How come theres no real change from DE Bench from the last session? Some strange Shirtlifting tactic?

Basically because the emphasis is on speed, and since I didn't feel particularly good I felt like any more weight would have slowed the bar down and made the session less productive.

I feel good today, I'll go for a 170 kg deadlift. Is that a better attitude?

You doing them pistol style? or some other way? Also, how deep? Looks tough!
Nice looking workout, some good pulling.

Rear leg on bench, I get to about parallel as depth is limited by hip flexor flexibility in the rear leg (I think). Basically I go as low as I can on this exercise and front squats, which is lower on fronts.
I can barely do a BW pistol, haven't tried for a while. I used to do sets of 5 with 5 kg (which makes it easier), I think I will start them again some time, but for now my schedule is a bit full.

I might be off, but that sounds like a bulgarian split squat?

It might be, I'll look it up.
A Bulgarian split squat on Youtube seems to be done with dumbbells, I do it with the bar on my back in the high bar position. I don't know if this makes any difference.

It would seem so. You'll be Gareth 83's best mate soon and only training 5 sets once a week washed done 50 pints of lager whilst preaching the virtues of a high fat / low carb diet.
The future is bright..

Possibly, I am sorer than usual. I'll take next week's DE days a bit lighter than I did this week, which should give me time to refuel and keep hitting PRs on ME days.
But Cleaver... I actually train... at the gym... with weights. Doesn't that disqualify me from the ultra cool MP crew?

Once NU and fat ghey boy posse get a grip of you it will be all over. They'll make you relaise all this training is a waste of time when you have a good sincere high fat diet.
