Looking good so far, I'm following mate. Strong benching.
Is there any reason you do all these weightlifting movements(sport or competition) or is it just for fun?

Thanks bruh! Shame I can't get 2 uninjured months together, but I'm starting a modified madcows in a few weeks so i should be good on that.. (fingers crossed..)
I do track so it's just skill development on snatch and on clean with a goal of getting more explosive.
Plus weightlifting is great for mobility, confidence and CNS recruitment!

Next week im doing a "deload" week where I dont follow the big lifts - instead Im going to work on accessories/change the main lifts. Lifters may not need a deload but I do track too and am buggered + on the edge of possible injury and the lifts are going really well so no point risking it - this week might help to strengthen some weak links and refocus me too.

keep it up mate
strong curl btw
I know how you feel about needing a break from the same few lifts day after day.

Also great benching man.
