hey Leesh do you have flat feet and or "duck feet"?

flat feet:

I couldnt find a picture of duck feet in humans but its whenn you walk, your feet point outwards.

I have both, both are being fixed but I bring it up because there are issues with my squat from them, one issue i have is knees bending inwards like you are describing

I have no idea about my feet? I might go to athletes foot and get them to use that machine on my feet.

I did 100kg last session too! However last session I only did 1 of 90 and none of 80kg. It's the other sets that have jumped up

Shall I try 105kg next session?

I'd stick with where you are now until you can manage 2 or 3 reps of 100 :) Even if it means resting for like 10 seconds between reps, just don't let go of the bar. Either way, congratulations on 100kg Lessh! It's pretty damn awesome ;)

i agree with troy.

focus on getting 100kg to 5 reps then treat yourself to a milkshake (or something else that you enjoy) as a sneaky reward

As you get stronger the sets before your heavy will increase because you aren't as tired as you are when you build up to that 100kg dead. This has been the basis of Rev's argument with Bird's about the best way to get stronger and how volume before strength isnt as productive (i guess had a mind blank for the word i was looking for) as straight out strength training.

Nothing to be upset about its natural. I say have a longer rest between your heavy sets and push that extra rep out

Training tonight was a waste of a time. I'm so sore the day after deadlifts I can't do shoulder press at all and lat pulldown and seated row well below par. I really don't know how to do my days. If I do Thursdays session on Friday then I'm still going to have an issue doing squats on the Saturday. I can't train the day after deadlifts so I don't know how to do it :(

Here's a scenario.

1 warmup set of a poofteenth of nothing (dynamic stretch) then 2 sets of 95kg . big fat rest in-between sets . How long? Wait till your pulse returns to resting. Whatever reps you get. Should be in the 3-5s but go to failure. No max rep stuff every workout,

Up your weight in a week by 10kg - (try 105kg for 3-5 in the first set, if under 3 reps then go 100kg for second set) do the same thing. See what happens.

And so on. reps in the 3-5's , under 3 drop weight (no loss if you do 2 still will do the job) , over 5 up weight

eg; get to 6 reps and increase kg to drop to 3 reps.

No more 1rm till christmas. See if you can unwrap 140kg as a PB.

Re: Rev's post.

Leesh he's basically saying do a few low weight warmup reps then get right into the meat of it and start pushing the weight up rather than doing eleventy billion reps at weight you have mastered at the expense of being able to push your max anywhere because you've already wasted so much power earlier in the set.

I realise this goes against Bird's volume training methodology, but you're a big girl and if you want to try something new, go ahead and do it.

I mix it up from time to time and sometimes a change is as good as a holiday.
