    Week 3

    Scheduling nightmare as usual because all the kids are off school.

    MON
    Squat w/belt 197.5x6 @6, 207.5x6 @7, 217.5x6 @8, 205x6x2@7.5--8

    Deadlift w/belt 207.5x6 @6, 217.5x6 @7, 227.5x6 @7.5, 212.5x6x2@7.5
    FRI
    Pin Press (5cm off chest) 152.5x4 @7, 160x4 @8, 160x4@9.5, 147.5x4x3@7.5-8.5
    SUN

    MON
    Bench (touch and go) 127.5x10 @7, 135x10 @8, 142.5x10 @9, 135x10@10, 127.5x10@8.5
    TUES

    Wide Grip Bench 132.5x10 @8.5, 120x10x3 @8.5-9
    THU
    SSB 152.5x40 in 16 mins
    Press 82.5 x 50 myoreps
    Rows 122.5 x 22 in 7 mins (beltless, strapless)
    Curls 42.5x35 in 7 mins

    Current e1rm total -770kg, which ties the strongest I've ever been. Looking at ~790kg next week if I hit my target weights. If I can get that up to 800+ by the British on 22nd October than my comp PR of 695 should fall even though the only thing I'm better at than reps with 80-85% is self-sabotage on meet day.

    Busy schedule. Didn't have time to get the SSB work done earlier in the week. Could've done it over the weekend but would rather be fresh for comp squats.

    Bodyweight hanging around 108.5-109.5. Need to be more like 111-112 by the British.

    Might do some bench tomorrow. Feeling pretty tired, though, so will probably just rest up ready for Sunday.

    Planning for this:

    Squat 240/255/265
    Bench 167.5/177.5/187.5
    Deadlift 240/260/275

    That'd be a 727.5/1600 total. I'm strong enough to do it. Just need to execute on the day.

    Didn't go too badly - 262.5/177.5/270 for a 710 PR total (also a Wilks PR) despite going 8/9. I missed 185 for my third bench because I let my shoulders come forward when I unracked it (didn't take a handout) and collapsed my arch.

    Next up is the South Midlands Championship in January. I need 265/185/272.5 for +2.5kg meet bests. So 722.5 is the next target.

    My best performance on Wilks and total yet, but it's frustrating I left a lot in the tank on bench. Next time.

    I'm doing my own programming now. I've learnt a lot from RTS and am confident I can stay on the right tracking going forward. I'll still check in with Mark via Skype a few times a year to get some help interpreting the data logged on the RTS apps.

    Regional championships today. Tough day. Weighed in at 104.5, which took some effort - not much food 48 hours before the meet.

    Squat - 235/252.5x/252.5.
    Grind. Kind of expected. Down 10kg since Oct 22nd. I also squatted 260kg at -105kg on the same platform almost exactly a year ago to the day, and I squatted 272.5 in the gym last May at 110kg. Need to reassess what I'm doing with this lift. Loads of volume @6-7 doesn't seem to work as well for me as moderate volume @7-8.

    Bench - 167.5/177.5@10/181x.
    Gold standard pauses. Went for the regional record but couldn't quite lock it out.

    Deadlift - 242.5x/242.5/272.5 (+2.5kg PB). Best bit of the day and made the whole thing worthwhile.
    Almost passed out on my opener for some reason so let my shoulders slump at lockout and got three reds.

    702.5kg total for a 420.52 Wilks PB despite going 6/9 - encouraging, in a way, as well as disappointing.
