The 1st of 2 test weeks for the big guy -
Tuesday we tested his 3RM bench press with an impressive 97kg PBβ¦β¦..even with being set up slightly wrong and almost taking the rack with him π€£
(That was my fault π€¦ββοΈ)
We also tested his 3RM back squat and matched his 120kg PB πͺ
Thursday we tested his 3RM trapbar deadlift- 185kg which is a 10kg PB πππ
Testing another couple of big lifts next week but so far weβre on a bit of a roll ππͺ

Sunday service β
1km easy pace (around 5.15-5.20)
1km harder pace (tried to keep them below 4mins per km)
X 5 rounds
2km easy pace to finish
No rest
Another 12km in the legs β
Not setting the world alight but always pushing for a bit more in ma auld age π
That felt pretty decent in the wind and rain and finishes a decent week of training, not amazing but not sh*te, decent π
