Time to have another go at SS now that I have a gym at home after a failed attempt close to 12 months ago that was cut short due to work and life dramas.

Anyway heres me at the start;

Lee Copland

Male
Melbourne, Australia
184cm
73.1kg
no idea of bf or anything else

First session started easy because i'm in no rush, weights as follows (always kg)

squat
20 x5x2
30 x5
40 x3
45 x5x3

bench
20 x5x2
30 x5

Bit of a shambles today, the courier company thats meant to be delivering my 20kg plates has taken twice as long as it should have so i didnt dtfp today;

squat
20 x5x2
35 x5
42.5 x3
57.5 x1
70 x5x3 (went from 18.75 a side to 25bumper, jump of 15kg over last session)

We'll see how stupid that decision was on wednesday

press
20x5
30x3
35x5x3

went up pretty easy

power clean
bar x20 odd

re-read pc chapter of bbt3 after last weeks effort and picked up on things i'd missed and forgotten from last reading, and now I think I have the technique pretty much down.
I didn't want to add weight yet which ill do next session so i did some rows for volume

bb row
30x8x3

It's been a long week

40x5
60x3
70x1
80x5x3

Press
20x5
30x5
40x5x3 (realised after it shouldve been 37.5)

Power clean
20x5
40x15 or so singles (will do 3x5 at this weight next session)


Didn't realise how painful 40kg slapping my quads would be haha

Had the flu from Friday night till today (Thursday), tried to do a session Monday but I was really puffed out just doing a few reps of the bar so I gave it a miss thinking I can't lose THAT much strength.

Today

Squat
20x5x2 so tight
40x5
55x3
65x1 (thinking I'd do 80x5x3, didn't happen)
70x5x3 (felt hard but mrs filmed and they seemed to fly up)

Bench
20x5x2
30x5
35x3
45x5x3 thankfully the weight didn't feel hard because the bar/plates kept banging on the spot arms throwing me off balance, my rack is being refunded this weekend so hopefully I don't have the same problem with the s1 coming.

Deadlift
60x3
80x5 I was pissed off from bench and they flew up, tried hook gripping deals for the first time and I can't get it right

[Lee Copland]

Didn't train Saturday because my dog passed away and it was the last thing on my mind

Today;

Squat
20x5x2
40x5
55x3
65x1
75x5x3

Bench
20x5x2
35x5
40x3
45x5x3

Deadlift
60x5
75x3
90x5


I'm thinking something form wise is off with my squats because deads are quite a bit easier, will re-read and hope it works

[Lee Copland]

Squat
20x5x2
45x5
55x3
70x1

Looked a bit high, hoping its the camera angle, will re-film from a better angle next time

Press
20x5x2
30x5
35x3
42.5 - 5,4,3

Very weak off the chest, will re-read press chapter bbt3
