Heavy Lifting Log
 

I am not new to logging my workouts on forums but many will find my lifting to be extreme, I do not want to intimidate anybody so I will not post my weights initially while I see how well I fit into this forum and work out how active the support is here (I am looking for a forum where I am not talking to myself most of the time)

My basic Stats

Age: 40
Weight: Fluctuating between 89 - 93 kg
Goals: Improve bodyfat %, drop to competition weight of just under 84 kg, Break Australian Masters Bench Press Record in competition, not just in the gym.

my training has lacked consistency, and as hard as I push myself I need more so next Wednesday I am sitting down with a friend/one of my coaches with the target being to break the bench record in 6-12 months time. Up until now it has felt like my head was not in the right place. It may also mean that I have to do a deload before pushing to build up again.
