Did a little 1RM session on squat, bench press and deadlift.
Got a combined 655kg in the hour, which is 1,221lbs. So not far off the 1,250lbs mark.
Felt good.
what did you get for each lift? Current bodyweight? Got a combined 655kg in the hour, which is 1,221lbs. So not far off the 1,250lbs mark.
Felt good.
Squat (high-bar) = 175kg
Bench Press = 150kg
Deadlift = 230kg
Used my manta-ray on the squats, and wore a belt when I got to 147.5kg. On my warm-up sets for the deadlift, I attempted my 4th set with a belt, but I'm not used to it and it felt weird. So didn't wear my belt for the 5th warm-up set or my deadlift 1RM. Wore my Addidas powerlifts for all lifts. Squats felt good...think I could have gone more if I didn't have the deadlift shortly afterwards. But my back was starting to feel it, and didn't have a mirror, so was starting to doubt (get afraid) of the depth even though I had set the safety catch bars.
Haven't done a 1RM for years, so I followed this pathway.

Have to say I am happy with my squats after mostly staying away from them for years to do more running. I'm hoping I can keep my routine the same, but I always focus more on the Manc 10k as we get towards May.
My legacy total when I weighed over 120kg was over 700.

Squat

Good mornings
Ham curls
Goosed. Didn't puke though, no milk before hand seems to be the key! Still dieting, around 2500cals/day. Diets suck.

I'm dieting on 3300cals based on a few calcs, was on 3000 but just stopped losing weight.
My sessions are also about 2 1/2 hrs long so did wonder if I had effectively put my body in starvation mode?
Any tips on DOMS for legs? Only seems to be my legs that can't recover :/

'Bulking' as a natural pretty much means 'getting fat', though this is only usually spotted when trying to get BF levels down later. I'm getting down to ripped level before I even look at getting bigger, makes it easier to get to stage ready condition later on.I'm dieting on 3300cals based on a few calcs, was on 3000 but just stopped losing weight.

If you've stopped loosing weight, lower calories or do more- I had to substantially cut mine back to get things moving again. Also, cut your rest times and stop gossiping at the gym

But I'm like a celebrity there...... If you've stopped loosing weight, lower calories or do more- I had to substantially cut mine back to get things moving again. Also, cut your rest times and stop gossiping at the gym
I forgot you wanted to get on stage, maybe you should start to eat clen and tren hard?
I've started losing again on higher calories?
Just going to follow this for a bit and see what happens. Worst case I'll feel stronger for a week or 2

Are you mad? :DI train Friday, weekend is my time off but I'd like to do some event training. They're still really stiff now :/
Due to various reasons I had time of this week...and I am glad, my legs were like concrete, I think the accumulation of running thrice a week and resistance four times a week had an effect. They had recovered last night for me to have a decent 1RM test. Today my quads hurt in a different way, like they've been pounded with a steak hammer, but they were glad of that enforced rest.Rest is a misused tool!
edit.
Nice article about deadlifts and belts.
