@mn5 @Paekakboyz yeah my grip is further out than closer in. Have a dodgey left shoulder that needs heaps of rehab over the next 12 weeks to try and get it closer to my other one. If I don't I won't improve much at all.
My quick ish drop on squats resulted me being on knees but survived thankfully (never failed on a squat before). The quick drop was to quick probably just scared being under that weight.
This next 12 weeks aim is get real on point with food intake. Try and increase stregnth but drop body weight from 111 to 100 or there abouts. Mainly just being strict as ive been slack as fuck.
Think I should be able to keep increasing 20kg in squats and if I improve my shoulder should be able to in bench as well as still think theres lot of improvement.
Deadlifts we shall find out where I sit this week.

Did deadlifts and strict press .
Got 210kg up from 170. Failed on 220. Pretty stoked but 220would have meant 500kg club.
Strict press was 80 up from 75 (thought it was 70 but was wrong). Back was cramping with 85kg attempt after the deads. Couldnt go in tomorrow or Saturday so had to do it tonight.
Good 12 weeks but next 12s gonna be hard!

Just planned out the next 12 weeks:
Got specific exercises for rehab of old niggles in my shoulder and leg. They are holding me back as my right side is >>>> than my left.
Got some extras im going to do away from the gym for my squat and deadlift and grip strength.
Going to use myfitnesspal to keep me honest with my food intake and get the diet dialled in.
Aim after 12 weeks:
210kg deadlift to 235
120kg bench to 135
Squat 160 to 190
Retest my strict press when fresh try and get to 90kg end of program.
Had 75kg increase this 12 weeks across my big 3 aiming for 70 this next 12 with a 8-10kg weight drop which actually shouldn't be that hard if I show even a little discipline on the diet. -

@mn5 Thanks mate. Yeah some of the weight should just drop off as my diet was pretty sloppy so will still be eating just not eating bullshit all the time. Starting the first two weeks with just eating minimal shit on the weekends and improving during the week this week. First 2-3 weeks some weight will likely just drop off with better diet and higher volume. Here's hoping.
Still think I have some strength gains from just conditioning as well as this is only my 2nd 12 weeks and near the end I still wanted to do more volume but was low sets and reps by then.
Be interesting to see how it goes. If I can even have slight improvements and have a better BF% that would be great. Was 22% @113 at the start of the last block. Haven't had another dexa yet will wait until end of this and see how it all changes.

Been kind of MIA but not really.
First week after testing was lots of light or body weight stuff to get bodies use to volume again. Second week was just 3x12 at about 50% of new 1rm to get use to load again.This has been week 1 of 12 now.
Back is just a combo of back exercises which I did (pulls ups/rows and some shoulder presses)
Did chest today 4x10 @65%
3xmax tricep pressups
DB slight incline 4x10 @35kg DB's
Some core
Single leg glute bridge
