Happy the scale is moving back haha. Im no where as strong enough to justify being THIS heavy. YET.  Gna treat myself to cheesecake when i break my fast for the day around 4pm.

Yesterdays OHP workout was wrecked when my R rear delt/tarp was strained from the stupid calf raise set i did with 200kg. Basically my bar is flexy as fk and when i was putting it back into the rack ofc it bend so much that to get it into the pins i had to strain and thats how i ruined my ohp workout for the week. Nevermind.

My activity levels are down with winter. I tried to make up with it with treadmill but i guess i found it affected squats. So idk. Just have to work around it i guess. Lifting today.

Notes:
blah squats, on the last rep of the the last set of ohp, tweaked my neck. good job dickhead. also those 3x5 squats were just done in anger, form was shit, and i failed to realise i wasnt wearing a vest when i did back extensions, only 50kg not 60kg. so this was a forgetable training day. on and ontowards

Isn't your limiting factor quads for squats? What are your thoughts on doing some supplementary quad work to expedite squat progress?

Also, I'm interested in throwing in some paused variations to change it up a bit. What benefit do you think you get from doing the majority of your squats with a pause?

Trying to decide what sort of training to do today. I think if i switch to MWF then i shouldnt do volume today. But. That's what i was originally gna do so what else? I could try rep out 130+kg, sprint, dunk, ohp and that would be a decent effort.

Bodyweight: 82.8kg
Activity:
Misc: R thigh doms

Um so yeah i was just thinking to myself yesterday i shud be looking at 82.5kg as an upper limit for getting my 5x5x140kg@80kg milestone and today i wake up not far from 82.5kg. Nice. Considering im now halfway to repping 140kg (latest pr is 135kg double), im too heavy already lol.

The working plan is to:
1. get 5x5x140kg@80-85kg,
2. maintain 5x5x140kg for 3 weeks to make a new strength setpoint
3. Cut bw to 80kg while maintaining the 5x5x140kg.
4. Maintain bf% for 3 weeks to make a new bodyfat setpoint

At which point i will be able to chase a new goal (say 5x5x150kg @ 82.5kg).

This is the heaviest ive been this year. Idk, i ate a lot last night so it's prob just cos of that. Not worried.
I didnt actually reach a deficit today. Just was too sore and i wanted to make sure i wasnt too messed up to train well tmr. Just one day wont hurt. right?

Haha so anyone who has played bball here would not be at all suprised at this..  :uhhhfacepalm:

Wow. That's heavy. WA must be a different scene than here. We have arguments with the refs but shake hands at the end of the game and leave it there.  Having said that there's probably some areas of Melbourne I'd rather not play social ball in.
