Some good news today and some bad news. The bad news is that the bars I thought weighed 20 kg actually weigh 17 kg. There's only one 20 kg bar on the incline bench. So all my lifts are actually 3 kg lighter than I thought. Although the last time I was doing squats I was using the real 20 kg bar. I mean who the hell buys 17 kg bars ?! My lifts for today with the new weight:

- squats:
8 x 17 kg
5 x 32 kg
5 x 42 kg
3 x 5 x 52 kg

- bench press:
5 x 17 kg
5 x 27 kg
3 x 5 x 37 kg

- deadlift:
5 x 57 kg

The good news is that I met a guy who is also doing SS so that kinda made my day. He told me the real weight of bars.

P.S. Why won't this forum show my smileys?

the 17 kg bar i think is a 45 pound bar. or maybe its 17.5 kg

[Unnamed]

1 kg = 2.25 lbs

20 kg x 2.25 = 45 lbs

17 kg * 2.25 = 38.25 lbs

A bit of a difference.

1 kg = 2.25 lbs

20 kg x 2.25 = 45 lbs

17 kg * 2.25 = 38.25 lbs

1kg = 2.2lbs (actually 2.20462262)

Just having a skim through your log you might be able to get away with doing less warm-up reps at the heavier weights i.e 5,5,3,2.

Yes, I intend do do less warmup with heavier sets (I just have to remember to do it).
