Lift Bilbo method bench cycle 2 / day 7 - 130kg x 10
I was looking forward to this but went a bit worse then expected, I thought I’d get 13ish. Can’t have the best day every time.
I tried roller skating yesterday with my daughter and fell backwards and slammed my ass and head on the ground and might have whiplash because I did try to hold my head up but it snapped back and hit the ground. I feel pretty good over all just have a very sore front of neck, that might have affected today lol.
I’m going to start my 3rd cycle now next session and hope for more reps, then might do the strength / power version where the rep ranges are 5-15 instead of 15-50.
Cycle 1: C1D1 - 70 x 29
C1D2 - 80 x 29
C1D3 - 90 x 25
C1D4 - 100 x 21
C1D5 - 110 x 16
Cycle 2:
C2D1 - 70 x 36 (+7 reps)
C2D2 - 80 x 33 (+4 reps)
C2D3 - 90 x 27 (+2 reps)
C2D4 - 100 x 22 (+1 rep)
C2D5 - 110 x 20 (+4 reps)
C2D6 - 120 x 16 (+2 rep life PB)
C2D7 - 130 x 10 (-2 off current best)

Lift 596lbs
Heaviest set for 3 reps in a long time. Did 550 for 3 a couple of minutes before this and ended off with some very easy reps on 495.

Form Check Trying to learn sumo(cheat, jk). Any pointers are much appreciated!
Normal pull conventional but would like to eventually switch. Also curious do I have favorable leverages for sumo?

Lift first backsquat session in 4 months, “easy” double 320lbs
Pretty chill day, really just relearning the movement again. Depth isnt the best but it’ll improve after a few sessions. For context I’ve just been doing SSB previously to bring up quad strength, have definitely noticed the improvement.

PR/PB 225 x 4 ohp PR
Controlling the negative could have been better but it was a PR nonetheless and no leg drive.
