9 Days Straight...

Update....

Squatted and benched everyday for last 9 days, will continue this as long as I am able.

Ive moved my squat up around 10-15kg and bench up 5-10kg, while loosing over a kilo.

est. max, Sq ~= 170kg ; Bp ~= 127.5kg BW@96.8kg.

13/05/14 -    09     175@9; 150x2@7;160x2@8     120@7.5 wide;120x2@8 close grip    
                                         
I think my strongest grip for the bench is thumb width from start of knurling (~21"), rather than 32" but that might be because of tired pec insertions.

So far squat has increased to 185kg with no psych-up and at a bodyweight of 95.5kg
Relative strength increase from 1.75 x bodyweight to 1.94 x bodyweight. in less than two weeks.
Bench increased from 1.32 x bw to 1.4 x bw.

I need to pull back on the bench as I keep trying to go to 1@10 rpe, possibly work to ONLY 1@8, then use the press to build strength.
