Week 3 Day 3

Front Squat 5x3@85% 83kg
Incline Bench Press 5x3@85% 58kg
Weighted Chin Ups 5x3@85% BW+16kg

Good workout, happy with my FSQ depth...Incline was fast and WCU felt solid

Week 3 Day 3

Front Squat 5x2@90% 88kg
Incline Bench Press 5x2@90% 61kg
Weighted Chin Ups 5x2@90% BW+21kg

End of Week 3...another good workout, especially for FSQ, Incline Bench was quite smooth, WCU felt heavy but i manage to complete all the reps without great problems...

I am tempted to increase my max of 1kg for upper lifts and 2kg for FSQ for the next 3 weeks...but a wiser decision could be the one of repeating the same weights and force progression after other 3 weeks....i’ll take the week end to think about it

Week 1 Day 1 (2nd Block)

Front Squat 5x5@75% 75kg
Incline Bench Press 5x5@75% 52kg
Weighted Chin Ups 5x5@75% BW+6,5kg

Today is the beginning of my 2nd 3 weeks Block, i forced progression and micro load my upper body lifts with 1 kg and Front Squat with 2kg.

A little fear at the beginning of my workout, as every time i begin a new block and the volume increases...but today was a good workout especially for FSQ and IBP!

This template is the most solid training program i’ve ever run!
