Im sure you had 3x3 at 85 then 3x3 at90. Ps i think the actual weight was 90.9kg
85.5kg to 90.25kg.
then goes to 95kg 2x2.
if i didnt experience some drop off it mightbe possible. But i played this workout to rule. I reckon ill go for 3s next week, then see if i can finish it.

w1 - 5 x 4 @ 80% for day 1 / 5 x 2 @ 80% for day 2
w2 - 5 x 5 @ 80 / 5 x 2
w3 - 5 x 6 / 5 x 2
w4 - 2 x 2 @ 90% / 5 x 2 @ 82%
w5 - 3 x 3 / 5 x 2
w6 - 3 x 3 @ 95% / 5 x 2
w7 - 3 x 2 @ 100% / 2 x 5
w8 - 3 x 2 @ 105% / 5 x 2
w9 - 2 x 1 @ 95% / 1 x 105-110-115%
so did you just do the 2 x 2 week or did you already do that then went for the 3 x 3 week and only did 2 x 2?

Week 6 was impossible. Settled dor 5x2

hopefully it won't kill the progression - it shouldn't i don't think
Am i the only one that goes to the gym really set out to achieve a goal and panic about failing. Is happening a lot with bench and i worry im going to fail badly.
I narrowed my grip and im feeling so much better now. No sore arms or shoulders atm

you're gonna fail from time to time but if you make a long term plan and stick with it 100% then you just about can't fail and just remember any increase is an increase...it's when you set a goal for x amount of kgs in x amount of time you'll get in trouble because you'll never know how you'll respond to the program + outside factors...you've also got to know what a pretty good result is, like a 10% improvement in anything is excellent in any time frame so a 5% improvement (a standard improvement rate in any 8 - 12 week program) is still very good
I mean mentally. I feel so anxious to hit the weight that i worry about having to drop the weight if i fail.

Honestly, it will be near on impossible to improve your lifts while cutting. I went through a three month phase where i was dropping body fat on purpose, and all my lifts dropped. Natural body builders and physique guys will tell you the same thing. Hell even drug enhanced body builders will say the same thing but obviously not as severe as natural athletes.

Definitely, getting down from 23% to 15% should be pretty easy, a little bit more effort from 15% to 12% and then heading towards sub 10% is the fun part

Yeah I think that's pretty unlikely (for me at least!) regarding DEXA results. My understanding is they're the highest reporting method of testing, but I'm to excited to try.
It's also (and likely completely false) a good way to think how much I could pullup. Surely dropping 10kgs should mean I can now do an additional 10 right?
i swear these fitness ads here are *ed. im on my mobile so no block but is anyone dumb enouh to listen to their s**t. "meet the people putting the fitness industry out of business"
Assume you're not on android then? Because you can install adblock.

What about good ol tapatalk?
I know, just too lazy. At uni i have to install it every time but worth it on youtube
Cut cardio out of my program and start taking 14g of creatine per day as of Monday because I felt my strength gains were stagnating, already paying dividends.
Even though I hate the water weight I'm holding aesthetically speaking I really want to stick it out until the end of November to see how much strength I can stack on, not looking to bulk so will be trying to hit calorie maintenance for the most part.
