Stoaty Stylee - Operation: Big Unit

[thestoatyone]

Squat

2 x 5 x 146.25kg so I only put a 1.25kg plate on one side. What a doofus...
2 x 5 x 147.5kg

Barbell bench

3 x 5 x 102.5kg

Superset with

One Arm Row

3 x 5 x 45kg

[thestoatyone]

Squat

3 x 5 x 150kg Inflamed shoulders throughout. Form sub-standard, and depth questionable. Last set best of the lot.

Deadlift

1 x 5 x 162.5kg

Press

2 x 5 x 65kg
1 x 4 x 65kg Nah.

Pull-ups

3 x 5 x BW

[thestoatyone]

Squat

3 x 5 x 152.5kg

Barbell bench

3 x 5 x 105kg

Superset with

One Arm Row

3 x 5 x 45kg

[thestoatyone]

Squat

3 x 5 x 155kg not too bad

Deadlift

1 x 5 x 165kg

Press

3 x 5 x 55kg

Pull-ups

3 x 5 x BW

[thestoatyone]

Squat

3 x 5 x 157.5kg Solidly in PB territory here, form not too bad. Felt like I was gunna die though!

Barbell bench

1 x 5 x 107.5kg
1 x 4 x 107.5kg wife came into the garage and started cheering me on about rep 2, lost concentration. Called it a day there.

Superset with

One Arm Row

1 x 5 x 45kg

[thestoatyone]

Squat

1 x 5 x 160kg last one bit ropey, but PB for 5
2 x 3 x 160kg Last set was horrifying. Not enough rest between sets I reckon

Deadlift

1 x 5 x 167.5kg no worries

Press

3 x 5 x 57.5kg feels strong at the bottom, bit weaker at lockout. Might be a flexibility issue

Pull-ups

3 x 5 x BW

Not enough rest between sets I reckon

So annoying when these little things get in your way!

Still, everything looks like it's gotten not just heavier but easier and cleaner in a pretty short space of time, so the big picture's looking good!

Now just keep your deadlift there so I can catch up to you...

Yeah, we're there or there abouts. Quite a few bits coming up over the next month, but settles down after that, so carry on plodding for a bit and then really get a push on for the move to a 200kg squat

[thestoatyone]

Squat

1 x 1 x 150kg
1 x 1 x 160kg
1 x f x 170kg

Not massively impressive, but feeling a touch over trained, so we'll see what the next cycle brings

Barbell bench

3 x 5 x 100kg

Superset with

One Arm Row

1 x 5 x 45kg

Pretty tough. Next week off for Le Mans, then bits on; next major cycle starts early July.

[baldy]

1 x 1 x 150kg
1 x 1 x 160kg
1 x f x 170kg .

How close was 170kg, 167.5kg in the bag?

Enjoy Le Mans, it is on my bucket list.

[thestoatyone]

well I've done 180kg, just talked myself out of it today; controlled if wobbly on the way down, just no aggression out of the bottom so put it down.

And I will; my mates are veterans, so it'll interesting to se what they get me into...

[thestoatyone]

Extended Russian Cycle again, for shits and giggles.

Bench

6x3x100kg

Box-Squat

6x2x127.5kg + chains

DB bench

2x10x30kg
1x5x30kg

Trisetted with some curls and hypers

Not benched in ages. Was embarrassing...

[thestoatyone]

Deadlift

6x3x167.5kg

Press

6x3x62.5kg

Some rows, seated KB press and curls

Strewth this is kicking the shit out of me! Battle on...

[thestoatyone]

Squat

6x3 @ 142.5kg

Floor Press

3x2 @ 85kg + chains. Chains are 15kg each, and the prescribed weight is 100kg, so aiming for total weight at half-way point to be prescribed weight. Too grindy so change of plan

1 x 3 x 70kg + chains. Got carried away
2 x 2 x 70kg + chains. Better.

Some arms stuff for the pump.

[thestoatyone]

Bench

5x4x100kg
1x3x100kg close thing, would have made it if my triceps weren't still fried from the assistance work on Friday

Box-Squat

6x2x112.5kg + chains

Better.

Dropping the assistance work from here on. I still hurt.
