Training Log - Session #5

Deadlift

190kg - 18 reps, within 30 minutes

Good Morning5x12

Db Curl - 5x20


Tough session today. Ended up with the same amount of deadlift reps as last time. Gonna have to fight for every rep on these, as deadlift gains do not come easily for me.

BTN Presses were done with a 3 sec pause with the weight overhead on each rep. Triceps felt pretty fatigued from yesterday’s workout, although this session ended up being decent. Just putting in the work, really. Still suck at push presses.
Bodyweight has been fluctuating around 82-85kg, with noticeable reductions in bodyfat each week, while strength is increasing in most all of my lifts. Gonna try like hell to keep this progress rolling.

Oh and another plug for the BioRhythm Diet, this was my dinner last night;

Training Log - Session #1



Back Squat
140kg – 5x5

Strict Press
80kg – x5,4
85kg – x3,2,2
93.5kg – x1,1,X,X

Glute-Ham Raise
Bodyweight - 3x12

Bodyweight - 84.25kg

Back Squats have been reset to 5x5 due to stagnation on the previous protocol. Also, decided to be very strict on my Press technique from now on. Each rep started from a dead-stop in the rack position and 3 second hold overhead, at the top of every rep. This was markedly more difficult and drained me quickly, as you can tell by the reduced reps and the misses. Building my strength/reps back up using this sort of technique will no-doubt be beneficial.
