From yesterday

Light Squats 2x5 124kg with belt

Bench Press 3x5 89,5kg

Deadlift 175 3x


It was a good day.

Because of holiday and my girlfriend and me where in the big city going to a barber to make a new beard and a nice haircut.

So we where the whole day on feet about 10 hours. Came home in the evening, chill a bit and then go to training in the cellar. That was at about 8pm.

I've never trained at home at this time. But it was okay. Squats felt great because of light and I decided to wear a belt on light days because that's make the light Squat to light Squat and not to a heavy one.

Bench went far I've tried to breath every second rep but today I realized and read it again in the great SS book and here in the forum that I can take a big breath at the beginning of the set and try to hold it.
Next time I try this out.


Deadlift where hard and I got a bit tired and angry of the heavy weight. Next time it will be better.


Today I feel sore in my back and my shoulders. Have a look if tomorrow is possible to do Squats and Press

Eating is at about 3500 kcal a day and weight went from 91kg to 93,5kg today.
I think it is between 92 and 93kg about.

Today is a new day [emoji41] maybe [emoji1]

Squats 158kg 3 3 3

Press 3x5 61kg

Cleans ...

Chins 3x5 +17,5kg

Arghhhh, Squats only 3 because they where hard the reason is maybe the long weekend and the work in the garden yesterday who knows...

Press with 61kg went fast but also hard

Cleans learning today with 30kg

Chins began to became difficult have a look at next sunday maybe 20kg and then only 1,0kg more instead of 2,5kg jumps

See ya...[emoji6]
