Good to hear dude especially where squats are so important.
Well the snow is on its way out but its still everywhere and walking anywhere is pretty dangerous haha I definitely looked like a drunk/crack head attempting to walk down the hill to work on saturday

day 16

sqats
50kg
Press
20kg
Deadlift
85kg

deloaded on the squats to give my knee a break, was just nice to be back in the rack, starting presses from scratch with full concentration on form and it was a dream:) a hell of a lot simpler, and managed the deads, just haha starting to become a major challenge but the fact 100kg is so close is the driving force.

Day 21

Squat
52.5kg
Bench
45kg
Row
40kg

Dialled awaits back a little to get back in the game, i saw a vid that said push your knees out when squatting, so I gave it a try and it's made the world of difference
Bench was awesome, the last rep of the last three sets were he'll, I had to use every ounce of my being to complete but I bloody did it
And Dialled back o therow as well because I was concentrating on rep number instead of form before and was getting sloppy
All in all a bloody good session

Your bench is coming up quick mate how's your chest feeling?

[klaatu21]

Hey Ross, feels totally fine, the worst it ever feels is a little tender if I poke it the day after lifting, not noticed any size differences yet but I'll be uploading new pics on the 1st for a second opinion, how's your training brother?

[vegan_rossco]

Ahha yeah I get that, and in the front of my shoulders! Cool I'll keep checking in man
Yeah trainings all gooood! Next week is deload week which basically means I'll be lifting quite light to give myself some recovery

[klaatu21]

Looking forward to that then?

[vegan_rossco]

Hell no! I wanna be lifting heavy haha! You doing much thos weekend dude?

[klaatu21]

Working working working haha something new, just look at the big picture, deloading helps lifting heavy in future, but I totally get where your coming from.

28/01
day 22

squat
55kg
press
22.5kg
deadlift
90kg

still a slight twinge in myknee and back so im thinking of doing leg presses for a while to ease the stress as squatting is the only time they play up.
presses are alot better than they used to be.
deadlifts were a bitch but managed it, a little rounding on my lower back that i need to keep an eye on.

on a plus not its my fortnightly weight in muscle mass is up .5kg fat mass is down 1.3kg.

30/01
day 23

squat
57.5kg
bench
47.5kg
4-5-3-5-5
row
42.5

bench has become brutal, i knew it would be difficult but only managed to finish a set with a spot, my delts are screaming at me so i guess they're the weakness, not surprised considering my press is weak.

[vegan_rossco]

Big numbers coming up soon ed! 50kg on bench and 100Kg on deads! Are you confident you'll hit them? Hope everythings cool where you are bro!
