Getting shit done

- Bench: 101/222 x 6
- Sumo Deadlift: 150/330 x 8 (rep PR)
- Weighted Dip: 20/44 x 3 x 10
- Front Squat: 60/130 x 2 x 6
- EZ Tricep Extension: 32.5/71 x 3 x 12
- Core work between lifts
- Neck Harness 16/35x4x45



I’ve got a new video format for my training. I will include multiple lifts for the day in the one video and categorise it according to date.

Once again, I know I shouldn’t have done 6 reps on the bench (and I nearly paid the price and missed it) and I swear it won’t happen again. I just felt like I had another one in me. Next intensity day bench will be an outright PR: fucking pumped.

Deadlift felt fairly heavy. After reading an Eric Cressey article on the sumo deadlift, I stopped trying to get my hips so low, which would inevitably shoot up to a more mechanically efficient height just before I pulled anyway. I thought todays looked a bit better than previous pulls but I think my form still has a way to go. Oh and we have to deadlift outside now as demanded by my dad.

I was able to do some light front squats today without any real hip pain which was good. Once I am back squatting regularly again I think I will front squat on Fridays and back squat on Mondays.
