Monday 

Max squat at Doherty's
Raw warmups to a triple on 100
suit on for a 110 triple, 120 double, 130 single
140 fail - went down but not back up - overthinking the process.
140 but shallow - loss of confidence
140 clean.

walkouts and shallow pin press @ 160 3x3
Good mornings 40/5 60/5 70/5 80/5 90/3

Wed - rest

Thursday 
Max Deadlift  - Stinking hot!
warm up raw to 120 sumo
belt on for 140
suit on for 150x2, 160x1 170x1 180x1 180xdropped it 180x1  (see video)



Friday - rest - massage.

Saturday
Max Bench at Apollo
worked up o 70 raw - attempted 80 but failed.
Black shirt: 100 worked down from 3 board, 2 board, 1 board
Next rep was touch and go and too low to be legal in IPF but I got it up,
2nd attempt  was better bar placement
3rd attempt was a struggle to lockout - not sure how much Martyn helped on that one......

3 board 120x3
4 board 140x3
Lockouts definately not as strong this week.

Little black shirt is fitting better - no numbness, no pins and needles, no pain - per say, except for that of the actual press  :-)

I'm actually enjoying benching a little more now that I feel I am lifting an acceptable weight.  100kg @ 67.5kg bodyweight is respectable.  :-)

On pager today - last day of a very long week of P1...  Tomorrow is my eldest brother's birthday - 60!!   Actually it was last week but we're having a lunch tomorrow at my sister's.  Thank God I'm the baby of the family.  Sheesh, they're all getting old... not me  !!

VERY IMPRESSIVE!
I wish more people, whether they're interested in physique, figure or PL, applied some of the work you just described. What a week! :)
