    Squat 182,5kg x3 164kg 2x5
    Haltings 185kg 2x5

    Squat - 182,5kg x3 - YouTube
    Squat - 164kg (2nd back-off) - YouTube
    Haltings - 185kg (2nd set) - YouTube


    SQUAT: recovery wasn't great, I did my best to get to depth, but after the grind on the 3rd rep I had no energy for another one. If I would've been more technically precise I might have gone for 5, but I'll take it. I added an extra back-off to add stress since I went down to a triple instead of 5.

    HALTINGS: rested a while before these because I was cooked from the squats. I managed to get 2 sets of 5, looking pretty good.

    20/11

    BW 96,5kg

    Bench 112,5kg x4 105kgx5
    Press 72kg 5x5
    Clean 90kg 8x1 93kgx1 94kgx1

    BENCH: tried to change to a heavy set of 5 and a back-off, I thought I had 112,5kg easy but apparently it was a fight, I grinded for a few seconds on the 5th one but couldn't get it, first 3 reps felt really fast. I'll go to 115kg next time and get 2 triples.

    PRESS: felt more in balance, rest was 6/7'.

    CLEAN: decided to do some singles. 90kg felt pretty easy so I decided to do a PR attempt for the last 2. Rest was 2/3'.

    DEADLIFT: much harder than I thought, bar was swinging to the left a bit, but I got it!

    SQUAT: rest was 7/8', focusing on keeping the knees frozen on the way up and shooting my tailbone straight up.

    Press 91kg x1 95kg 3 attempts 90kg x1
    Pin Press 90kg 2x1
    Bench 105kg 5x3

    PRESS: I've had a cold for the past 3 days, and probably an ear infection, so not feeling very well.
    Yesterday I skipped because I slept very little and needed rest. Today I felt better. I went for a 95kg PR but coudn't get it on multiple attempts. Backed off to 90kg, got one single and then failed. Tried doing some pin presses to avoid dropping the weight, got 2 grindy singles at 90kg, did a couple at 80kg and then stopped.

    BENCH: warm-up moved ok but felt like shit, considering what happened on the press I decided to keep the weight but do triples instead of fives. Rest was 4/5'.

    BW 96,5kg

    Squat 184kg 2x3 165kg x5
    Haltings 187,5kg 2x5
    Chins 3x10,8,7 (5' rest)

    Squat - 184kg 2x3 - YouTube
    Squat - 184kg (2nd set) - YouTube

    SQUAT: went for 5 reps on the 1st set, failed on the 4th rep, mainly because of my wrists flexing and bar rolling up, otherwise I would've had it. Also, it's the first time ever I actually go until failure. I decides to get 2 heavy triples and 1 back-off instead of only 1 triple and 2 back-offs. Rested 10+ minutes.

    HALTING: heavy enough

    Bench 115kg 2x2,1 110kgx3,2
    Press 73kg 5x5,4,4,3,3,3,3


    BENCH: fail, left elbow pain, most likely because of the squat. Will do the chin-up protocol.

    PRESS: couldn't get 5, I stuck with triples. I was in a hurry and did the chin-up protocol in between sets. Got a whole bunch of triples.

    Press 91kg x1 95kgx1 96kgx0 91kgx5
    Bench 105kg 5x5
    Clean 90-100-105kg

    Press - 95kg - YouTube
    Clean - 105kg - YouTube

    PRESS: got a new PR. Felt easy enough to try 96kg, but I failed all attempts. Went back to 91kg and finished my singles.

    BENCH: heavyish, arms felt a little weak. Started to feel some discomfort in the elbow, put on an elbow cuff and it went away. Rest was 4/7'.

    CLEAN: wanted to get a PR at 100kg. It was fast enough so I got 105kg. I tried 107,5kg but the bar kept slipping in my elbows. Still happy

    SQUAT: went ok with the thumbs around grip, knees are still not moving right.

    starting strength coach development program
    BW scale said 98kg this morning

    Bench 115kg x3,2,2
    Pause bench 100kg 2x3
    Press 73kg x5,5,4

    Shitty session, no pain in the bench, I did the 1st set spotted and it went ok, wanted to get another one on my own, failed. Tried again with a spotter, failed again. Did pause bench to practice my position, might need include it later in the programming.

    PRESS: thought of using the hips to practice for the heavy singles, for some reason 73kg was heavy. Tried to not do a double layback and stay as upright as possible. Grinded on the 3rd set. Got upset, I was rushed due to work, so I just went and took a shower. I definitely need a break.
    Sleep has also been very shitty the past few days.
    I'm sure after Christmas break I'll feel better.
