Day 9

Squats
Didnt feel as good as Wednesday, but still happy that on a bad day 200kgs is pretty comfy with High bar. Be interesting to see if all this high bat work carries over to low bar when I go back to it, but right now HB just feels a bit easier on my body with the high frequency

Then played around with some banded rows and tricep work

 
Good news is 200 HB is almost a daily minimum, even though todays was a bit of a grind

Good mornings 70 x15x2
Banded triceps, 4x25
Banded face pulls 4x25

 
200 looked like @8-8.5.

How does the Kia go? We’re not too far off having to upgrade one of our Toyota’s (age, size etc.)

Definitely a 9 - 9.5

Yeah its ok, i have a kia rio, and the family car is a hyundai tuscon. Would recomend both of them. Although the rio is quite small, so not ideal for family days out etc...
 
Another HB pr and some deadlifts that didnt totally suck

HB Squats
150 x3
170 x1
190 x1
200 x1 @8

Bench
110 x3
130 x2
150 x1 @6.5
160 x1 @8
165 x1 @9 (TnG becuase I bitched out with no spotters or safeties)

Deadlift
Played with a narrower stance, and felt surprisingly good. Felt like I had a bit more leg drive off the floor
230 x1
250 x1 @7 - surprised that this actually felt quite good considering the lack of deadlifting lately.
210 x1x3 @5

 
So gyms to re open April 12th apparently

So my new goal is to high bar squat 500lb (227.5kg) before then. Going to continue with the bulgarian training until the end of lockdown

Good news was the daily max of 210 moved very nicely. Bad news is it was low bar and the return of this weird lat/back cramping tight pain

It seems to be load effected, so its as the weight gets heavier it kicks in

Will go back to high bar and add in some low bar on the back offs at lower intensities
