Had 1-2 left on bench so will go up to 115kg on Friday. Most I've benched since being back in Oz so happy with that.

Just got the last rep with 115kg but was slow. I'll go up to 120kg on Friday for the triple, then reset or something. Not sure what I should do...

Very happy with the triple with 120kg. It's pretty much my best (at this weight). Third rep was slow so will reset on Monday to 105kg and build up 2.5kg a week from there. After I stall the next time, it's time to change programs.

Reset the bench to 105kg. Was pretty comfortable. Good place to start from for the next wave. Hopefully hit at least 120x5 but aiming for 125x5.

110kg was easier than when I did it last time a few weeks ago so still looking good.

Dips were a joke... Keep on adding 2.5kg and it's not getting any more difficult.

weight is about 104kg

Tried a new ab exercise today... was good except I'm already doing the whole stack on the machine so all I can do is add reps each week or stick a plate / DB to it or something.

Disappointing day. Was more confident on the deads than I was with the OHP and I failed miserably on deads... go figure. Also, deads have always been my best lift, yet at the moment, it's my chittest. I think +10kg a week is too much for me. Will reset to 170kg and increase 5kg a week.

Think I'll reset on OHP too. The 4th rep was a grinder so wasn't even close to getting the 5th. If it was closer, I would reattempt but don't think there's any point.

Decent day after Wednesday... Bench was comfortable still. Starting to feel the weight on dips but still fairly easy. Hopefully hit 120x5+ on bench!

Pretty good day. Had 1-2 left on OHP... Deads felt smooth. Adding 5kg per week from here should be fine. Hoping to hit 210x5!

Tweaked pec from Monday turned out to be nothing, luckily.

My plan to eat a lot over the weekend seems to have worked as bench was comfortable. Had at least 2 left, maybe even 3. Looking good to hit 120x5+!

OHP felt good. 8th rep went up smooth. Prob had 1-2 left. Few weeks back when I did this weight, I had to cheat to get the 8th up so bit of progression there.

Deads were feeling good for all the warmup sets then 175 felt heavy. still got the 5 OK, but was hoping it would be easier.

Good day. Bench went up nice and comfortable. Prob had 2 reps left in the tank. Back up to 120kg on Friday! Just as long as something strange doesn't happen, I reckon I should be able to hit 122.5x5 but hopefully 125x5. Then I should be able to bench 3 plates again. Last time was back in 2010... so yeah, WELL overdue.

Wow, what can I say. Public holiday here in Oz so I did a morning session rather than my usual evening session after work. OHP felt OK, but reckon it would've felt better after work if I had done it then like normal, but still managed to get 8 reps out. Few weeks back I got 6 out so an extra 2 is nice...
But then came deadlifts. I don't know wtf is happening at the moment. I'm almost at PB territory with bench but yet MILES behind a PB in my deadlift... The only reason I can think of is that I'm so inflexible at the moment, I'm having trouble even touching my knees when I bend over. This, I feel, makes it difficult for me to get into a good position. It feels like my shoulders are way over the bar and I'm pulling from my toes, instead of shoulders behind bar and pulling from heals. So yeah, going to dedicate a few days a week to stretching... Anyway, will give it a go next week after work and hopefully smash the 5 this time.

Bench was slower than I was hoping. Hopefully it turns out like it was a couple of weeks back where Friday's triple was hard, but then the 5 on Monday was easy. Just got to eat a lot and hopefully will happen again.
