Nice work. Lookin real strong.

Nice work Kane, good progress. Where do you want to end up with the GM's?

Thanks Guys. :D

Honestly I would be happy if they got into the 230 range. I guess it all depends on how I can progress, if I can keep going to 250+ then thats sweet. If I get stuck around 230 then I'll change it for another deadlift variant and come back to GM's later. I've been chasing a 405 deadlift for a while, so hopefully these will help with that as well. :)

In a nutshell, I want to go as heavy as they'll let me. :D

They should def help with your deadlift goal....Good stuff in here , bud !

Thanks TALO

178lbs

Cleans* 10 singles
155x1
165x1
165x1
165x1
165x1
165x1
165x1
165x1
165x1
165x1

Cleans were very tough. I didn't think I could get 165 for that many sets, but I managed to get them all cleanly. Big progress over the "8's" and "6's".

*I should have mentioned this earlier, its entirely my fault. I'm not actually doing proper Cleans, I'm doing Hang Power Cleans. The reason why I was writing Cleans is because that's what I write in my workout book. Sorry if this caused any confusion, I'll refer to them as Hang Power Cleans from now on (or at least try to :D).

Pullups
+10x7, +10x6, +10x5, +10x6

Got in an extra rep for the first and last set this week.

Arnold Press
45x8, 40x9x2

Dropped a rep and added 5lbs to the first set, kept the 2nd and 3rd the same as last week.

DB Curls
40x8x3

Decided to drop the Super 7s. The novelty/nostalgia has worn off :biglaugh:

Nice cleans.

I love doing singles. :)

How much rest do you take when your doing singles ?

Thanks Wolf, I love doing singles too.

It all depends on the exercise, but its usually 3-5 minutes. Maybe a bit more if I don't 'feel ready', I just did a really taxing set, or failed an attempt (failed during the movement, not off the start) . Rarely ever more than 6 or 7 minutes though. Ultimately though, I need what I need (in terms of rest). I use the clock on the wall as a guide, so its not as if I'm timing with a stopwatch. :D

Mainly I want to go into my next single with as much neural recovery as possible rather than just metabolic recovery.
