Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Volume Bench Bar for 10 x 3 sets 40 for 6 50 for 4 60 for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Finish It's not just that you go up from 10 to 11, but you have to do the 10 again after you've done the 11. But strangely, felt easier than last time. See what a 12 does to me next week!

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Deadlift 60 for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Finish Second session back. Knee hurt less, 13 extra reps but overall felt easier than last week - and they were effectively deficit deadlifts because I wore my work boots with thick soles. Still pathetic, but it's a start, and it will get better.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Didn't train Tuesday because of lambing, and Wednesday because I had an afternoon engagement, so Thursday it is. Bench Bar for 10 x 3 sets 50 for 4 60 for 2 70 for 1 80 for 1 90 for 1 95 for 1 80 for 4 80 for 6 - gosh 70 for 10 - wow 70 for 10 - good grief! Finish. The plan was 92.5 single, 4s with 80, 6s with 70 and 8s with 60. Pleasantly surprised, less weak than expected. More optimistic for future sessions than I was a couple of hours ago.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Volume Bench (supposedly) Bar for 10 x 3 sets 40 for 6 50 for 4 60 for 2 70 for 1 80 for 1 90 for 1 100 for 1 60 for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Finish Very pleased. Back to 100 far sooner than expected, took the pyramid up to 12, which meant 23 more reps than last week, and had the energy to train for two hours, which is an unusual thing for me. Next week the weight goes up to 65 and the top of the pyramid goes back to 10 - or maybe eleven if 10 isn't a real challenge. The down sets of the pyramid were really tough as pre exhaustion kicked in, but it's definitely bringing me on.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Deadlift 60 for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Finish Shattered, but still early days after a long time away and a worsening of my right leg condition. 15 more reps than last week, and felt every one of them.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Bench Bar for 10 x 3 sets 40 for 6 50 for 4 60 for 2 70 for 1 80 for 1 90 for 1 100 for 1 - easier than last time 90 for 2 90 for 3 80 for 4 80 for 5 70 for 6 70 for 8 Finish Another good workout. Should have trained at 3, but fell asleep. Should have trained at 5, but spent an hour in the gardens with the dogs and the sheep. Eventually started 6.15. Got the reds out for the first time this year. Definitely felt heavier, but probably just a trick of the mind as the 100 was actually easier than on Saturday. First time this year I've repped with 90, which is good, because I couldn't do a single with it a few short weeks ago. Right forearm hurt throughout, need to remember to get back on the anti inflammatories before I train.

Old Age Presser Member 75, 7745 posts SQ 0, BP 200, DL 200 400.0 kgs @ 105kgs Eq	Arm Curls It's many moons since I last did arm curls, so nothing too heavy to ease myself back in. Pyramid sets with 12.5 dumbbells 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 - double arm 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - single arm Far easier than I expected, which is far better than the alternative. Trained in the garden, hopefully out of sight of passing eyes.

Managed to sneak the comeback number up to 102.5, then loaded the bar for volume work, but just knew in my gut it wasn't there. Disappointing, it's the volume that's making me stronger, but it is what it is. Edit: seems the problem is my Ramipril dose was increased from 5mg to 10mg on Thursday and left me feeling like a zombie the last three days. At least I know why, might try volume tomorrow if I feel better. If...

Still not feeling right, a weird combination of hunger, lack of appetite and fatigue. No energy all week. Still, finished recording my album on Monday, so a good week nonetheless. Bench Bar for 10 x 3 sets 40 for 6 50 for 4 60 for 2 70 for 1 80 for 1 90 for 1 100 for 1 105 for 1, comeback PB Finish No energy for down sets, but feel the better for training. PS, down from 97bw to 93.5 in the last week.
