6:19.WTF Member 3359, 3677 posts SQ 250, BP 210, DL 295755.0 kgs @ 89kgs UnEq | Wednesday 02/01/19 Squats, high bar 20x5 60x5 100x3 140x1 160x8 160x8 160x8 6 weeks since I've squatted due to knee pain. Strength felt great considering, although the legs were feeling a little jellied by the end. Big doms are on the way. CGBP slingshot 20x20 60x5 100x3 120x1 140x1 160x1 170x4 170x4 170x4 170x4 Slight shoulder pain still, but good sets Bench, incline 20x20 60x5 80x3 100x1 110x4 110x4 110x4 Had a reasonably big drinking session on New Years Eve, felt just about recovered for training today. Xmas / New Year has been fun, but it's good to start to get back to normal again. Plan for now with squats is just to see how they go, if the knee pain comes back again I'll have to drop them again for a bit :/ | ||

CGBP slingshot 20x20 60x5 100x3 120x1 140x1 160x1 180x1 200x1 200x1 200x1 Meant to be doubles, think I'd have failed them though Bench, incline 20x20 60x5 80x3 100x1 120x1 135x1 145x1 - heaviest I've been in several years on incline, form not too good though and my arse came up a touch 132.5x2 132.5x2 132.5x2 Deads up to 220x1, doms screwed me for any more Well I'm glad I'm back squatting again, but as always after a layoff it's f**ked me up, usually takes about a week or so to get back into them again. | ||

The beard is coming on well, although the annoyance factor is reasonably high at the moment, so it may go shortly. I wouldn't blame you, when mine gets to a third of the length of yours it becomes bothersome and has to get clipped back. Never shave but keep the clippers handy would be my advice. Hope you have a good year on the training front, you should be at the stage where you have considerable experience to draw on but haven't started to fall apart yet. (And shouldn't for some time I hasten to add) Please remember this - a little bit too little is always a better option that a little bit too much | ||
