20/6

Squat - 197.5x4 @6, 207.5x4 @7, 217.5x4 @8.5, 207.5x4x4@7.5-8.5

Not too bad. Rib still present a bit but getting much better. Should regain some traction after this session.



Might fit in some pressing later tonight.

21/6


Pin Press (mid range) 200x1 @8.5, 187.5x4 @9, 175x4x2@8-9, 170x4@8.5

Just trying not to detrain while I heal. Bit of pain here but not much. Summer heat at 110kg is definitely worse than it was when I was lighter.

23/6

Deadlift w/belt - 202.5x4 @6, 212.5x4 @7, 222.5x4x4 @8-8.5.
Had to skip the final set because the area under my bottom rib on my back was getting aggravated again. But I only pulled 222.5 for 1 rep in my last deadlift session due to rib pain so thankfully this was a big step back to normal.

Pin press (midrange) - 175x4@7, 180x4@8.5, 180x4@9, 175x4x2@8-8.5
Not bad for having done this variation heavy a few days ago.

Lost a lot momentum going into this meet. But not worth pulling out now with 4 weeks to go if I can resume normal training next week - I still think 267.5/187.5/277.5 is realistic at 110kg for the -120kg squat, bench and total records.

25/6

Bench (touch and go) - 152.5x5 @7, 162.5x5 @8.5, 155x5x3@8.5-9. Fatigued from the two slots of heavy pin presses this earlier in the week.

Ab/rib seems to be about 95% now. Finally no pain when moving around normally. Fingers crossed for squats tomorrow.

My fingers are crossed for you tomorrow as well!

Did you watch any of the IPF Classic Worlds?

[wk105]

Yeah man, I watched a bit. Some amazing lifting!

28/6

Squat w/belt 207.5x3 @6, 217.5x3 @7, 227.5x3x2 @8-8.5, 217.5x3x2@8.5-9

Should be back over e1rm 275kg in 2 weeks.

Couldn't squat on Monday because my car broke down and I had to spend my training slot getting it fixed, then I had to stay up until about 2am to hit a work deadline so was too tired to train safely on Tuesday.

Nice, Will. Good to see you squatting heavy again.

[wk105]

Thanks mate. Hopefully I can get the ball rolling again.

28/6

Midnight benching - tired - just punching the clock

Competition Raw Bench - 182.5x1 @10, 162.5x1x12 @7.5-9

30/6

TRAC said high fatigue. Had the afternoon off work so could've taken a nap, but...

Deadlift w/belt - 222.5x3 @6.5, 227.5x3@7, 232.5x3x2@7.5, 8.5, 222.5x3x2@7.5-8. Pretty grim but e1rm +7.5kg from last week, so climbing out of the slump.
Pin Press (mid range) - 190x1 @8, 180x3 @10, 165x3@7, 170x3@7.5. Slight dip. Seems to happen with these - good for the first week or so, then the fatigue from the heavy loads sets into my joints.
2ct Pause Squat - 182.5x6 @7, 192.5x6 @8, 202.5x6 @8.5, 192.5x6@8

Brought my grip in a finger's width on squat to middle fingers on the rings. Felt good.

2/7
Pin Press (mid range) 160x5 @7, 167.5x5 @7.5, 177.5x4 @10, 162.5x5@9

4/7
Pin Squat - 202.5x4 @6.5, 212.5x4 @7.5 (e1rm 260kg), 212.5x3@9.5 (top set not bad but too tired to keep it up today), 182.5x4x3@7-7.5
Bench (touch and go) 155x5 @7.5 (e1rm 194kg), 162.5x5 @9 (e1rm 194kg), 150x5x2@8, 8

Nothing is feeling good at the moment, but everything is around 90-95% of my e1rm PR levels, and I'm not injured. Just need to focus on consistency and patience.
