Todays workout -

Squats (Warmup 1x5 bar, 1x5 47kg 1x5 77kg 1x5 87kg) PR 97kg 5/5/5/5/5
Benchpress (Warmup 1x5 40kg 1x5 60kg 1x5 70kg) PR 94.5kg 5/5/5/5/5
Barbell Row PR (Warmup 1x5 40kg) PR 74.5kg 5/5/5/5/5
Weighted Dips (Warmup 1x5 1x5 20kg) 30kg 5/5/5

Squats - Great, I was determined to nail this weight before my holiday, feels great knowing I'm only 3kg away from the big 100.

Benchpress - Was not expecting this, form went terrible on the last 2 sets, could not keep my shoulders tight and like usual, the right arm struggled like hell.

Barbell row- No problems.

Weighted dips - Arms felt shagged after all of the above, takes so much energy and stength to achieve PR's, was pleased to get these over and finished with.

Summary - Really pleased with todays workout, was not expecting to hit so many PR's. on holiday for a week now. It will be interesting to see if I can lift the same weight after. Will concentrate on doing 20 mins of stretches and mobility excersices every day during my holiday, and hopefully this will help for when I get back into my training.

I'm sure you will be with me by the end of next week.

[Shox]

haha, i hope so, the competition will help me push myself further

[Jimmie]

I have a week off, spend the whole week eating crap and drinking lager, come back, and over the weekend end up with a bloody sore throat, chesty cough and bunged up nose.
Felt like crap this morning when I woke up, so no workout today and possible not for the rest of the week. At this rate I'm sure I will have to deload pretty much everything. Hopefully I can clear it before the end of the week, and get myself back on track and back in the squat competition.

Taking a week off could be the best thing you do mate. I tried to train through a mild flu and it just knocked the energy right out of me and made me feel 10 times worse the next day. Some would argue that you should train through it but in my experience it depletes your immune system further. Maybe a few light sets would've been ok, just to keep the habit of going to the gym.

Good work on your PR's btw, that bench is somethin else!

[Jimmie]

Thanks Jiggy, throat is not sure anymore, just coughing up flem and a runny nose to get rid of. I'm going to attempt a workout tomorrow, like you said, I will be keeping it light.

[Jimmie]

No workout today, this bloody cold is driving me mad, woke up this morning with a banging headache due to all the coughing and blowing my nose. Somebody at work told me, it took him 3 weeks to get rid of it, I told him I plan on getting rid of it in a week.

Keep with it mate and look after your self.Just reading your log and your weights pre holiday were very impressive..good luck

[ianfarrar51]

Good log Ian, and good progress. I myself am very much in the same boat as you with Bench and Squats at the same level of weight

Hi Jimmie our stats are very similar apart from our weight!! Your lifts are awesome at 84kg mate, I'm currently at 115kg! Thanks for dropping by hoping to hit that 100kg bench by Year end too 95 seemed real heavy the other day though!

[Jimmie]

95 seemed real heavy the other day though!

I know what you mean, not sure if I will reach the big 100kg by christmas now, what with this dam cold.

[Shox]

I think your ohp is ur most impressive lift. 62.5kg is massive
