It is truly amazing to see these detailed logs being put down so devotedly. I could not possibly do this. I have my own papergrid per cycle that holds the progression per training but writing it out here...

WoW great work, keep it up man!

Thanks, it keeps me accountable and with my memory I can look back at where I was at certain stages etc....
 
I'm a bit late to the party, Mick, but that's a nice 180 triple. Well done.
Are you using a hook grip or reverse grip?

Mixed grip, cannot do hook grip too much pain in thumb since breaking my scaphoid bone back in July 2014, will probably attempt 200 tomorrow

Oh my! So you didn't wait until tomorrow then! :) More congrats. You are inspiring me to get back to lifting some heavier loads again. Thanks, Mick.

@Lol Friday's workout was squats, max deadlift still planned for Saturday this will be followed by a recovery week.
 
Yeah, I misread what you said. :)
All the best for the 200 pull tmrw. If you get it, I'm guessing you are good for a 170 squat. Was the 160 easier than you expected? I find that if I nail my form on a max attempt it makes a big difference. Being off by just a little bit and/or not staying really tight can make a max attempt seem so much harder.

200 deadlift achieved last night and I am looking forward to a reduced quantity / intensity week on squats and deadlifts as legs feel a little beat up at the moment.

The 160 squat felt good albeit slow but do not think 170 is there yet, possibly 165 but will only increment 2.5 kgs at a time
