Wed 26th

A. Squat 3 x 3 - 140,145kg,140kg

B1. Chins 3 x 10
B2. Facepulls 3 x 12

C1. GHR 2 x 6
C2. Ab Wheel 2 x 6

D. Incline Curls 2 x 10 15kgs

* squatting with Dar, to be honest teh first rep of 140 felt tough and I would have bailed if he wasn't there, he got 2 with 145, so naturally I had to do 3 - the power of the mind!

Sat 22nd - double bodyweight squat

Sat 22nd

Squat 160 80.5 on gym scales with clothes on, so double bodyweight with no spotter!

(warmed up with 140 - felt heavy, 150) - happy to do this with no spotter. Still to slow on the way down but will work on it

Had MRI on my wrist today


18th (ish) 

Squat 140kg 3 x 3


*back has been feeling ok. Wrist is bad though, so no pressing movements. I have been doing some heavy singles in the squat recently and then doing 'volume' days with 3 rep sets. Also experimenting with going about 65% and trying speed out of the pocket, I will probably aim ot increase this % over the coming weeks.

Wed 4th Dec

Trained with Dar in SDSC

A. Split Squat 3 x 6/6; 15kg, 17.5kg, 17.5kg - actually felt my right knee act up a little, it has been ok the past week or so, so I'll have to keep an eye on it and maybe start lighter on the lower body work next time

Energy levels are low - sleep and food has been TERRIBLE! Im not reading into it much at the minute, I'll try and get back into things for December

Tue 26th

AM - coached in Andys for about 1.5 hours

PM - did 1 hour of bjj at 9 with Steph and Ross in SDSC


Mon 25th

Didnt train - I was exhausted today for some reason. I think the build up to Stephs MMA fight was more draining than I was allowing for!
