 not particularly well educated Member 85, 11010 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | back was a bit tight over the weekend so postponed deadlifts till tonight , was supposed to be 130k5x5 as im trying to ease myself back into deadlifts with volume and not going near grinders , ended up going a little heavier after watching the mighty Boar's deadlift video. deadlift : 120kx5 130kx5 140kx5 150kx5 160kx5 curcuit of wide grip chins x10 kettlebell swings 21k x100 , 2 minutes shadow boxing , 5x 60 meter sprints jog back recoveries hammer curls 10k 3 sets of 10 with a slow negative ( doing these as ive got a bit of tendonitis in my forearms and i read somewhere these are good for it. | ||

 Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25597 posts Administrator | how lovely !! your lower back looks solid Ed , that set deffo looked less ball busting than mine (although it obvs was tough) goes to show that years of non drug fuelled training have given you a nice bit of strength in the bank !! even though I'm old(er) I am confident I can still get quite strong | ||

My only option is to order you into a singlet and step on the platform !! you are definitely miles ahead on squat , i did 60k for 5 sets of 10 this week and my back didnt even like that baby weight , the singlet is in the cupboard and will make a return at some point , but not until my numbers are a little better , 13 stone 2 this morning so maybe could make the 82's | ||
