health problems straighten out ASAP
Nice. I`m toying with the idea of throwing these in. I`m weak off the floor. Was thinking:
Week 1: From the floor
Week 2: Deficit
Week 3: From the floor
Week 4: From knees
What do you reckon?
Awesome session man! 9 reps on deads; that's intense :eek:

Hey whats up Woody?
Thanks man but I won't be happy until I nail 500.
Already lost 8 lbs and feeling a lot better.
Will check in on your journal soon.

I'm also weak off the floor.
From now on I plan to only do deficit deads until me form turns to ****e...then I'll pull from the floor on my last set or two.
This way those last two sets should feel easier than usual after the deficit.
I would suggest the same for yourself mate. Really attack any weakness. I wouldn't bother with rack pulls atm unless there is a lockout problem.
I'll race ya to 220kg :)

Deal. Gonna try deficits this week. Last week was 190x3 so a bit of work to do. Lifetime best is 210kg so 220kg would be a good target.
Dammit ##$#. Now I'm ill with a cold. Missed yesterday's press session and won't be squatting today either.
Why thw hell isn't there a cure for the common cold yet?
;)

A cure for the common cold would be bad for business even though these remedies don't actually cure the cold but make big bucks for the big pharma.

Agreed mate. Kinda like shooting yourself in the foot. :D
Finally Darren! :cool:
What format of 5/3/1 will you be training by? Any certain days? I'm guessing the original basic one since you have been out of the game for a bit.

Sup buddy!? Haha yep finally got around to it again:D
Although I haven't been logging I have still been training as usual mate. No slacking here ;)
To keep things fresh and motivating I have designed our program (me and my training partner) like this:
Weeks 1-3
Wendler's 5/3/1
Week 1 - 3x3 up to 3+ reps with 90%
Week 2 - 3x5 up to 5+ reps with 85%
Week 3 - 531 Finish off with a couple of singles at 90-95% of 1RM (Not our training max.)
Weeks 4-6 is more of a bodybuilders approach to things.
Week 7 - DELOAD!
Start next cycle.
In Weeks 4-6 the first exercise will always be for 5 reps (Try for a new 5RM).
Sounds way too complicated for me!
Good luck with it!
Very interesting programming; looking forward to seeing how well you respond to it!
Thanks guys...

By now Darren must be lifting soo much weight that he can't bear to post it and sound humble at the same time :).
Anyone still around?
Toying with the idea of starting logging my training again for motivational purposes ππ

Hello friend, long time -- strong 5-year bump!
I take it you are still lifting? Everything going well for you?
If you start journaling again, I will of course follow. As for me, I only keep track of my workouts on my phone.
