I know what u mean, you couldnt go as wide right? but why the sudden need to do your stuff in the squat rack? damn trainers..

 

[Skeptic]

Its a new 'safety' thing they're bringing in. Fucks me why they can't use their fucking brains ey.

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Sucks dude, just try talking for them and ram some sense into their brains!

 

[Skeptic]

I'm not deadlifting inside the squat rack, next time they tell me to stop, I'll ask if they have a problem with me deadlifting outside.

 

[El Freako]

Was it a busy time?

 

[Skeptic]

It was getting into the busy time, but it wasn't peak time yet.

 

[El Freako]

So they're just gay then.

 

[Skeptic]

They are VERY fucking gay.

5/3/1 Cycle 2 Week 3 Day 1

MP
5@50kg
3@60kg
2@70kg

Matched last cycle. 60kg went up pretty easily, I was hoping for a few more reps wih 70kg, but oh well.

Pullups
6@BW (As sad as it sounds, this is a PB)
5@BW
5@BW
4@BW

Incline DB press
5@32.5kg
5@35kg
6@37.5kg

Depending on how I feel next week, I might give the 40kg's a go.

DB rows
15@40kg
10@40kg
8@40kg

Did some Shrugs then some CG bench after this, both pretty uninteresting.



I think I'm going to give the heavy legs a miss for the rest of this cycle, my quad still hurts after last weeks terrible deadlift effort, so I'm just going to do some light squatting and the assistance work, see how that goes, then pick everything back up again next cycle. Upper body will still be going heavy though.

 

[Pickle]

nice overheads. definately want to see the 40s on ur db presses xoxoxox

 

[Skeptic]

Thats it! I'm goin for 5@40kg next week!

 

[PrinceVegeta]

Nice session skippy! 40kgx5, ull get it easy!!

 

[Xiva]

Impressive MP's (Applaus)

Current stats champ?

 

[Skeptic]

Age: 22
Weight: 93kg
Height: 173cm (?)

My projections are fucked at the moment because of my leg, but:
Squat - 178kg
Bench - 108kg
Deadlift - 195kg
MP - 76kg

Deadlift should be up past 200kg

^^ God you're short too!!!

Pickle and I are the only Aussies here above midget size.

That squat is a beacon of win. What's holding back the bench and dead?

 

[Skeptic]

Nothings holding back my bench, it is stronger than it has ever been. For ages I prioritised lower body, and my upper body suffered, this is probably the first proper program I've done for upper body, and I'm just growing like a weed.

My projected dead was up around 205kg at the end of last cycle, but my left leg has been giving me grief, so I'm just gonna take it easy in this cycle, and blast it out in the next.

 

[tim290280]

^^ AHH. Now I remember, you did all of those squat programs yet never a bench program.

In which case I'd expect you to have that bench fly up soon.

By leg problem do you mean adductor at all? Because I have been getting tightness there from pulls and squats dominated programs. I've added in the stepups to counter this (lunges just exacerbated it).

 

[Skeptic]

Yeah actually, it does feel like its in my adductor, around where it attaches to the knee. I felt it when I was doing smolov mostly, otherwise it was fine until now.

Step ups help with it?

I think I really need to look at how I warm up for squats and deads, I don't think the couple minutes on the bike is enough lol
