Monday 18/06/12

Squat: 135kg x5x3
Bench Press: 97.5kg x5x3
Pullups: BW x10x3

Squats were harder today, technique felt off and I just didn't have and pop out of the bottom. I'm putting this down to not eating enough this weekend. On the other hand benching went great, all reps felt powerful.

That's a pretty serious bench you are developing there. Good work!

Cheers man, I hope so!

Monday 25/06/12

Squats: 142.5kg x5x3
Press: 60kg x 5x3
Deadlift: 170kg x5

Squats are getting ever so slightly harder now. They feel heavy on my back and also feel slower with less 'pop' but when I look at the videos they look pretty smooth and look alot faster than they feel. I'll try to get a video up soon but my camera phone is pretty poor quality.
All upper body lifts are flying up still, can't really complain here.
Deadlift is still easy-ish aswell.

Damn this is some nice linear progression

Squat: 145kg x5x3
Bench Press: 102.5kg x5x3

Squats were okay today got some good bounce out of the hole. Bench was quite good apart from the last set where I began petering out on the last few reps, I still made them but they were grindy.

As it is getting harder I have upgraded my eating to the following:

Breakfast: Home-made weight gain shake around 1000kcal (500ml milk , peanut butter,banana,honey, 5tbsp olive oil, whey protein)
Lunch: 1lb of Chicken Leg/Thighs plus veg.
Dinner: 1lb of Steak plus 1lb potatoes plus veg.
Snacks (through day inbetween meals): 6 hard boiled eggs, fruit, 3 litres whole milk.
