exactly where i want to be give or take

Im 10 days out from my weigh in in Limerick. I better book my hotel now...

Currently 77 kg and will get down to 75.

Two traumatic days were endured after Paddys day. I got so fucking drunk, I thought I had gone deaf.

Hit up some Dynamic effort Lower body tonight
-Work up to 140kg x3 fast
-not arsed to hit 160+
-6 sets of 3 jumping squats with 100 kg nice and fast.
-Very fast deadlift doubles with 120 kg....like konstantin Konstantinov, trying to jump in the air.
- Leg press 5 x 8

Volume has and will stay down for the next week. I have some work to do tomorrow and hope i make the gym regardless. If I dont, the next day Ill train will involve the bench press.

- Work up to single with pause.
- Incline Press 5 x 8
-Planch push ups 5 x 2
-Tricep pushdowns.

Deadlift BTns

Last night I put in a poor performance on the deadlift....again only working up to 200 with 190 for a semi fast double

Today i missed 100 kg on BTNS but did some sets with 90 and 80 which is fine.

Shitty enough nights training

Brutal Szechaun there. Im so fucking tired and weak after that deadlift session a few days ago lol. Yesterday I hit some marathon rep stuff, i.e 10 rep sets (cardio to me) on the steel log and chins etc.

Wanted to work up to a nice squat double today. Instead I was so fucking immobile that I had to stretch like crazy before i could even squat 100! Worked up to 160 for 2 but it was hard. I needed ammonia just to wake the fuck up.
Whatever...I still tried to go as dynamic as possible close stance with 100 kg to the floor. I even had to make a bit of noise for the effort.

Tried to do some lunges but I wouldnt stop cramping up. Tomorrow should be a better day.

Progress + 3 weeks out

Ive been training pretty hard since my last post and am getting up past 180 kg on the squat regularly. I hit 190 kg to the low box after almost falling over warming up with 120 kg a few days ago!
I did some partials working up to 200 the other night, well, 10 sets of 2-3. These were supersetted with bench. I have become quite weak at behind the neck pressing and benching since my wrist injury. I can only get 100 kg for 3 now and 105 kg is my max. 

Pin presses should get my strength up so Ill do these along with full ROM bench once a week. I havnt trained the deadlift, nor do i plan to really bar one max effort session next week.

As long as I get a 200 kg squat to depth Ill be happy. Im weighing 77/78 kg most days so ill keep my eye on the diet over the coming weeks. Its a 24 hour weigh in so ill be grand.
