PV: drunk with no warmup. Don't count your chickens too soon!
Pickle: seemed like a good idea at the time.
Freako: you mean benching a chick? Yep. They don't seem to like it though, something about it being degrading
Deadlift day went better than I thought it would. Bit uninspired but I still knocked out a good few sets. Technically 5kg better than last cycle, based on the rep max calc (215kg).

(I should include the deadlift walk of 100kg for 15m, as it killed my grip)
Deadlift
110kg x5
122.5kg x5
142.5kg x5
160kg x10 - this was good, could have had more if I wasn't seeing stars.

If only these guys had nothing connecting them to Nickelback.
^^ dead reps. I touch and go on some reps but I try not to as bouncing starts to come in too easily.
I do my dead reps by resetting the grip every rep or two. When I have my belt on I tend to stand up between every second or third rep, so that I can get a proper breathe in.
^^ i do my deads the same way!! and i do 40kg only because there are no heavier dumbells in my gym! buti reckon i can only do 40kg with my left and like 44 with my right, damn imbalances!
Good session man, next time kick the bar the 15 meters!
PV: Can't kick it, it has to cross a lawn and go up an incline. Ideally I'd lower it to my shoulders and walk it across, but the power rack j-hooks were set too low for that.
Pickle: more pickle love
Bench session today went well. First bench session in awhile were I felt as though it didn't suck. Probably all the warmups I did. Did some HIIT cardio (sex), then some slow cardio (mowed the lawn), then hit the weights.
Bench
20kg x5
60kg x5
80kg x5
87.5kg x5
100kg x5
115kg x8 - last rep was a grinder at the lockout and my hips rose a bit.
PV: squats are fun, no matter what anyone says under the bar.
Rob: I used to play that song prior to every game of footy I played.
Pickle: I'm thinking of doing a max day either after the next cycle or two cycles time. I'll do it like a contest (squat, bench, dead, OHP) so squats will be first, three lifts each exercise.
Freako: thanks. Next cycle I'm adding some boxies to get used to have bigger weight on the shoulders and hopefully that will translate to even more progression.
