Squat 150x8@7. Small pb. Ill take it.

Also benched 105x8@8. Almost equal to all time best higher rep set.

Considering that this is microcycle 1/4....good.

A small PB is still a PB. [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]

Hoping is a good sign!!!

Hit a rep PB on Tues: squats 5×5 @ 130 and had a bit left in the tank. Equalled a DL rep PB of 5×5 @ 155 last night, even though i was fatigued and full of DOMS my form was way better than last time.
Let's not talk bench, except I now realise how important intra abdominal pressure is for bench as well as everything else...

Important for every single compound lift. [emoji3]

My bench is sadly lacking; I've pressed 100kg once. Last program I finished on 3x3 @ 80, this week was week three and I hit 5x5 @ 75, so I'm improving. The four bench sets I captured are in the middle of this clip (the rep PB squats are at the start):

I've been using the phone to video and trim what sets I can, then VideoPad editor to whip them into a movie, to get to my old trainer so he can remind me where I'm going wrong... :)
 
Rep PB's continue:
R.bb.sq 5×3 @ 140kg
F.bb.sq 3×3 @ 100kg
DL 5×3 @ 160kg (last week)
I also had 330 on top of the sled n the leg press, that felt heavy.
 
Good work [MENTION=17660]Deefa[/MENTION];

Hit a pb last night also myself.
60.5kg x 8 on overhead press.

[MENTION=7738]Timeah[/MENTION] nice. I didn't PB OHP last night, but managed a strong 3×5 @ 50kg. Heading for bw. Slowly.

Currently 89-90.
I think i could make a 62.5-65 press if i did a minimal warmup. Hope to be repping that in 6 weeks.

Nice [MENTION=17660]Deefa[/MENTION]; getting there.
Be prepared for the extreme end of the long haul man.

I do smell a race coming on though. [emoji14]

[MENTION=7738]Timeah[/MENTION] I accept the race; I'll be the tortoise here.
Now I better research some supporting lifts...
 
DL Rep PB on Friday: 5x3 165kg
Week 5 vid:
The DOMS is different as the weight gets closer to max. Also somehow tweaked my right upper pec under the clavicle, lucky its not too bad.
