Intensity squats/volume bench/Deadlift LP It was a big night at the gym. Things went well and things should be looking good for testing in a couple of weeks...

 

 Squats - a standard warm up with bands on the knees up to 180kgs x1 and then a rest for a few minutes to get ready for my work set at 205kgs x3. I made all 3 reps but the weight was there tonight and I ended up making a little noise.. depth was pretty good but the middle one was just slightly high.


Bench Press - tonight was a lighter night with just one set on the bench. No problems with 105kgs x5

Sumo deadlifts - hookgrip -ht again tonight but no big issues. I am locking in a decent form on sumos but not to the point to make it my go to for competition yet...

Deadlifts - hookgip - heavier tonight but I think the sumos lend some fatigue and that affects the conventional. So I am not to worried that the reps weren't as fast as I might have wanted. Also after 9 sets my grip was still going strong.. I also wore my lever belt to deadlift and was able to be comfortable. I'm not sure if it is the tweaks to my form or the losing weight but it was good to have the extra support.
