Because the program said so

Squats felt the best they've felt in a long time. 180s were slick. Some of the 190s were too. The vid I got was of the first set, which was the worst.

First time doing proper deadlifts in god knows how long for me today... they felt great.
God some deadlift mojo back. And judging by how they looked and felt I probably could have pulled 250kg x3 today, which would be an all time PR too.
...and there was me thinking my deadlift was in the can. At least something is working!

Nice job getting them to shut up, seems every second person with a bit more muscle than average has to be on the juice now because of the - "I was a year in the gym with a trainer and I never got that big" brigade
Saying that you do have quite a bit more muscle than the average person Hanley

Good enough day of training. Squats were a bit all over the place. Really feeling the effects of not having much squat volume recently. 10 weeks left on this training cycle so will probably give smoething smolov-y a bash after in order to give my squat a quick spurt since my bench / deadlift training seems to be going so well.
205 x2 here: (witness the sh*tness - but think it's the heaviest double I've done this year... ugh)

Squat skill test out of the way. Pleasantly surprised by a not too awful session even tho I wasn't feeling up for it. The weeks off for holidays were a disappointment so will hopefully smash thru the next 10 weeks without incident.
Bench / Deadlift skill test on Thursday.
Unfortunate timing with the RevFit comp on Saturday, but even more unfortunate that a funeral is probably happening on Saturday which is gonna take me out of the comp anyway.
C'est la vie!

W11D1 (Actually think it's D2? You kow what it is D2 - there was only 3 training days in W10)
A) Bench:
warm up to 140kg x1
147.5kg x1
152.5kg x1 Deadlift:
warm up to 200kg x1 no belt
225kg x1 - belt on
240kg x1
250kg x1
262.5kg x1
270kg x1 ...heh
That's a 657.5kg training total, equal to my best ever in comp, at a couple of kg lighter. So good for a 407 wilks. Wish I'd done 2.5kg heavier on SOMETHING for an all time total. Prolly had 2.5kg extra in each lift
Bench was very disappointing - but I know it needs more volume and intensity to grow. MAy adjust sheiko in some way to make it work.
Deadlift was incredible. Was due for a run at 262.5kg only but knew on the warm ups, and after my most recent 240kg x2, that it was on for a good day. I think there's a good chance 275kg woulda gone for an all time PR based off how the bar moved.
Buuuut I was farked after the 270kg energy wise and knew pushing it was not wise. 250/262/275 would have got me there, but that's why the skills test is good, to know what to do in comp.

Have the IPF RevFit open all weekend which I'm lifting at. Lifting - not competing. Just the way the training cycle is working out.
575kg is the qualifier for next years nationals, so single attempts on 200/135/240 for me tomorrow.
Probably won't end up being enough to qualify, but no one knows where the upward adjusted totals will be anyway so no point killing myself for em.
This program is set to peak in week 20 (mid december) so I'll get that outta the way, test, and see where I'm at.
419 is the 10th placed wilks total in ireland this year.
245/160/280 at 95 would give me 426 wilks and put me back in the top 10 overall, which was the only real goal this year anyway 0 -

So expect a disjointed log...

... and after the squats Dietmar made me pull up to 232.5kg x3 which is about 95% of my 3RM after days of squats and a full deadlift workout. Didn't ask Qs, just did. He seemed happy with it.
Got some small tweaks to squat and dead, but looks like everything is now locked in with acceptable tekkers.
Plan from here is;
- add a rep to all working sets of squats and benches (volume ++)
- rerun phase 3 weeks 3/4/5
- run phase 2 weeks 1-6
- run comp prep cycle
- peak for IPF meet in Dublin in January
All going to plan I should see a big wilks PR that makes a statement I'm not passed it yet!0 -

...and I'm gonna drop the dips / GHRs and Ab work as I feel it's additional volume I don't need which can be directed elsewhere.
For example, today I'll pull to my knees no belt at about 60% 5x4.
I'll also be tracking daily and weekly volumes from here in the form of number of lifts.
Day: squat - 32 / bench - 53 / dead - 18
Week: squat - 32 / bench - 53 / dead - 18
Target will be an annualized 16,000-20,000 competition variants per year. That's approximately;
Day: squat - 23 / bench - 31 / dead - 23
Week: squat - 95 / bench - 155 / dead - 95
Some days will be higher, some will be lower.0 -

Looking at my training as:
Monday/Tuesday/Thursday/Friday
Then have catch up days as necessary.
May add a light bench day to the wednesday along with upper back work after a few weeks. Prolly need to prioritise some scapular retraction work now with extra bench volume.
We also have an ER training rack and ohio power bar on the way to the gym 0 -

Good session. Everything felt great.
Working hard on the new squat position to keep my hips more under the bar. The 155s are looking so pretty for it. The trick is to hold position as the weight increases!
Benching is still mid grip. I still hate it. But it's getting a bit better.
Speed pulls felt great today. Position was hit and miss but on the whole, awesome.

...gotta do seated GMs and upper back later.
Good session. Trained with Jay and Luke.
Dead start position was a bit taller which means better leg drive and faster pulls.
Close grip bench was alright. On the front squat I concentrated on keeping my hips under which made it harder than normal, but means it will actually help my squat rather than being lazy.
First week tracking volume comprehensively this week. All lifts done > 60%. Interesting stuff.

Good day. Fatigue hit in a big way this week. Will be using next week as a deload for sure before heading into a 6 week prep / 5 week peak phase.
Everything moved well. Bench felt great once I set up properly. Like I coulda gone 145x3 off my chest no problem.
Squat was nice all the way thru. Never felt hard and always felt in position (or close to it).
Floor Press was done mid grip, like spoto press. I still hate that grip but its improving.
Upper back work because my collarbones are sore from all the benching...
And the deadlifts because I deadlift daily!
Tomorrow calls for heavy enough pause above the knee and block pulls, so dropped the volume today a bit to accomodate.

Loooong workout but a great one.
First time pulling with our new OPB and I LOOOOOVE it. Like. Really love it. The stiffness translates so well to a good deadlift for me.
The 215 pause below knee pulls were so fast off the ground they were hard to stop.
Benching feels good. The 135s looked so much better than normal as well. Another week of the same weight then into the next phase everything goes 2.5kg over prescribed.
Block pulls today were AMAZING. They're actually the heaviest deadlift variant I've ever repped. I don't count above the knee **** since it's BS. The block was only a plate, so not even below knees. More like mid shin. First set moved shockingly well.
3030 squats continue to be miserable but are going great things for my positional awareness.
Plan next week it to take a small deload - 1 working set of each movement at a 10% reduction in volume. Then 6 weeks of prep cycle 2 with mods already discussed, taking another 1 working set / 10% deload in week 4 or 5 ahead of heading into the peaking cycle for the competition.

Good training week for me. Volumes on deadlift lower but intensity was much much higher. 6 reps at 95% was tough going.
Have a nice crew together at the moment - myself, Jay, Luke and Eoin all training together 4x per week makes things so much more enjoyable.0 -

Yesterday was a 20,000 step hike. Climbed Mount Brandon down in Dingle, tis Ireland's 9th highest peak apparently.
Only took about 3.5hrs up and down including 30 mins at the top to chill out and have some food. Nice day.
Bit sore today, but currently en route to City Gym in Limerick for a quick lifting pit stop.

This'll prolly be the longest consistent training cycle I've strung together, ignoring holidays in August, so excited to see the result.0 -

Jesus. Back with a bang.
Benching was god awful. Really really poor. Every time I spend a few days building / DIY'n my shoulder stability on the right side goes to ****. Every time. Benching was so poor today.
Squatting was a bit rough. Took some time to get into it, but once I did all was good.
The fat grip press was in instead of the board press which was RX'd. Went well.
2x pause deads felt good.
Long long long session today. Hoping to compress them down a bit in future, but at that volume there's not much I can to make it happen faster.
For reference, if I did that workout 4x/week for a year, I'd be hitting 27,500 reps. That's a lot. Especially when you consider that free strength plan I put up here has the equivalent of 12,800 reps a year.

Body fat % down AGAIN despite not tracking kcals and doing by best to eat as much as possible. Sitting at 12.4% now. You can totally out train a bad diet. You just need to do about 20,000 lifts per year to do it.
****ting at least 3x day now with all the food going in. Struggling to get 3,500kcal/day.
Deficit pulls were great today.
Close grip bench felt ok despite my shoulder being a dick.
...yes, I have a penis for a shoulder.
Block pulls moved alright, all things consider. And tempo squats sucked dick as always.
Did this workout about 3 months ago and the def pulls were at like 165kg and the block pulls around 210/215kg. Sizeable increase in daily workload since then!
