Having your strength nearly back after a long layoff is great news dude! Let us know how it is training with someone; I know you've trained solo like me for the longest time. Let's hope the nagging injuries and such stay away this time. What kind of training program are you using?

Training with someone else seems to be really working out for me. I'm able to push myself and get more aggressive with the weights like never before.
No actual program atm, but lots of 5x5 on the compounds, plus some max attempts here and there. 3 more sessions then a rest for a week THEN we will be doing more of a Westside/5x5 thing.

Nice work on the deads man! Is 200 kg close to your PR? I don't remember. What kind of stuff do you do for your ab work?

Thanks Scott. I am weakest off the floor (as always) so I'll be moving into mainly snatch grip DLs or deficit DLs. Squats are getting back up there

Funny thing is, after training with someone now for 4 weeks I don't think I could ever go back to training on my own again. Thanks mate.

**TKD** · 04-22-2013, 12:26 PM

Totally blown away by the squat effort today. My training partner, Jocke, matches me almost kilo for kilo on almost everything lol. He also took 170kg for a ride. Incredible when you think he was only squatting 220lbs for a few reps 5 weeks ago before he started to train with me. He's going to be one strong mofo lol.

**scott_donald** · 04-22-2013, 02:22 PM

dam dude... stomping the squats...

**Woody-5** · 04-22-2013, 03:31 PM

Ok...I give this journal one more try.
I will try to update more than once a year lol.

Current best lifts..

SQ 185kg
BP 120kg
DL 210kg
P 80kg

Had some real bad probs lately with my body weight, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. Been in and out of hospital for tests etc.
I'm in the process of trying to lose some body fat.

Monday's highlight was a sq pr of 140kg x10.
Currently doing Wendler's 531.

**markyg** · 09-10-2013, 12:55 PM

Looking good mate. Think we`re still around the same weight wise.

Pop in from time to time

**scott_donald** · 09-10-2013, 01:00 PM
