Week 2
Did 5 of the 10 sets belted today for the squats , Smashed them all felt really easy , even paused the last triple for a count of 3.
After all that I did a 160 Sumo pull and then some working sets.
No box jumps because I damn near broke my toe yesterday smashing it into a pool table. It looks broken, but it doesn't feel broken, probably just very badly bruised .

Week 2 Done , Back is Back to full health , For some stupid reason I'd started unracking the bar in a hollow "tail tucked under" brace,
this is woeful for my back and give me shooting pain in the bottom of the squat, so then I round, and things only get worse.
Bracing as normal and squats this week have been great , even the 10 triples today.

Week 3 Done, Felt strong all week except for today.
yesterday I had a 2.5 Hour grilling by 2 professors on my research transfer report, Glad to say I passed with no corrections so I'm officially on the PhD register. Many cans were had in celebration so I was feeling a bit rough today.
Pancakes from Yogism and a trip to Temple bar food market helped but my lifts suffered.

Week 4!
Good week of training, especially happy with bench today 95kg for three was grand and I had 1 left in the tank.(Barbell row on day 4 should be DB row cba changing and reuploading it, on my tablet atm)
I'm on the fence of whether to go for 1rep maxes next week or do the 1-4reps at 97.5% and then max the week after. I prefer to go all out for 1 rather than try for reps. Definitely making gains.
Calories up to 3000 now, weight is between 81 and 82kg which is +4kg in about 4 months. Slowest bulk so far which im quite happy with!0 -

10kg and my sumo now matches my best ever conventional.
It wasn't the best looking pull but after 3 failed attempts I got 190 up.
There's a lesson in there somewhere about maxing out at 10pm after a long days work but it had to be done as the rest of my weekend is gonna be busy and boozy.0 -

I got a 7 Site Fat caliper measurement done today to see how everything is coming along. Same trainer I got the others done with.
So after 6 months.
I'm taking the measurements and changes with a pinch of salt, I would have thought I was closer to 13-15% BF. Either way I'm going to be doing a mini cut for the next 8-12 weeks.

Well as I thought, that was wildly exaggerating my gains.
The average for the rest of the week has been about 3 kg lighter (82.2), which means the Bf% stays the same but its only about 2.1kg lean mass which is more realistic I think.
It also means less of an intensive cut
side note: Training this week has been tough, because of all the PRs the weights have jumped up. Manageable but ....the DOMS....0 -

Week 2 done, Squatting on Thursday was tough, weight has gone up 12.5kg from the last cycle, the last two working sets were very very tough.. Benching on friday was woeful too, hadn't eaten enough, was busy all day in work and workout afterwards felt crappy.
Was training today with ConZy in macken street, I was working on my set of 10@127.5kg but on the first and every subsequent rep the lever of my belt hit the previous song button on my mp3 player, it was absolutely awful I was tempted to bail and retry but I kept going. This is the video and what I was hearing at the time.
we then went to My Meat Wagon and I ate a pig. ConZy had a cow.
