Top single of 160kg followed by back off sets of 150kg. Both moved exactly how I wanted them to, as you can tell at the end of the second clip I was quite pleased 😂 both at an rpe of 7. Also thanks to for being pure sound and helping my back be less s**t, especially with the comp in two weeks!

☡Long wordy progress post☡
Pictures are a collage of a standard part of my Tues & Thurs morning Snapchats called "Where's Rob?"
My clients often ask what are the best exercises to do for fitness and I usually start off by telling them a squat, bench & deadlift strength based approach to training has helped me with my goals and then advise them to talk to one of the coaches at CityGym Limerick. Coaching/Training is their field of scope & often fitness goals will vary from client to client. For me the last few years (and in particular the last few months) have been about becoming a functioning human being.
Getting back to a routine was the first challenge - thankfully Rob Moloney was there to help with this, every Tuesday & Thursday mornings for PT and then providing a programme for a Sunday session. The next hurdle was trying to ingrain a good technique across the squat, bench & deadlift. And now we are on the road to further progress. A few months back we did our first max test, and this week we did a surprise second max test - (by that I mean Rob didnt tell me it was happening this week).
Happy to report squat is up 7.5kg, bench is up 7.5kg and deadlift is up 10kg.
What does this translate to for me? I feel stronger, I have had no negative impacts from previous injuries, I can see the progress I have made towards training both physically & mentally. Don't get me wrong, there was crap days training & some days where I didn't or couldn't train, but seeing the increases in those 3 lifts this week has got me looking forward to the next training block. It's almost as if there is something to this consistent training thing 😂
