Deload week
As much as I try and shy away from a deload, I’m also well aware of the benefits so took a well overdue one!
Press 30kg x5, 37.5kg x5, 45kg x5
Pull-ups – 50 total throughout session
Bicep curls 20kg x5, 25kg x5, 30kg x5
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts 45kg x5, 55kg x5, 65kg x5
Deadlift 67.5kg x5, 85kg x5, 102.5kg x5
Actually felt good to just work through the movements without maxing out – followed up with some shoulder prehab of 3×10 prone scarecrows with 4kg DB’s and some ab work.

Slight alteration to yesterdays layout – I’m going to do Seated Press and Sumo Deadlifts for now and return to the conventional lifts once I’ve lessened my Hyperlordosis (hopefully!).
Seated Press 43.5kg x5, 50kg x5, 57.5kg x9+2+1
Sumo Deadlift 107.5kg x5, 125kg x5, 140kg x7 – followed up with 107.5kg x10. Form a bit ugly on the heavier sets so going to drop the weight and focus on technique.
Pull-ups x10+3+2
Bicep Curls 22.5kg x5, 27.5kg x12+5+5
Stiff-Legged Deadlifts 75kg x5, 90kg x12
