I haven't written on this in so long, think its actually a month now. But after I took my week off I lost some strength and wasn't in much of a mood to write about it....which leads me to now. I have stopped doing heavy squats, well I use to do sets of 3 and I have put it up to 5 which is still heavy I suppose. I felt going so heavy on these was making progress a bit too hard, as squeezing an extra rep out was damn near impossible, but already it feels like my legs are getting stronger. This may also be helping my deadlift as I finally pulled that damn 170kg on friday, which I was happy about...but now i'm just looking for 180kg (with a goal for christmas of 200kg).
My bench still hasnt got back up to speed, im back on 105 x 3, but i'm more worried about legs for the minute. However my military press, which I tried on my 1st week back and couldn't get 3 x 60kg, is back up there and feeling strong with 65kg x 3. YAY! lol
I suppose another reason I haven't written is because I have started training at the gracie barra jiu jitsu club on tuesdays, which really limits my free time. I train 5 times a week now and when i'm not training i'm either sleeping, working or with mairead. Jiu jitsu by the way is absolutley amazing, even though I get my ass kicked every week I still feel great having learnt something.
Anyways, hopefully it won't be so long next time.
