GOD DAMN IT!! every time I try to edit a post via my phone it just deletes the bloody thing!
Here we go again
Tuesday 16th March
Squat - 150kg 3x3,
Press 77.5kg 5x1, (PR at weight and reps),
Dead - 207.5kg 1x4, (matched March 2019, was only aiming for a triple but got an extra rep out).
Thursday 18th March
Press - 70kg 3x5, (PR weight at those reps, belted for last warmup and working sets).
Bench - 106.25kg 3x2, (was aiming for triples, or at least 5x2 but failed, adding weight next week and seeing what happens, may be resetting at last first triple weight and aiming for fives).
Saturday 20th March
Squat - 190kg 4x3, (PR at weight and reps, balance crap on first rep set one, ended up on midfoot and ass to grass, don't know hoe I saved it, knew it was a near miss due to form and another two reps at correct form were doable),
Bench - 87.5kg 10/9+1/9+1, (by reps eight I knew that rep nine would be all out, so cheated and waited 30 seconds to hit reps 10. Will see how next week goes, may increase this volume weight and get back to hitting 3x5 and pushing heavy singles on other bench day).
And my rack is now here.

SS inspired, boltable to help with moving, I've turned the two upright legs which sit closest to my garage wall 180 degrees, this makes the barbell holding bolts actually work. It also reduces the inner depth by a few inches but I've just PR squats in it and didn't bang the frame. I've laid a thick piece of plyboard inside for a platform, no flex due to the inner box section running in the middle on the floor.
Also - I keep PR'ing squats in the middle of the day, but always on days that I'm working a night shift afterwards with no sleep before the shift starts so I'm not getting the perfect rest afterwards. Obviously rest and recovery is crucial for adapting from a stress, but I'm awake and working hard walking sometimes a few miles and carrying bags of gear and not getting to bed for up to 20 hours after setting squat PR's.
Go figure !
