Friday
Early to gym, (and my buddy was still already there ha ha). Possibly heaviest by volume with the working weight bench session ever. Slightly off at the end possibly as a result of chatting with a competing bodybuilder.
Close Grip Bench Press
to 175kg/385lbs x 3 x 3 reps (slightly out of the groove on rep 3 set 3). My backside was just about still touching the bench on sets 2 and 3.
s/s
Iso Lever Mid Rows
to 140kg/308lbs x 5 reps
MiraFit 60mm Handle

LH: 82.5kg x 3, 2 and F reps (see too much chatting here as I was also up against the clock at this point)

He came, he saw, he kicked ass! I did all I needed to to prep for the Hatfield Squat. That included a double Ristretto before and another gratis gym coffee on arrival. My go to music playing as I walked to the gym and a little (2x) stretching Sunday.
Hatfield Squat
Bar x 8 reps, 140kg x 8 reps, 230kg x 6 reps (*support belt only), 350kg/770lbs x 1 (PB), 360kg/792lbs x 1 (PB) and
370-kg/814lbs x 1 (PB) rep. All heavy sets with the super duper new belt and Inzer red/black knee wraps (had a harder set of Cerberus Extreme wraps but didn't use them with me). To ensure no issues I was using a set of thin collars and hammered them tight. The only issues was worrying about the bar bending and it was harder to unrack than squat. I nearly went to 380kg/836lbs but called it a day. Little bit dizzy after.
Leg Press
Decided to forgo this
Lying Leg Curls
to 16p x 5 reps
Leg Extensions
to stack x 12 reps
Bwt: 320lbs

It was meant to a Power Squat machine day but I changed the program just cos. Off to Powerhouse Gym with 380kg on the Hatfield Squat in mind.
Hatfield Squat
Faffed about finding the right position for the bench I squat too (might swap it for a flat bench when I'm at Powerhouse )
bar x 8 reps, 140kg/308lbs x 8 reps, 250kg/550lbs with the support belt on x 6 reps (PB), 300kg/660lbs with support belt, power belt and knee wraps on x 1 rep. Then 380kg x 1 rep (belt etc on). Bit high.
Leg Press
No pad. 200kg/440lbs x 8 rteps, 400kg/880lbs x 8 reps (felt hard on the hamstrings but fine on next set with wraps on), 600kg/1320lbs x 8 reps
Seated Leg Curls
to stack (120kg/264lbs) + stacker plate x 12 reps
Leg Extension
faffed about a long time between sets so top weight felt hard
to stack x 12 reps
