Brilliant.
I think I've read on here before its a 'proper' gym as well?
yep.loads of iron, no women.1 toilet. no aerobics apart from a bike that we hang our huge coats on

Fancy a few sessions? Deadlifts of course. I'd ask Lewberry but would just be too much of a fanny on for us two to keep stripping the bar down to 2 plates for him

Balls to that I talk enough about god as it is, let's just book a hotel and get some sleep.Definitely. We'll sort something out nearer the time as I'm not even sure when I finish work for Christmas yet. I just know I plan on being in the North East between Christmas and new year.
Would be good to have a bench session actually!
Might go and meet Lewberry at the world famous Peterlee Leisure centre and watch him doing bicep curls all oiled up. We can then discuss the existence of God over a KFC!

Last week of the cycle done. Some things I'm dead pleased with: pulled 200kg for a double for the first time. Squatted 172.5kg for the first time, and I felt like utter shit that day (hungover from work Christmas party).
My bench is still a cause for concern and something I'm going to get scrutinised very thoroughly. There's no way my lower body lifts can be progressing so well and my bench lagging so much without it being purely a form issue. It's not like I have any shoulder problems causing me discomfort.
I can seem to get rep records easily on it but when it comes to progressing on heavy singles I just can't do it.
I'm going to deload 50% intensity wise this week and do a bit more steady state cardio than I otherwise would. I had a nice bike ride the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel fit as a lop as well, surprisingly.
Re: that competition in Feb @Titus, would you recommend actually getting on a peaking programme or as it's my first meet and I'm not really going to challenge for a place, just keep going with 5/3/1 and see how I fare?
My bench was 90kg.and I got so irritated I just benched 7 times a week working up to the heaviest singles I could, it went up to 120 within about 4 months, Since I stopped doing it my biggest bench in the year since has been 125, keep doing 531 but work up to a single every day around 95% of your maxLast week of the cycle done.

Keep with 5/3/1 and deload going in to it. Plenty of joker sets to get used to setting up and moving singles IMO.

I'm not entirely sure why I stopped but that last post has convinced me to do it again, I'll bench and squat 4 times a week with standard 531 added in.
What an absolute bellend I am for just realising.
Just add a bit volume and unleash your inner body builder, still easy but at least you'll feel you've done something.I'm now sick of this de-load week like. I feel like my need for it has been satiated after a few days.
Only 10 kg between us in our totals now, not including ohp.Thought I'd resurrect this:
The week's plan:
Predicted 1rm set as 110kg (bench), 220 (deads), 75 (OHP) and 185 (squats). Again, using 90% of those as the figures for my programme to really maximise jokers.

Will ramp up those jokers as the weeks progress in this cycle (this is a second cycle before a deload) and maybe have a run at 500lbs (226.5kg) deadlift by the end. Which would leave me just over 30kg away from my whole year's deadlift goal already.
Haven't included accessory work but I will squat and bench every training day with appropriate levels of intensity for how far they are from my main training session for those lifts. I'll only deadlift 2 out of 4 training days.

What weight are you?Well I've never squatted 185 or pulled 220. Just I theoretically should be able to.
