Good session, squats looked extremely easy (if clearly very painful at first). You're getting stronger almost by the minute at the moment, it seems.

Cheers guys.

The squats felt far from strong, and indeed were painful. Decided to take a step back on them at first and get some work in, gradually build them back up. Next week may be 180 x3 for 5 sets rather than 3, then back to 3x3 with a tad more weight the week after and 5 threes with it the week after that etc... not sure yet

Just happy i didn't poop at all, although i came close at one point!!

Hadn't realised you were in difficulties in that regard, Jeff!

The box jump I mentioned, 54" standing:

Of course Americans need special pots because they don't have decent teapots. Any medium-sized teapot with a proper spout will work just fine.

We need "f**k off, fire" up on the wall in big letters. It's been waking me up to laugh all night.

Nah, it'll be power clean Monday, snatch Wednesday, Jerk from Racks Friday, but the main focus will be on squats and pulls, basic strength work is what is needed

Cheers Tony, it's a case of back to basics for a while for me. Been missing lifts i shouldn't for a while now due to poor line, lots of hang work is the plan to correct it.

Know what you mean about neighbours complaining. I had my neighbour tapping on the garage door the other week "What are you doing in there Jeff? Weights? My whole house is shaking!"

"Yes, Jim. I've nearly finished now, i'll let them down a bit more gently!!" FFS

He's a bit of an old woman, but best keep the peace!!! I was only doing pulls as well Grin
