Rob's New Approach

Trained today:

Squat - 2 * 5 @ bar / 5 @ 40 / 5 @ 60 / 5 @ 80 / 3 * 5 @ 107
Press - 2 * 5 @ bar / 5 @ 35 / 4/5/4 @ 50 (backwards on these again and not sure why)
Deadlift - 2 * 5 @ 60 / 2 @ 100 and aborted (got dual niggles in right lower back and back of right knee at the moment and felt like something was going to get injured, will get a ton of stretching done and re-attempt next week)

Seems like there's some recovery issues happening, not been sleeping great as get home from work very late at night and have needed to be up mornings due to sorting out stuff with the house, a little more food might be in order too as no weight has been gained for the last couple of weeks, will look into that over the weekend.
 
Today's session:

Squat - 2 * 5 @ bar / 5 @ 40 / 4 @ 60 / 2 @ 85 / 3 * 5 @ 108
Bench - 2 * 5 @ bar / 4 @ 40 / 3/2 @ 55 / 4/4/3 @ 73
Chin up - 8/10/8
Back Extension - 3 * 15

Wednesday will be 109 for squats, 50 again for press and 60 for power clean.
 
Yesterday's session got done today as had house stuff to sort:

Squat - 2 * 5 @ bar / 4 @ 42.5 / 3 @ 65 / 2 @ 87.5 / 3 * 5 @ 109
Press - 2 * 5 @ bar / 4 @ 27.5 / 3 @ 35 / 2 @ 42.5 / 3 * 5 @ 50 (about time)
Power Clean - 2 * 3 @ bar / 3 @ 30 / 3 @ 40 / 3 @ 50 / 5 * 3 @ 60

Tomorrow's session will be Saturday and then hopefully back on schedule Monday, targets are 110 for squats, 73 again for bench and an impovement on chin ups.
 
Finally got back to it today, tons of stuff going on at the moment with work, house purchase and other real life stuff so training's having to take a back seat for a bit:

Squat - 2 * 5 @ bar / 4 @ 42.5 / 3 @ 65 / 2 @ 87.5 / 3 * 5 @ 110
Bench - 2 * 5 @ bar / 4 @ 33 / 3 @ 57.5 / 2 @ 60 / 4/3/3 @ 73
Chin up - 10/12/9
Back Extension - 3 * 15

Targets for next session (hopefully Wednesday) are 111 for squat, 51 for press and 142.5 again for deadlift...
 
Today's session started well:

Squat - 2 * 5 @ bar / 5 @ 42.5 / 3 @ 65 / 2 @ 87.5 / 3 * 5 @ 111
Press - 2 * 5 @ bar / 5 @ 27.5 / 3 @ 35 / 2 @ 42.5 / 3* 5 @ 51

Then went to shit:

Deadlift - 2 * 5 @ 60 / 5 @ 80 / 3 @ 100 / 2 @ 120 / 0 @ 142.5 (just wouldn't move at all, don't know what the fuck's going on but very infuriating)

Deloaded by 20% to 112.5 and ground out 5 which still felt ridiculously hard, have upped food just recently so most probably a rest issue and there's not much I can do about that, got a million and one things going on at the minute, not been sleeping great and am coming off the back of my eighth day at work in a row too (still got two more to go).

Will just start building up again from here I guess.

Friday's targets are 112 for squat, 73 yet again for bench and some sort of improvement on chins...
