Big interstate move for new job. Longer hours once travel is factored in, but it's a case of double the pay for less work and better conditions and prospects. Frikkin' awesome.

Subsequently, it means some changes to my training; more reps per set (allowing same/more per session volume in a similar amount of time spent training), less deadlift sessions and daily squats will focus on improving 3 and 4 RM's rather than scaling singles (more sets = more breaks between = more time spent = how the f**k do I fit it in).

6-9 reps per day at around my 3-5RM is basically likely extending the 5 forever, and is going to give me a decent amount of work and volume at a relevant load, for maybe 30mins per day on squats.

Keeping it simple with two deadlift sessions per week and doing rows and OHP as accessories, 2-3x per week on other days. RDLs will factor in there somewhere too.

Also, turns out my sumo leverages are pretty great, so am playing around with that a lot and likely a 50-50 split of time spent.
 
Monday;

HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 4,4 - 160kg.

Sumo 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 3 - 220kg, 5,5 - 200kg.

Tuesday;

HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 3,3 - 165kg.

Deads; 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 1 - 230kg, 4,4 - 240kg.

This took an hour, a bit earlier than I normally train.

Realistically I can probably mimic that time period 3-4 times per week, get in one super-long weekend session (max testing or high volume) and I should be right.
 
Wednesday;

HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 4,4 - 165kg.

Deads; 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 1 - 230kg, 4,4 - 240kg.

Easy.
 
Sumos and Deads in the same session.... Educate me, Jester; how do you still have vertebrae in your lumbar spine? I'd think they would shrivel up and turn into powder with that much punishment.

Major congrats on the promotion! I hope it goes well!

Cheers, mate. It's actually a new job in my old home town, same deal but different company. Paying twice as much doesn't suck!


Sumo does nothing on/to/for my spine, to be honest. Almost certainly a function of leverages and hip socket.

Congrats on the baby, that's always a good way to destroy your maxes. How's the sleep?
I'm always jealous of those lucky parents who's children start sleeping through the night early on.
