Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Another okay session, but back still feeling awkward. Building up again slowly to try and gain some work capacity too so that each workout doesn't destroy me. Squats: 125 x 5/5/5 Not too bad. Press: 62.5 x 5/5/5 Easier than I thought it was going to be given how the warm-ups felt. Chins: bodyweight x 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3 Trying something different since three sets to failure clearly isn't working for me. Then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Okay session this afternoon. Back still weird, almost stopped me deadlifting as the last two warm-ups felt a bit off but the workset felt a little better. Squats: 130 x 5/5/5 Not bad. Bench press: 82.5 x 5/5/5 Not bad. Deadlifts: 160 x 5 A bit harder. Then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Good session tonight. Squats: 135 x 5/5/5 Not bad at all. Press: 65 x 5/5/5 A bit hard. First set was miss-loaded (put on a 2 instead of a 2.5 on one side). Barbell rows: 85 x 5/5/5 Not bad. Pull ups: bodyweight x 5/5/5 Unusual that I was able to do any of these after rows! Some quick mobility then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Decent enough session this afternoon. Wasn't feeling great this morning so was contemplating skipping but didn't. Need the results of my blood test to see if there's anything. Squats: 137.5 x 5/5/5 Harder. Bench press: 85 x 5/5/5 Not too bad. Chins: bodyweight x 4/4/4/4/4/4/4/4 Got them all. The first few sets were done on the top bar of a machine rather than an actual chin up bar, which is pretty much like a fat-grip bar or something. Some mobility then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not a bad session tonight, even though I wasn't feeling it, managed all my numbers. Back feeling worse, and to be honest I'm quite worried about my back troubles returning. Squats: 140 x 5/5/5 Hard and form didn't feel good. Press: 66.5 x 5/5/5 Not too hard. Chins: bodyweight x 5/5/5/5/5/5 Okay. Some mobility then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not a bad session tonight. Feeling sick and had a sore stomach, bottom-left. Back also feeling maybe a little worse than last time. Not really sure what's going on. Paused squats: 120 x 5/5/5 Pause squats are hard. Bench press: 86.5 x 5/5/5 A bit harder. Didn't do any pulling as I really wasn't up for it. Then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Good session tonight. Back still the same, though. Squats: 142.5 x 5/5/5 Not bad. Press: 68 x 5/5/5 Glad I got them all. Chins: bodyweight x 6/6/6/6/6 Glad I got them all. But were difficult. Some mobility then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Lighter session tonight. And back still the same. Squats: 105 x 5/5 Light squat day. Bench press: 87.5 x 5/5/5 Not too bad. Chins: bodyweight x 7/7/7/2 Meh, knew I never really had much in me for the last set. Might try doing weighted chins occasionally, even if it's just for a single or double, to see if it helps. Some mobility then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Decent session tonight, and back still the same. Squats: 145 x 5/5/5 Harder. Press: 69 x 5/5/5 Very hard, but an all time PR. Deadlifts: 165 x 5 Not too bad. Got told I am hyper-extending my low back at the lock-out, which is something I'll have to fix. Did some lacrosse ball work, then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Meh session tonight. Left should and bicep not feeling great. Not sure what's wrong. Back still the same. Squats: 147.5 x 5/5/5 Not bad at all to be honest. CGBP: 70 x 5 Stopped there because of shoulder and biceps not feeling great. Barbell rows: 90 x 5/5 Again not feeling great on the biceps. Some lacrosse ball work then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not a bad session this afternoon. Left should, bicep and back still feeling the same. Squats: 150 x 5/5/5 Quite hard. Maybe not keeping tight enough and allowing form to relapse a bit. Press: 70 x 5/5/5 Happy with this PR. But was difficult. Chins: Bodyweight x 7/7/7 Meh. Some mobility and then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not a bad session tonight. Feel that shoulder is improving a bit, and also think it's perhaps a bicep tendon issue. Back still the same. Squats: 152.5 x 5/5/5 Form didn't feel great - not tight enough, not staying in the hips enough. CGBP: 80 x 5/5/5 Should/bicep tendon/whatever still not 100% on these but managed all reps without much difficulty. Chins: bodyweight x 4/4/4/4/4/4/4/4/4/4 Trying to get more volume in. These were quite hard. Some lacrosse ball work then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not a bad session tonight. Shoulder and back still the same, and knee not great after Wednesday's squats - as I knew at the time, I wasn't keeping in the hips and had a few bad asymmetrical reps where it felt like too much of the force went through my right knee, so I didn't squat tonight. Press: 71 x 5/5/5 Very difficult, but a 1 kg PR. Used the belt too. Deadlifts: 170 x 5 Used the ever so slightly thicker bar with the not so great knurling so grip wasn't as strong as I'd have liked which might have made this feel a little harder. But main goal was to pull with perfect extension, and was told I largely achieved this bar a little bit of thoracic rounding. Maybe I'm slightly kyphotic or maybe I wasn't forcing my chest up enough or taking in enough air. Some stretching and lacrosse ball work then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Just a quick one this afternoon. Wanted to squat to see how the knee felt, and back and shoulder/bicep still the same, so didn't really do any upper body work. Actually I did do a set of 5 or so chins but they felt heavy so didn't push them. Seeing if the bicep/shoulder thing dies down a bit. Squats: 145 x 5/5/5 Not too bad. De-loaded a bit as my form over the last session or two has been getting progressively worse, not staying in the hips or keeping tight enough, culminating in a sore right knee after last time. Knee felt fine squatting. Some lacrosse ball work and stretching, then home. | ||

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | Not a bad session tonight. Back still the same. Squats: 147 x 5/5/5 Not too bad. Press: 72 x 5/5/1 80 x 1 First two sets really difficult; had nothing left in me for the last, hence only getting one rep. Tried 80 for the hell of it which was also really difficult. But at least 72 is a PR. Deadlift: 175 x 5 Not too bad, but still too much upper back rounding for my liking. Some lacrosse ball work then home. | ||
