    Squat: 146.8kg x 3. Was pretty straightforward.

    Bench: 106.8kg 5,4. Am pretty ill so didnt want to overdo this session. Felt tired after the 2nd set so just left it. Will probs repeat. Am amazed at how well my bench has been progressing last month.

    In just over a month Ive added 14kg to my bench and over 14kg to my squat. Really enjoying this progression, I know it will abruptly come to an end at some point and ill need to address either diet+recovery or programming but ill take it while it lasts.

    So had a long weekend in Paris and got back last night. Unfortunately diet was pretty poor. Mostly fat (patisserie) with less than desirable amounts of protein as an understatement. I am busy tonight and thursday and friday due to work commitments so I went at lunch today. On the advice of a (stronger) colleague instead of having a light day, as I wont be squatting for a full week he suggested I do a session with heavy singles/doubles so my body keep the feeling of the weight.

    So...
    Squat: worked triples up to 140kg and did sets of 3,2,1 (deliberately). That is 95% of the weight on friday so I think that counts as heavy for me. Then did a set of 8 at 120kg.

    Thats all I had time for. Heres to hoping saturday isnt a wash-out. May try to go for 150 x 3.

    Squats: planned to do 150kg x 3. Worked up to it and hit the set of three. Happy with this. Last set was such a grind but refused to let it go. Then had a great idea to do some singles. Did 152kg and 155kg for singles. The 155 was easier than the 152. Was tempted to try 157 but resisted. Very happy with these, new PR

    Bench:did my max 107kg for 3x3. Didnt feel stable. May need to drop it a bit due to the break.

    Power Cleans and Jerk:80kg 1,1,1,1,1. 80 is a PR

    Congrats on the DL PR. I hope you got that on video.

    I'm referring to the one you just hit.

    Thanks Rogers. Unfortunately not as I havent figured out where I could place my phone in this gym.

    Tuesday 18 December 2012

    Squat: light/volume day (I still cant decide). Did 120kg 8,8. Smooth.

    Press: a set of 5 at 72kg. Then failed the 2nd on the first rep. Dropped to 70 and did 3,3,3. Man the press is beating me up.

    Deadlift: Today was the day I went for 400lbs.
    warm up sets were 60, 100, 130, 150. Then I put on 182.5kg. Nailed it, wasnt surprisingly not that hard but the bar i was using had no knurling to speak of and I forgot my chalk so i was slipping all the way and released it immediately at lock out. Felt amazing to hit such a long-term goal. It was also a 12.5kg PR.

    I have now hit my 200/300/400 goals for 2012 set in March. Current maxes are 235(3x5)/341/400. May test out my 1RM bench end of next week and push squat and deadlift to see if I can hit my other goal of 1000lbs gym total. Seems a bit far fetched though.

    Still its been a great year and Im very happy with my progress. Looking forward to 2013.

    Congrats on hitting your goals. Shows it can be done. Going to up the weight or change it up?

    Up my target weights? Yes - in 2013 Goals aiming for 1200 by year end. Lofty but I can see it if I was to give it everything this year.

    If you mean my weight then just plan on gaining around a 1lb per week. No set BW goal.

    Squat: worked up to 152.5kg x3. Very hard. Closest ive ever come to failing a rep but managing to fight thro. Decided to do 2 more singles to prepare for 3x3 on Saturday.

    Bench: 107kg 5,3,4. Hmmm. Needs work. Deload likely course of action.

    Power Cleans: 70kg 3,3,3,3. Threw in some front squats and jerks as well.
