Another HB PR today - 215kg. While im loving this progress, it makes me wonder.... have I been wasting the last 2-3 years 'following a program?' I think perhaps the way forward for me is to lift heavy singles, lift them often and sprinkle in accesories and leave it at that rather than overly...

Thanks dude! Yeah i reckon 220 wpuld go HB, just have to be slightly conservative without spotters/safeties lol

The bar got away from me a touch. Looking at the video it looks ok, just didnt feel 'efficient' if you know what I mean. Also i was in a rush, so was only 90 seconds after the 250 Yeah i think 270 was there, rated the 260 at 8.5-9

Daily max today with HB still up at 205 despite being the 5th day straight of daily maxes, feeling really fatigued and coming off a late shift last night. Feel like there could be a big squat coming soon. Been working as a delivery driver for sainsburys while im furloughed. HB Squat 150 x3 170...

Probably right, I just get curious as to where my LB is at with the HB progressing lol

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...

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

I used to dismiss westside and conjugate as 'for equipped lifters' or for those on steriods or 'not specific enough' But the more I have read and seen about it, the more it makes sense to me as potentially more of an optimal way of training. PS mirin those Good mornings

Another HB pr and some deadlifts that didnt totally suck HB Squats 150 x3 170 x1 190 x1 200 x1 @8 207.5 x1 @9-9.5 (PR) 165 x3x3 @5-6 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...

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...

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 150 x3...

Day 6 So high bar squat doesnt aggravate whatever is going on in my back, so will stick with that for a while. Also helps keep elbow aids at bay HB Squat 150 x2 170 x1 180 x1 190 x1 195 x1 - only 5 kg off my HB PR. Hoping to get HB up to 220+ by the end of lockdown 150 x3x2 Bench 100 x5 120...
