Deadlift - Set 1 - 125 kgs - 5 reps
Set 2 - 112,5 kgs - 5 reps

Dips - Set 1 - 7 reps
Set 2 - 6 reps

Pull ups - 6 reps

I missed yesterdays workout because of work. I tried to go for 142,5 on my deadlift today but I couldn't even break it off the floor so I decided to deload (or more accurately the weights decided it for me). I went on a massive hike the day before yesterday which involved some steep hills and that really took it's toll on my recovery. My shins, hamstrings and buttocks are really feeling it.

Hey jpez, how is this programme working out? Have you noticed any body shape changes? I really like DL's but I'm not sure I'd want to/be able to do them every workout...

Hi Neil,

It's good man I've been enjoying it, the workouts are short and intense and I get to do the exercises I love every workout. Physique wise the deadlifts have put a lot of mass on my back and I've lost a bit of mass off my legs from cutting out the squat but I've been seeing gains so far so we'll see how it goes, I'm still early in the program though.

Deadlift - Set 1 - 127,5 kgs - 5 reps
Set 2 - 112,5 kgs - 5 reps

Dips - Set 1 - 5 reps + 5 kgs
Set 2 - bw - 5 reps bw

Chinups - 5 reps + 5 kgs

I got my dipping belt yesterday and put it to use straight away. I loved the added weight on the body weight exercises, it feels like I'm strength training again. I've come to hate doing more than 5 reps on any exercise.

Dips with weight are great fun - I'm sure you'll notice your chest getting bigger too. Seems like a nice, simple programme to follow. I'm not sure I can bring myself to drop squats though given how
much heartache they've caused me over this year!!!

Deadlift - Set 1 - 127,5 kgs - 5 reps
Set 2 - 112,5 kgs - 5 reps

Dips + 7,5 kgs - Set 1 - 5 reps
Set 2 bw - 5 reps

Pull ups - Set 1 - 7 reps

Jump rope - 30/15 - 5 intervals

I finally got my pull ups up to 7 reps! It seemed like I was stuck at six for ever. It's little steps like these that make training worthwhile. I also added some jump rope at the end of my workout. It's 30 secs work 15 rest at normal pace. I could only do 5 intervals before puffing out. I've also stuck with 127,5 kgs with my deadlift for the last few workouts for some recovery. I think Im ready to try for a PR next workout.

* PR

I was pretty sure I was going to nail my deadlift PR today but the real shocker were the dips, I was pretty certain I was going to fail today since I barely did last workouts with 7,5 but I ended up nailing the 10 kgs today so there you go. I'm loving the weighted bodyweight exercises.

Getting sloppy, uh ?
It is wise to take time off to recover. Listen to your body when it tells you something, far too many people don't and get disappointed when performance goes down the drain because of it.

Still greasing the groove before trying for my next PR. The jump rope is a nice addition to my workout, even though I'm using normal pace they're making me lighter on my feet and leaving me short of breath so they're doing their job.
