@ Powerhouse. Walking to the gym I was getting an Adrenalin rush. Home now and dizzy lol

Then 410kg/902lbs PB and lifetime target x rep (no vid... not unless you wanna see the high fives lol cos we messed it up). Horrendously heavy and a massive pressure on the neck even with pads and my left hip instantly feeling it

Monday
Back spasms yesterday afternoon and this morning were a bit of as red flag (who knew squatting 900+ might cause a problem lol - see also neck issue below). Still once I took (found 2 Naproxen 250mg and 2 Gabapentin 300mg) 1 x 250 Nap it felt a LOT better. So off to Powerhouse. Had I had ANY issues I'd have been right back.

I also, over the weekend, set myself a new personal challenge (as they are all personal now) of Hatfield Squatting 500lbs or so x 25 reps a la Tom Platz's feat. So...

Hatfield Squat to bench as usual
bar x 20 reps, 100kg x 20 reps, 160kg/352lbs x 15 reps and 230kg/506lbs x 12 reps. The plan will be to add 1-2 reps per session. Apart from not being used to the rep range the only issue was where the bar and pads sat as the left hand side of my neck must have been compressed since last Mondays's 390 and 410kg and it HURT.

Leg Press
Stayed light., Went deeper than usual and this included a lower foot position
80kg x 20 reps, 160kg x 20 reps and 240kg x 15 reps

Seated Leg Curl
Cos why not
8p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps and 20p (stack) x 15 reps

Leg Extensions
7p x 20 reps, 15p x 20 reps and stack (20p)x 20 reps
 
Tuesday
Iso-lateral Press - facing in
10kg/22lbs x 20 reps a side, 15kg, 20kg and 25kg/55lbs all x 20 reps a side (1 arm at a time)

Side Laterals
just 5kg x 3 x 20 reps a side. Side delts were fried!

3-Inch Wrist Roller
60kg x 1, 80kg x 1 and an attempt at 120kg/264lbs (115kg next time) x almost lol. Heaviest I've been on was around 120 or 125 on a 2-inch set up back in the day
 
Thursday
Different approach today. Change is as good as a rest and all that. Really got into the zone on the tricep work. It was a 10 reps kinda day

Bicep/Tricep Machine work
Bicep work
1p to 5p (25kg/55lbs) so 5 x 10 reps

s/s

Tricep work
1p to 10p (77.5kg/159.5lbs) so 10 x 10 sets (way more sets than normal)
On the last 3 sets I ended up leaning onto the machine to brace myself

Over the knee Reverse Dumbbell Wrist Curls
5kg to 20kg/44lbs so 4 x 10
 
Friday
Early @ Powerhouse cos I was doing podcasts after. Trained with Chris J
Iso Lateral Bench Press
40kg x 8 reps, 60kg x 8 reps and 80kg/176lbs x 8 reps plus a couple with 100kg/220lbs just cos. We also dropped to 20kg/44lbs for 40+ reps for the challenge

Iso Lateral Mid Row
Much higher rep range. Pumped one lat then the next which felt odd lol
40kg x 20, 60kg x 20 and 80kg/176lbs x 15 reps.

Rear Delt Cable Pulls
