Tuesday 11 February 2020
Squat: 5 x 110, 3 x 110, 5 x 100
Deadlift: 5 x 120
Pump circuit
3 rounds, with no rest, of 10 x EZCurls and 30s plank
Then, run one lap of the block in 3:02
I had to train in the afternoon because of an early work commitment. It is what it is.

Bench: 5 x 80, 5 x 80, 4 x 80
Press: 3 x 55, 4 x 50, 6 x 45
Pump circuit
3 rounds, with 30s rest of: 4 x pullups + 12 pushups
One of those days today. The rain has been bringing all the spiders inside so my pre-training dump was rudely interrupted by a BFH ('Big Fuckoff Huntsman'). I don't like spiders, especially ones that are bigger than my face.
I got out of the groove on my last rep on the Bench - it wasn't too heavy per se, it just got too low on my chest and my leverages went to shit.
I totally screwed up my press weights and got caught in no mans land (couldn't decide whether to go for sets of 3 across or drop the weight and do backoff sets so I went somewhere in between and got the worst of both worlds).
I only got 7 reps on my last round of the pump circuit.

Squat: 5 x 112.5, 5 x 112.5, 5 x 112.5
Deadlift: 5 x 115 with straps
I ran out of time for a pump circuit or running. Might try and make it up this afternoon. Or not.
Squats felt heavy. I might be dieting a bit too hard (I even went 3 of the last 9 days without beer or any other alcohol!).

Friday 21 February 2020
Light Squat: 5 x 115, 6 x 100, 6 x 100 (on 3 minute clock)
Heavy Deadlift: 5 x 127.5
Then run 3 laps of the block (c. 1600m) in 8:59.
I misloaded the deadlift (2.5kg plate on one side, 5kg on the other) but I didn't die, so whatever.

Heavy Bench: 5 x 82.5, 5 x 82.5, 5 x 75

Pump circuit
4 rounds, with 30s - 1m rest periods between rounds: 5 pullups, 12 pushups, 30s plank
I'm going to experiment with a heavy 2-5 reps on the Press before my AMRAP/volume/density reps to see what happens.

Heavy Press: 5 x 56, 5 x 50, 5 x 50
Light Bench: 6 x 60, 6 x 65, 6 x 70 on a 2 minute clock
Deliberate top set and backoffs on the Press today.
Might add a fourth set of bench next week, just to get some more volume in.
No pump circuit. Throat is on fire and I feel a cold coming on so not pushing it. Hope it's not coronavirus.

Bench: 6 x 60, 6 x 60, 6 x 60
Press: 6 x 42.5, 6 x 42.5, 6 x 42.5
OK, caught something and still getting over it. It's turned out to be quite mild, so I doubt it's anything more than a common cold, but being sick is never good for GainZ so I'm taking it easy.
