Not a bad session. Wanted heavier squat nut felt tired today after manic 2 weeks working.
Have a bit of inflammation behind the patella so was painful coming to depth on squat, decided leave it at 150 for the day.

Pissed off i missed 125 on the bench, just couldn't lock out.

Deadlifting good.

Definitely time for a rest and re group. No training next week and will start back lighter when back from holiday.

495.0 kgs @ 75kgs UnEq		Have been training but not powerlifting.

Knee injury just about recovered now but got pissed off carrying injuries for most of the year.

Deadlifted yesterday first time in 8 weeks.

Worked up to
150x5
160x3
170x2 all easy enough. Pretty bloody pleased with that.

Much of my training has been kettlebell sport based, mainly jerks with a pair of 20's.
Best rep total so far 47 reps in 4 min 30

Also been doing some light over head squats 50kg x 3 current best but gaining all the time.

Have back squatted too only up to 100kg for sets of 10.

Enjoying training without constantly chasing numbers
