Just finished my 7th week of SS. I'm away on holidays on Tuesday now have 1 more workout before I go, so not more deadlifts until Weds 3rd...I'll see if I can do 75 x 5 then.

Last pre-holiday workout

Squats - 5x20, 5x40, SET x 55
Overhead Press - 5x15, SET x18 (complete with trembling, nearly dropping barbell on head effort!)
Assisted Chin-up- 5x-30, SET x -27.5 Failed on last rep of last set but still chuffed...would be interested in testing my 1RM on these

Also did 3x10 tricep thingies with a 10kg weight.

Funny story - as I was finishing a (tasty ) guy arrived and started doing all this mobility work, very impressive, mad walking while squatting, like he was about to do that Russian dance! So thought to myself wow I'm going to hang around check out his squats, bet they're atg (hence my tricep work). So he loads up 80kg, psychs himself up and.........dip! I swear to God, I've seen puddles deeper. Pffft!

Morning all <waves>
Back from a lovely holiday where the only lifting I did was glasses of Rioja
Weight is up, not surprisingly...but back on track with diet so hopefully will be back down to normal soon.

Squats 5x20, 5x40, set x 50 (yeah wussed out, was up to 55 before my 1.5 week break)
Bench Press 5x20, 5x25, set x 27.5
Dead Lift 5x50, 3x70, 5x75 An extra 5kg on my 5 reps.

Forgot to do my stretches so will prob be sore tomorrow.

Dotcomdolly

Squats- 5x20, 5x40, set x 55kg. Felt good, will try to add another 2.5kg next time
Overhead Press-5x15, SET x 18kg, still giving these my all so not sure when I'll be able to move up on these
Chin_ups Disastrous. Had to keep adjusting the weights.
4x-26.25, 5x-27.5, 4x-27.5, 5x-30 :mad:

And then because I really want to get back race fit I did 2km on the tm at 10kph/1% gradient. Struggled, but hopefully my cardio lungs will return!

It was such a crisp sunny morning I ditched the gym and went out for a run instead. 3.8km in 24mins. 8 days to my first race since the Summer.
