Deadlift

Deadlift in adipower and chucks
Warmed up to 180kg in my adipower
200 * 1
220 * 1
230 * 1
Switched to chucks + belt 
220 * 1 * 4 
Form wise is much better with a belt

Speed pulls 
180 * 1 * 5 
These are done beltless and with chucks. Form is so much better. Guess the belt really teach me to keep tight.

Dan green benchpress C2 week 6

I really want to blame my injury on someone else but in the end it's still there. It's my own fault that I didn't communicate well with spotter. Blaming someone else won't take away the strain so I just gotta accept things as they are. Fact is the elbow hurts at the bottom on the position. It's either to continue with lower reps + increase weight as per normal or to take things easy for a while. But I can afford to take it easy? That's the question. 

Pause Benchpress
135 * 4/3/3 
These felt so hard. 

Tng bench 
135 * 3 (normal grip) 
100 * 16 (wide) 
130 * 3 * 5/ 130 * 2 (wide) 

Incline db press
30 * 20/20/25

Cable flyes 
8.25 * 20 * 4

Edit: widen the grip to pinky within the rings and felt good. Perhaps at this point of time benching wider might actually help me reach a new level. Shall see how on next Monday. Meanwhile I will have to be stricter with my setup.

Squat + deadlift

Squat 
115 * 5 * 5

Deadlift 
180 * 1 * 5

Only recording my top sets. Did my squats in SBD, felt warm but also easier. Also pulled in my adipower, felt faster than chucks so might try again.

Mentally drained by now. The high from deadlifting is gone.
