While my bench is "ok" both my squat and deadlift are way off, there's progress but it's painfully slow. I had a leg massage for an hour yesterday, the lady doing it said we could have done another hour easily to get all the knots out.

Squat

Up to 150 x 3 - I could have ground some more reps out but decided to keep it as 3 decent ones rather than 3 decent and 2 hospital reps.

Front squat

80 x 8 - 3 sets with 5 reps of back squats immediately after racking - these were devastating

45 degree hypers with light bar

2 sets of 10

Just benching alternated with incline dumbbell rows this morning.

Bench 100 x 5
Rows 30 x 8

I did 8 or 9 rounds - couldn't think of anything else that would benefit me after that

Lighter squats yesterday - leg still bothering me.

This morning was a lovely heavy bench session

Bench

130 x 3
120 x 2 (3 sets)

All paused

Then dumbbell shoulder press for high reps, chin ups, arms and rear raises. Pleasing

Took Friday off, leg feeling progressively worse.

This morning did some squats - 90 x 3 felt horrible on the bad leg

Deads by contrast felt lovely

180 x 3 was straightforward.

Some accessory stuff after - nothing of note.

Physio session tonight where I'm hoping for miracles.

She wanted to give you a happy ending. Ask for extras next time.

Lowering the tone Yaman, excellent work - I will not be asking for extras.

Saw the physio, a largely built, direct man, I liked him.

He looked at my legs and diagnosed a massive shift in weight on the squat onto my stronger leg that is now objecting.

The middle of my thighs are 2 inches difference in size - this is to be rectified in the immediate future, so a token squat for the August competition might be in order.

In order to drive the point home the physio asked me to consider how much more weight 2 inches of muscle on my leg might give me - I shall find out.

Single leg press

40 x 10
60 x 8
80 x 5 x 5
40 x 15

These were stupidly difficult

Abductor machine, seated leg curls.

I think the plan is to do lots of single leg work to build the leg and maybe try a squat or two as I do this - I'm expecting bad things from my squat but this needs to be done.

Light squats were on the menu today - I was concerned that they would be very painful, they were not.

Just 100 x 5 but very happy with this.

Did some 45 degree hypers, single leg press and abductor stuff. Then 20 mins on the bike with the gym manager making me an impromptu cup of tea - great gym service I thought

Squats

160 x 1 - really painful and generally s**t

Some other nonsense - it's not looking good
