@Paekakboyz yeah was harder than I thought it would be particularly that 5th set. Good though as felt the last couple weeks were a bit easy. Good shock to the body. Reckon I will feel it tomorrow.

Yeah speaking more from a bodyweight perspective these days ( but at about 100kg that's a fair amount of bodyweight ) splitting sets/timing and shocking the body can defintely get the DOMS flaring.......

@MN5
Yeah 100% agree. We do 2 chest sessions a week to give us 4 sessions total a week (others are deads and squats at different ends of the week).The second session on a thursday is generally a lot lighter with either max pressups or some other DB bench work to go with the main sets. I have been basically supersetting them with some other exercise and pumping them out otherwise it is all a bit easy. I know I could up the weight but try to stick to the program as much as I can otherwise you have a week when you are just smashed.
This is week 7 of 16 (usually we do 12). its a 3 week heavy one week lower volume (not load). So basically a working deload week. Its been good.
First 3 weeks where lots of pauses, slow lowers and then some sets of 10's. Deload week then has been sets of 9's/8's and this week is sets of 7's all with weight slowly going up.
Deload next week then 6/5/4's deload then 3/2/1 rest then test.
Bodys actually feeling pretty good going into this deload week. Thinking the next 3 weeks im going to do a saturday leg session to do 2x squat sessions a week as its my weakest lift and I don't have basketball this month on the weekend so can afford to.

Sucker for punishment today.
Said to the misses I will do some running training with her while we have 5 weeks off Sunday Basketball. its all short distrance stuff building a base with new running style so have done a couple of sessions so far so good.

Was meant to do nordic eccentrics 3x5 but have too much on today would be even more wreck.Then we went and did running training
4x30 seconds at 196 steps a minute (on grass) 1 min rest between each set so basically just walking back
1x2 minutes at 184 steps a minute
2 minute rest
Repeat aboveThen in barefeet on grass
