-Decided to pull sumo stance for no real reason, felt ok

[MilkManUK]

172.5 x 5 is no joke, good work. I was meant to deadlift tonight but don't feel fully recovered from my squats & military press sessions so had an extra hours rest in bed instead. Plan on killing it tomorrow though! Sucs about the flu, it's that time of year I guess.

[Kinglee]

thanks mate, my pull is probably the only lift that I am not a joke at, however I tend to muscle it up rather than using correct form-been doing alot of reps which I hope will carry over to 200+

Also, I have no idea what I had, but my imune system shut down, was difficult to walk or pick anything up & I was sweating shittons

120x3
140x3
150x3
177.5x3 Rep PR

120x3/3/3

Facepulls:

-Pretty happy with this, I had one more sloppy looking rep in the tank at 177, but called it a day at 3

[MilkManUK]

Nice progression with the rep PRs mate. I'm hoping my knee is OK for my deadlifts today. Are you going to go for 200kg before the year is out?

[Kinglee]

Thanks mang, saw your post about knee problems before, hope you heal up, Ben Nevis will be sure to test that one out. My current 1RM is 195, & I failed at 200 a few weeks before that, but yes before the Christmas break I will smash 200, really I could take 205-210 but I think +5 kilo PR's are good enough!

Also I have just discovered that I have been pulling from a 1 inch defecit as the rubber plates here are only 42.5 cm, where as the calibrated plates at my PL gym are 45. From now on when I go heavy I'll have to see if i can get away with putting a mat under the plates, which should only help
