Member 541, 4898 posts SQ 192.5, BP 120, DL 222.5 535.0 kgs @ 92.8kgs UnEq	Sunday Paused Bench 20kg x 10 40kg x 5 60kg x 5 80kg x 3 92.5kg x 1 102.5kg x 1 95kg x 3 87.5kg x 3 87.5kg x 3 Pin Press 85kg x 5 Chins bwt x 6 x 3 sets DB Rows 40kg x 10 x 3 sets Reverse curls 20kg x 10 x 3 sets Bar hangs 40secs x 1 Not a very good session. Bench felt heavy and my right shoulder does not feel great atm. Not all sessions are going to go well I suppose. In 2 minds to spend a few weeks with light weights and high reps. (91.1)

Squats went reasonably well and I was never in danger of failing them, but the last couple of sets my back ached a little on the last rep or 2. Thankfully SLDLs did not aggravate my lower back further so I'm hoping a good rest and stretching will see my back right. (90.9)

Strangely, my shoulders feel a bit battered atm. I think it is time to do some higher volume/ lower weight work on upper body. Otherwise I'm going to end up injuring myself. I seem to be all niggles atm and don't want to turn them into overuse injuries. (91.3)

As suspected, my back felt a bit crap, especially on squats. I stopped a set or 2 short of what I intended. Trap bar deadlifts didn't put much pressure on my back. Not sure how much the bar weighs, but over 20kg I think. These felt rather heavy. (91.3)

Nothing too tricky, and I got through it reasonably quickly too. Will run this for 3 weeks on Bench and overhead, and see how i feel. See if it makes my shoulders and wrists any less achey. We'll see. (91.0_

Squat went quite well, despite not sleeping much last night. Feel better after all the nasty niggles I've had. Did not do any deadlift variation today, taking no chances. Bar hangs more difficult as doing trap bar deadlifts on Friday really bruised my thumbs. (91.0)

Certainly left me feeling quite energised. We'll see how long this progresses. (91.5)

Back did not feel great for deadlifts, but was trying to use my legs more on these. (91.1)

Bench a little more difficult. DB incline presses were too light. Rest was fine except pressdowns, which trigger pain in my left forearm. (91.4)

Every set was hard, but once I made the 1st set I never thought I would fail a set. This represents my best 5 x 5 since Feb 2020, all the better because my back is not 100%. I'm sure this will hurt tomorrow, but anyway, onward and upward. (91.1)

The rest went reasonably well (91.5)

Slight increase increase in top single and down set tripe on paused squat. Deadlift moved quickly, though it was fairly light as I didn't want top aggravate my SI joint further. (91.3)

Lots of hypertrophy, with little wrist and no shoulder pain, so job done. 4 x 12 would be hard on any weight, so I was pleased to make this. Everything else went smoothly, most exercise a little heavier than last Sunday. 3 x 10 next week, so should be easier. (91.4)

I did not feel particularly good in warm-up, 130 felt particularly heavy. Working sets started really hard, but at least they didn't get significantly harder. Last rep of last set felt really backy. I expect I'll feel that later. At least touchdown squats seem to have sorted out my knee pain. (91.1)

Overhead press felt a bit heavy, though Close Grip felt a bit better. Of the rest, Pendlays felt pretty good too. (91.3)
