Wow! That's a lot of shrugs, Mick. Why such a disproportionately large amount of volume for traps? Are you rehabbing an injury? Sorry if I've missed a post about this.
 
Just not done them for a long time and once I go heavy causes a problem with left elbow so keeping weight light and volume high and will see how it goes, my traps generally respond to either very heavy loads or very high volume.

Flat Bench - myo-reps with 20-30 seconds rest between sets - awful session this morning complete failure on 10th rep and started to feel bad from 6th rep onwards, not sure what is going on with flat bench as I appear to be getting weaker (last cycle was 92.5kgs for 10 reps) - will keep progressing by 2.5% and just go for total reps.

Your programming is quite something, Mick. It has to be insanely easy to plan future work given the metrics that you are capturing. Great lifting - and great stuff!

Your deadlift is progressing nicely.
Thanks for that will up it to 160 for next Monday and hope to get 5 reps if not will stick with that weight until can get 3 sets of 5 (or 6, 5, 4) then move up to 165 starting at 5 sets of 3 until I can get 3 x 5 reps - at what point do you think a belt will be required - just singles and doubles?

Weekly weigh in - Friday 21 November 2014

179.2lbs / 81.28kgs - no change (Bulk Phase - 3 weeks in - up 2.4lbs / 1.088kgs)

Average nett calorie intake 3500 (3570 gross before any cardio exercise) - carbs @ 41% (366 g/day), protein @ 32% (286 g/day) and fats @ 27% (107 g/day)

Looks like I need to up calories as no change in the scale weight (or in BF level) so will increase to 3,750 calories and see how that goes.
