Friday
Bench Press
Half way through we had to jump in the gym owners car and zoom (at some speed lol) back home to fetch my elbow sleeves. Worked to a fail (although it looked like it DID touch the chest I just failed the press) using the F8/Triple Ply to 320kg/704lbs
Low Cable Rows
worked in with a younger member/
Stack x 8 reps, stack +80kg/186lbs and pin x 8 reps (eqv to 168kg/369.6lbs)
Thick Handled Dumbbell Work
LH (only): 65kg/143lbs x 3 x 3 reps Still not 100%

I'm winding this one up. 8 weeks total.
Minuses:
Body-weight barely changed. To be fair I did NOT push food hard. I may well have maxed out. The previous 336lbs top weight came after a cut so that might have had something to do with it. Also pushing from 1050 to 1600mg (just 2 weeks) was uncomfortable.
Pluses:
Maxing my Hatfield Squat. Up from 410kg/903lbs to 420kg/925lbs (10 plates a side)
Maxing my Seated Press. Up from 132.5kg/292lbs to 140kg/308lbs (3 plates a side)
One issue with strength is always gonna be... could I have done more. I kinda wished 1) I'd have gone an inch lower on the squat and 2) put 460kg/1014lbs on just to see if I could have done the grand... who knows
As per all such logs - it goes without saying that we ALL have great support here on these forums from approved sources. So I offer a BIG THANK YOU to @PSL and @pur-pharma-canada

this bulk was good like a pro
the squats are definitely hard
Wow, you are doing over 900 lbs like it's nothing. You are a true champion.
@Mobster awesome work right here! 10 plates on each side is crazy!
