Definitely been a while

So it has definitely been a while since I posted anything on my blog. Well I just completed my first term in Uni, so now I’m on vacation. That clearly means that I could keep my blog up and running. On the other hand, I think I need to get the blog updated frequently even during academic week.

Skip the talk. How is training? Training has been pretty good. I have been training with Pete. As far as I am concerned both my Squats and Deadlifts are years ahead of my Bench Press. I have increased my squat to 190kg for a double and a 200kg deadlift for a single but unfortunately my Bench Press hasn’t been improving at all. However, I’m not going to put myself off on benching but on the other hand, I’d rather look at it as a tricky situation that needs to be addressed accordingly.

So what do I need to work on to get my Bench Press up ?

- Accessory work
- Dips
- Triceps Work
- Back Work ( Rows in particular )
- Muscle Endurance
- Definitely more muscle so that means more food, higher bodyweight with a controlled amount of bf%

All these points work hand in hand to get a better setup, more strength not only in Bench Pressing but also Squats and Deadlifts. Pete reckons that I could get my Bench up to 115kg, Squats at 210-215, Deadlifts at 210 at least for all three lifts. I’m not telling myself that this is impossible but there is alot of work that needs to be done.

Being said that, I’m not going to spend my entire vacation devoting and busting my ass towards lifting heavier. I’ll be training technically like a bodybuilder, getting more muscle, endurance etc. Although I might just attempt a max for the sake of doing it, I’m looking at packing more mass as a priority towards the next 3-4 months of Summer Vacation.

Here are some videos of my recent lifts ( Deadlifts & Squats )

The 200kg looks abit slow in terms of lockout but I’m working on that. The first video was the most recent PR on reps that I made so hopefully the next time when I pull 200kg it wouldn’t look as tough as it was at first.

This is my most recent backsquat PR, 190kg for a double. I attempted 200 twice but failed. Hopefully when I return, I’d get a 200kg easy breezy with some decent muscle I hope to pack on.

This post may look a little abrupt but stay tuned as I’ll be committing myself to update my blog as frequent as I can.
