    120kg -SUCCESS!!, a bit high, but ill get it
    ---

    ---
    Bench

    70kg x2 slightly wider

    ---
    Pull ups Shoulder width grip

    Squat was probably 2-3 inches high, but i know i can get it. Deadlifts where hard to breath on cause of the belt but still a good day

    i just realised, with a 120 kg squat, a 77.5kg-80kg bench, a 150kg+ deadlift my total could be 360kg!!

    Cardio, I don't want to rain on your parade... but...

    You are making some mad increases. Have you been making vids and checking form?

    A couple of days ago you had a 100kg squat pb, and now you've added 20kg (with a belt).

    Just be careful to progress without injury. You don't have to absolutely push it to the max each time. You have loads of time.

    yea i know, i realise it is a bit mad, but the belt does seem to help me increase alot, i purposely waited today till the squat rack with the mirror was free. and i took a video last week, of both squat and deadlift, thanks for caring! :)

    I would feel slightly responsible in an internet way if you injured yourself and I didn't say something.

    Anyway, you are doing well, so good luck :)

    Squats can be deceptive in the mirror!!

    Even if you don't wanna throw them up, get em for your own sake.

    My new belt put 10kgs+ on my deadlift, so I wouldn't worry about it, they definitely make a huge difference.

    Today

    Absolutly ****e squats tonight, could not get tight at all
    was absolutly bolloxed, and to top it all off, squats where mega high, i got a vid, ill throw it up later

    Squats
    95kg 3x5- disgusting....
    ---
    Power cleans
    62.5kg 5x3, looked very good
    ---
    Shoulder press
    50kg 3x5
    ---
    Abb pulldowns

    Thoughts:
    Pissed off, had no time and was just so tired, but i am really disgusted with squats, broke at the knees, was wobbling all over the place. Should have stopped after one set tbh.
