New log for the new year ... Friday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 3,3 - 160kg. Deads; 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 1 - 230kg, 4,4,4 - 240kg. Sumo; 5,5 - 190kg. Saturday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 4,4 - 160kg. Rows; 8,8 - 100kg OHP; 8,8 - 60kg Sunday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 4,4 - 160kg. Big interstate move for new job. Longer hours once travel is factored in, but it's a case of double the pay for less work and better conditions and prospects. Frikkin' awesome. Subsequently, it means some changes to my training; more reps per set (allowing same/more per session volume in a similar amount of time spent training), less deadlift sessions and daily squats will focus on improving 3 and 4 RM's rather than scaling singles (more sets = more breaks between = more time spent = how the f**k do I fit it in). 6-9 reps per day at around my 3-5RM is basically likely extending the 5 forever, and is going to give me a decent amount of work and volume at a relevant load, for maybe 30mins per day on squats. Keeping it simple with two deadlift sessions per week and doing rows and OHP as accessories, 2-3x per week on other days. RDLs will factor in there somewhere too. Also, turns out my sumo leverages are pretty great, so am playing around with that a lot and likely a 50-50 split of time spent.
Monday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 4,4 - 160kg. Sumo 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 3 - 220kg, 5,5 - 200kg. Deads; 3 - 200kg, 3,3 - 240kg.
Tuesday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 3,3 - 165kg. Deads; 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 1 - 230kg, 4,4 - 240kg. This took an hour, a bit earlier than I normally train. Realistically I can probably mimic that time period 3-4 times per week, get in one super-long weekend session (max testing or high volume) and I should be right.
Wednesday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 4,4 - 165kg. Deads; 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 1 - 230kg, 4,4 - 240kg. Easy.
Sumos and Deads in the same session.... Educate me, Jester; how do you still have vertebrae in your lumbar spine? I'd think they would shrivel up and turn into powder with that much punishment. Major congrats on the promotion! I hope it goes well!
Cheers, mate. It's actually a new job in my old home town, same deal but different company. Paying twice as much doesn't suck! Sumo does nothing on/to/for my spine, to be honest. Almost certainly a function of leverages and hip socket.
Thursday; HBBS; 5 - 60kg, 5 - 100kg, 1 - 140kg, 1 - 155kg, 3,3 - 170kg volume PR, rep PR. Deads; 3 - 150kg, 3 - 190kg, 3 - 210kg, 1 - 230kg, 3,3 - 250kg.

Cheers, mate. Back in my home state, new job, new baby ... maxes are down 15% ... FPDL; 5-100kg, 5-150kg, 5,5,5-190kg. Paused Front Squat; 5-60kg, 3,3,3,3-100kg. Hyper; 10,8 - 10kg RDL; 6,6,6-170kg
Congrats on the baby, that's always a good way to destroy your maxes. How's the sleep? I'm always jealous of those lucky parents who's children start sleeping through the night early on.
Exactly. Now don't make the same mistake I did and have two back-to-back. Three years without decent sleep isn't fun.
