The MilkMan delivers

I was the same as well brah, 200 has a nice ring to it. I think I failed on 2-3 separate occasions, and then after a couple months a consistent training I got it.

Notes
As you can see, no extra reps on the 72.5kg x 3 workset. I did attempt a 4th rep but it got about half way up and wouldn't go any further. Weights are starting to get heavy for me now, and I have tweaked my neck somehow on the 72.5kg set causing some discomfort, but not too much that I couldn't complete the Boring But Big assistance.

Nice work as always milkman.
I know what you mean about being obsessed by a number haha happens all the time with me.
The advice of forgetting about it for a week or two and look at setting a new 5rm or 3rm is good I think. One will follow the other.

Notes
I need to ensure I squat more frequently. I am sure that is the main reason for my lack of progression here. I have every intention of getting another squat session in each week, but due to my shift pattern & work hours this has proven more difficult to do frequently than I had planned. Will work something out.
 
Bit of gripper work this morning, I still do these fairly frequently, just don't always log it - same with the walking, I do 3 miles most days but the distance and pace doesn't really change so it doesn't get logged.

Bodyweight is 97kgs at the moment.
 
Am i right in thinking you have the COC grippers? How do you find them? Been thinking of getting a couple i future.

Hi Rik, no, I was contemplating getting them, I have the Heavy Grips grippers. I don't think they are that highly regarded within the grip community, but they do OK for me. Maybe oneday I will upgrade to CoC.
 
Rik you can pick up CoC's from StrengthShop & I think Pullums.

I have issues with my elbows ATM & grippers are flaring it up, so my CoC's are collecting dust
