Training -- Sat 21/06/2014

Squats (LB)

5x20kg
5x40kg
5x60kg
5x80kg
5x100kg
3x110kg
5x5x120kg -- First low bar squat session in a long time. Tried not to take my stance too much wider than what I'm used to for high bar, since the last time I did low bar I tried out sumo stance and progressed about as rapidly as a turtle. Each set today felt like a grinder, but I also could have pushed out another rep if I forced myself. There's a bit of buttwink going on in the videos, but otherwise form looks pretty good. Just needs re-acclimating to the movement.

Deadlift

5x100kg
3x135kg -- When it became obvious that 5x5 wasn't happening at this weight, I decided to just start ramping up in lower reps and see how I go.
2x145kg -- And then I thought, "Hey, I know, I could put that belt thing back on. That might help the next set."
2x150kg
2x155kg
4x160kg -- Belts. Use them.

Bench Press/Block Row

10x20kg/5x40kg
5x40kg/5x40kg
3x60kg/5x50kg
1x70kg/5x50kg
1x75kg/3x60kg
10x3x80kg/3x60kg

When I told my mum I'd be home in a couple hours, I didn't mean to lie. But then, as the kids say when justifying they're bad sexual choices, one thing just led to another, and there I was 3.5 hours later finally closing up.
