I remember doing this a while ago. It was to verify whether he actually deadlifted 300kg at comp or not. That's when I realised he never actually locked out. The disappointment was immeasurable.

I've tried to meet up with him a few times, he keeps dipping. That's pretty telling.

12/11/19 Some very, very interesting squat developments. Squatted 220, which is equal to the most i've ever hit in a training block, ever. (not including a mock meet).

what is your routine diet??? (other than kfc)

[JamesA1990]

16/11/19 First session thats felt like aids. Everything felt heavy. Think it was a combination of pushing things pretty hard this week and overreaching a bit, coupled with being a giant ******* today (saturday) by sleeping in, eating cold left overs, playing video games for like 4-5 hours straight and then still having the expectation id perform well. Oh and its 38 Celsius today and have blisters on the bottoms of my feet from getting burnt on the hot road lmao. Could have just left the gym but did the work i could, live to fight another day. Thats the benefit of RPE training i guess

I dont track the calories or macro's but i know that its decent and probably getting enough protein


Breakfast: Weetbix
Lunch: Rice + Curry / stirfry (chicken of beef) or Pasta. Or if i dont cook the night before ill do Subway / Burrito
Snacks: Chocolate, biscuits, protein bar. Salty chips preworkout
Dinner: Same as lunch + protein shake (or kfc)
Bed time: Weetbix


Basically trying to get carbs + protein every meal

21/11/19 Poo poo session. Deadlifted 260 which is great and all but really forced it when i shouldn't have, kinda strained my back and wasn't able to do any rep work after, and left the gym skipping bench also. Was too focused on increasing the weight every week rather that sticking to the rpe. Will be back to repeat it all tomorrow minus the top single


Deadlift
260 kg x 1 @ 9






edit: uh oh back feels fine but hamstring kinda sore (next day). Think ill give deadlift a rest

23/11/19 I asked Joey if i should repeat all the missed deadlift rep volume i missed but he said it doesnt matter, in his words 'its conventional, your strength isnt going anywhere'. Also hamstring recovered extremely fast and managed to get some good squats in. Felt light on the back which is a nice change

26/11/19 Body feeling like ass, stiff as **** in the mornings. Heavy single felt like poo poo so didnt go any higher, but the rep work was still solid. Someone was using the leg press when i had finished squats so i saw that as permission to skip it. Accessories are starting to drop off this week anyway too

Doing a novice meet this weekend purely for fun, 1 week out from my real comp

Entering with a fake name to avoid getting banned by my federation. 'James Mystery' checking in. They ban you for 1 year if you compete or even spot and load at an event that isnt part of their federation. Doesnt matter either way though because ill be changing feds, just got to make sure i survive 1 more week to reach my proper comp next week

Will likely hit something super clean and aesthetic like 180 / 140 / 220

Shh dont tell my coach and shh dont tell my federation
