Lower body felt nice and destroyed after session 2, even though I did not have a spotter and went with lower weight, still managed to get rekt nicely.

Session 3 and 4 went good, still working out the decline pullups hard , they have degraded the most but the rest is going up nicely.

Deadlift :

warmed up with 20s
10rp with 30s
10rp with 35s (198lbs total)
9rp 35s
9 rp 35s
10 rp 30s
Decline pullups went allright for 3 sets slow and controlled

next time will add the last plates I have to the deadlifts and keep it there with slow and controlled form till I improvise some more.

session 4: OHP

Bar warmup
bar with 5s x 10
bar with 5s x 12
bar with 10s x 7
bar with 12.5s x 6
bar with 7.5 x 9

Superset of upright rows with lat raises into 90deg lat raises into front plate raise to finish it up.

Feeling good and looking forward to next week.

When do you plan on starting to push the envelope and push your limits?
Feels like I am or maybe I just do not know how to do it. Added some more weight to the OHP and felt like my back can go to shyt. All your feedback is welcome.

Went at it again today, session 1

Benchpress

warmup with the bar
10rps with 10s
11 rps with 20s
8 rps with 25s
4 +1 assisted with 25s, went totally out of gas ( we will see how that goes next week)
10+ 1 rps with 20s

bar with 25s is total 70 kilograms, I am currently sitting around 80 kgs of bodyweight.

5+1 assisted +25s
9+1 with 20s

Dropset to finish it off

15s 5s bar

10 x 60 kg
6 x 70 kg
5 + 1 x 70 kg

Dropset to finish it off, 40 into 30 into bar 15 rp 15rp and 20 rp

Session 2: Took a day off and it was worth it

Squats:
10 x 32.5 kg
10 x 52.5 kg
5 x 67.5 kg
