Intensity day
I don't make it to the gym on Saturdays very often but the place was all but empty. It was lovely to not have to wait on anything and no dweebs getting in my way.
 
Squats - I was considering where to go on these tonight and settled for 200kgs which is going to be my opener in Melbourne. I decided 2 singles would be a good place to be. Between 160, 180 and 200's I slowed up and took a couple minutes break to try and be a bit fresher. I watched the clock when I started and finished all of my squats in about 17 minutes. I had a good sweat going by the time I was finished and ready to move on.

Bench Press - The one draw back to no one else in the gym is there is no one to spot the bench. Benching in the power rack is nice and safe but the catches are either too high or too low. It takes almost half a rep to unrack the bar. I opted for more volume at a higher weight and 110kgs was about where it was comfortable in the rack I did an ugly rep at 120kgs but he set up was not good to do more.

Deadlifts - I thought I would stick with higher reps and go up. I did the 60 and 100kgs off of two plates and 120kgs off of one plate. The reps fatigued my quite a bit and when I went for 160kgs my hips and back were screaming. I won't be deadlifting again until competition time.

Next week I will keep Volume and Light day as usual but intensity day will be similar with the exception of deadlifts.

Also thanks to all you guys who keep checking in on me. I have been really slack on checking in and my brothers. So cheers and after this competition I'll try and be more on to supporting my brothers and sisters.
