Update...

I've just been ticking over with my training lately.

My back is feeling better (not 100%). Might try some dead lifts tomorrow.

Cautiously worked up from 60 to 250 today.

The 250 was slow but smooth, with no hitch.

Very pleased with that Happy

(Before one of my critics asks - yes I used straps. Get over it.)


Also tried some seated log press. ABORT ABORT ABORT. Nearly injured my shoulder. Not trying that again.

Thanks Andy. The part of my back that was giving me bother feels a bit tender now, but it's OK.

The log was way too cumbersome to press seated, and getting into position without anyone to assist was crazy. Nearly hurt myself, but not quite.

I appear to have slightly injured my left pec tendon. f**king bench Angry

I'm feeling a bit below par in training. I'm going away for a week on Friday, and I think the rest will do me a lot of good.

I've decided I need a change from heavy singles (even though they've served me well). The new rep number I've come up with is... 4. I wonder how long I'll be able to stick to it.

Perhaps it would have been a good idea to work your way up to the relatively heavy stuff over a period of weeks/months rather than jumping straight in to the heavy stuff?

Yeah, you're right there.

I just can't bear to do anything other that heavy!

My back is still giving me aggro, but lifting weights doesn't seem to aggravate it.

My left pec tendon is also injured, but I can press overhead. If/when I re-introduce bench press I'll start off light and build up slowly.
