nice mate! I just got some more supps in finally. will hit the creatine starting this week, then add in some bcaa for intra-workouts.
unfortuntely doesn't look like auckland is gonna happen in May... gotta be in SYD and MEL for most the time i'm next door in Aus... client just scheduled an event on that Monday I was planning to head over to NZ. fuk. oh well. still a long shot, but more likely end up chilling w/ a lady friend on the weekend in Queensland as a consolation prize for not getting to NZ
still may try and hit the Club fields if the winter goes off in NZ. I really want to hit up Temple Basin and Craigeburn/Broken River. Skied TC, Remarks, and Olympus about 6 years ago. super fun time.
can't wait to see what kind of damage you can increase your volume too. it's about the only thing I can even fathom trying to keep up with. your 1RM-3RM would easily blow me outta the water!

Yeh I think ill use my supps to ful potential so if no results I can only blame myself!
Well that bench will get to 10, then ill get to 10 keeping my ass on the bench. Then I will progress like that to 127.5kg for 8 with ass on bench - I try not train like that but currently am relying on it. Will eventually keep it down!
Too bad about NZ. But then again the ladyfriend makes things all ok haha. Sadly I'm going to miss my boarding in NZ's winter but hopefully If I make it through Canadas summer I'll hit up some epic mountains there!my workout journal - powerlifter

ah nice, so you def moving to Canada? Edmonton (I think that's where you said?) - is about 2.5 hours from a cool little mountain outside Jasper - Marmot Basin.
NZ isn't out just yet- but definitely much more difficult to pull off a quick trip to Auckland. oh well.
you ever train delts? for some reason I don't think I've seen you hit much on the triceps/delts/traps - other than weighted dips. probably cause you don't need to and are straight killin it on bench.
appreciate the motivation and support mate

Yep Edmonton! Although I'll be on good money so I can travel in between projects.
I have reasons for all of them. Triceps - These get hit pretty sufficiently on my benching/Dipping. Traps, these are probably an area I don't directly train, they get worked a bit in the deadlifts but I dont focus it. Reasons being I don't desire huge traps. I don't find they would help my benching as much as I could focus on the lats :P aswell as I have terrible grip str - worse since the wrist injury. And shoulders I already have reasonable shoulders for someone who doesnt train them directly. They get worked enough in the areas I need (front delts) through dips and incline, as well as a bit through flat and decline. I cant do military press due to instability I have in my left shoulder, This hinders me from doing dumbell work (dumbbell bench work) as well as dumbbell pull overs. I just struggle with exercises above my chest. Incline barbell is the best I can do and even then I dont do complete reps - These are only half reps generally which make it harder to record results as I can vary depth from workout to workout but you gotta work with what you got!
Main focus is getting a huge bench. Maybe in time I'll start working my lacking points (calves, traps, etc) which don't help in benching.my workout journal - powerlifter

niiiiice. just started back on creatine too. had a pretty intense volume session the other day, feeling some awesome DOMs today.
back to benching again on Wednesday. If I can get a spot, going for 275x7. gonna make sure I keep pace within a rep or two. Also just got some BCAA for intraworkout which will make a difference.
edit: I can definitely keep pace with the incline efforts

Yeh I forget about my BCAAs. Saw ur volume too. You do easy 5x what I do in a workout. 275 x 7 **** thats close. I get about 7 full reps alone then i start cheating with lifting my bum. I aint gonna hold back to keep you in range through bro! I use to be miles ahead! Too close on my tail. Haha yeh my ncline isn't that great. Just burn out quick on that too. Don't wanna try heavy too, don't trust my shoulders

I usually like to stick with the 8-10 rep range until i stop gaining reps frequently. Then I drop down to the 4-6 rep range and do that, then I find since my body is adapated to high reps it quickly gets the 10kg increase from 4-5ish up to 7-8 quickly. If that makes sense.
Chur bro, that leanness shall go though and hard the dips are skyrocketing. Ill go for 50kg nxt time but dont think ill maintain 13-14 rep range haha. 60kg for 10 will be epic. A little goal. 3x 20kg plates looks boss let alone pumping out 10 repsmy workout journal - powerlifter

You might be right about 135kg. Going by %s of 1 reps. 125kg for 9 is =/= to 135kg for 5. But I imagine (going from previous jumps of 8-10 --> 4-6) I will find myself "unconditioned" and will need that first "swap over day" to help adjust which is why I thought a safe 132.5kg will be heavy but get me 5 maybe 6 reps. I'll have a think and see how I feel on the day but this jump I'm doing I also plan on cutting out the asslifting reps so will be harder that way too. If I don't do 135kg it will defo be 135kg the following bench day! Such precision for my benching!
