Week 3 Day 5
OHP:
Went up to 55kg x2, the reps were pretty clean, felt like I had 1-2 more reps in me, but decided to go for 60kg and failed. Will keep the 55kg x2 for the next cycle.
Front Squat:
Went up to 85kgx2 which felt really heavy and decided to stop for today.
Pullups:
6
6
6
6
Leg extensions:
A few sets just to get the blood flowing.
Been dealing with shoulder pain/bicep inflamation and knee pain this week, so decided not to bench. Shoulder is almost healed. Knee was hurting a bit on the first sets of front squats, but by the end it felt much better, aspecially after leg extensions, so hopefully next week I'm going to squat and bench again.
So far it seems that my 2RM only increased on the Back Squat and Bench Press.
2RM for the next cycle:
Back Squat - 120kg->125kg
Bench Press - 90kg->92.5kg
Deadlift - 147.5kg. Even though I could use a 150kg 2RM, as I managed to pull 3 singles @ 147.5kg which were in a fatigued state, but I don't feel myself confident if I don't hit atleast 2 reps on the last set.
OHP - 55kg
Front Squat - 90kg
Next cycle is going to be more about volume, rather than intensity and will last until I need a deload or decide to test my new 2RM or 1RM. Hopefully no more injuries or unexpected life obstacles, I've been dreaming about 100kg bench, 140kg squat and 160kg deadlift for a long time now, and they finally are somewhere on the horizon. Hopefully by the end of winter or in first half of spring.
