Week 8, Day 4
Warmups
Bench: warmups, 180x1, 200x1, 215x1, 205x2, 210x2
Bunch of cooldowns

Notes
Last day.  Done at The Platform gym in town, with Eleiko bar, plates and on a comp spec bench.  Felt solid, but took most of the warmups to get on terms with the bar/plate combo.  180 was stupid fast, 200 was comfortable and 215 was solid.  205 was easy for a double and the yolo 210 was a bit slopping but shit... 210 is 210.

Week 8, Day 2
Warmups
Bench: warmups, 195x3x3
Deadlifts: warmups, 220x1, 242.5x1

Notes
Weeee, sucky.  Day was ok considering lack of sleep, gut feeling a little off.  Deadlifts sucked, but just shows morning performance, especially low key mornings are not quite the same as evening hype.  Two more days then rest.  Also practice water cut this week.  Should have done it last week but shit happens, will know how this impacts the performance really.

Squat: warmups, 205x1, 220x1, 210x2, 215x2
Paused pin press: warmups, 160x5x3

Notes
Weeee.  Chest/shoulders felt ok yesterday, but pretty fatigued this morning.  Chugged through the work tho.  Squats felt rough, but got through to 220 for the first time in a couple of years.  Then 215 for a double, which is best for ages.  Kept the pin presses pretty light today.

Bench: warmups, 210x1, 202.5x2x2, 205x2
Pulldowns: eh
Paused pin press: warmups, 195x3, 200x2 doh

Notes
Good day, well the important lift.  Practicing my water drop for the competition, as I am fat.  So rehydrated after weighing in and then lifted.  210 was solid, real happy with that, and the doubles were good until I touched the rack with the second rep of 205, had a lean on.

Was over everything by the pin press, was too unco under the bar so just called it.

Week 7, Day 2
Warmups
Bench: warmups, 192.5x4x2

Notes
Quick session, missed the deadlifts but will do them tonight.  Youtube terminated my youtube account so was dealing with the feedback process and being distracted.  Very upset little boy is devastated that he has lost all of his videos, likes and views.  Happy with the distracted Wednedsays at 192.5, not easy, but ok.

Garbage day.  About 3-4 hours of sleep, followed by laying awake half the night.  Still got the work done but just a little slower than I prefer.  Still, on a bad day was benching pretty solidly.

Week 6, Day 1
Warmups
Bench: warmups, 170x5x2
Squats: warmups, 190x3, 195x3, 200x3
Paused pin press: warmups, 170x5, 177.5x3

Notes
Deload.  Felt good.  Shoulders feeling it (Mr Crabs) but nowhere near that pain of last block.  But cut back my sets even more this week than planned.  Way lower total weight volume.  But goal is to bring up the weight and not screw my shoulders :D   Squats felt great.
