Bw after training / before eating: 73.1 kg
no change
Squat: 107.5 kg 3 sets of 5
got to squat in the safeties
OHP: 52.5 kg 4, 4, 3
this feels like technique misses - pre-miss reps all moved smoothly
Chin ups: 88.1 kg (73.1 + 15) 5, 4, 4
dead hang to chest touching bar. no energy left and no time to rest as had to get home

Bw after training / before eating: 72.9 kg
well it's moving just in the wrong direction
Squat: 110 kg 3 sets of 5
no safeties again. vidoed, first set was depth throughout, next two had 2 high reps each, albeit with neither rhyme nor reason
Bench: c.66 kg 3 sets of 5
bar path was actually consistent and holy shit this felt as light as it should be! i'll micro load this to make sure my technique stays good. worst comes to worst, i'll just keep my bench on linear progression while everything else goes intermediate
Deadlift: 145 kg set of 5
this is a 4 rep and 5 rep PB. last two reps were a grind to get past the knee, but i wrote that about 125 three weeks ago! this is also within a rounding error of a double bodyweight deadlift - which means i should either eat more or start alternating rack pulls and haltings. i think eating more makes more sense

better
Squat: 112.5 kg 3 sets of 3
put belt on. depth was perfect throughout, had to stop each set cos i'd literally run out of breath
OHP: 50 kg 3 sets of 5
reset and belted up. this feels much more stable, but kept on pushing the bar too far back for some reason
Chin ups: 90.6 kg (73.1 + 17.5) 4, 3; bw for 5
dead hang to chest touching bar. no energy left and no time to rest as had to get home. i'll repeat next time, if i get one set of 5 i'll progress it as top set + back offs. realistically not much LP left when I'm chinning bw + 25% for reps, would like to get 20 kg for 5 before i go TM here

Bw after training / before eating: 73.8 kg
that's more like it
Squat: 112.5 kg 3 sets of 5
belt makes the stretch reflex almost painful
Bench: 67.5 kg 3 sets of 5
belted. arch was much easier to hold and weight felt light
Deadlift: will do tomorrow
entire deadlift area was taken up by group of what i assumed were weight watchers, but what were, based on the t shirts they were wearing, a team of 120 kg powerlifters working up to max singles at 100 kg.

Starting with monday, I'm switching to advanced novice. So:
Monday
3 sets of 5 squat
3 sets of 5 OHP / bench
Chin ups
Weds
3 sets of 5 OHP / bench
1 set of 5 deadlift
Curls if i have time
Friday
3 sets of 5 squat
3 sets of 5 OHP / bench
Chin ups
No light squats as:
A. im not a 'motor moron' who needs to practise constantly
B. even light squats piss me the fuck off. i'd literally need to be doing 60 kg working sets to not wanna curse mid set
-
Bw after training / before eating: 74.2 kg
that's more like it
Deadlift: 147.5 kg set of 4
belted. lost balance backwards on 3rd rep, ground out 4th rep, didn't attempt 5th. kicking myself as might have had it - rep 4 was not really slower than rep 4 last time
-
Bw after training / before eating: 73.7 kg
last saturday was an aberration
Squat: 115 kg 3 sets of 5
belted. glad i don't have to do this again until friday
OHP: 52.5 kg 3 sets of 5
this felt absurdly easy - easier than 50 kg without a belt. might yet get 60 kg for reps and sets even at my comical bodyweight
Chin ups: 83.7 kg (73.7 + 10) 3 sets of 5
dead hang to chest touching bar. reset to last completed weight. might yet get + 20 kg on LP here
-
Bw after training / before eating: 74.3 kg
better
Bench: 70 kg 3 sets of 5
belt makes the arch so much better
Deadlift: 150 kg set of 3; 130 kg set of 3 opposite grip
2 and 3 rep PB. Bar was oddly hard to hold, perhaps because i took it off the bench rack. belt really feels awkward
Curls: 30? kg 3 sets of 6
10 kg on each side of the curl bar. easy

Bw after training / before eating: 73.7 kg
goddamit!
Squat: 120 kg * 3; 110 kg * 3, 3
had a brainfart and did 120. got stapled and realised i haven't been going deep enough. triples with 110 were perfect depth so i'll re-LP. sigh
OHP: c.53.5 kg * 4, 4, 3
i find myself using no layback whatsoever belted even when i'm grinding. reps 5 on sets 1 and 2 failed, yet i stayed bolt upright throughout
Chin ups: 86.2 kg (73.7 + 12.5) * 5, 5, 5
dead hang to chest touching bar. hard but did them. wanna atlas break 90 kg total weight for 3 sets of 5 before i leave LP

Bw after training / before eating: 73.8 kg
goddamit!
Squat: 110 kg * 5, 5, 5
nice
Bench: 72.5 kg * 3, 3, 3
lost arch on each set. stopped for safety reasons
Chin ups: 88.8 kg (73.8 + 15) * 5, 5, 5
dead hang to chest touching bar. hard but did them. last rep of last set was all sorts of bad (rubber necking, chin just barely over bar, maybe not dead hang)
