OHP - up to 53.5x8+1+1+1+1 Dips - bw+16 x12, x11, x8+2+2+2+2 Row - 40 x20, x17 These are about the most abbreviated lifting sessions I've ever done, and yet more volume than I'm used to. Quite enjoying them, hamstring issue aside.

normal people, like me. Member 2325, 550 posts	Had a couple of deload lifting sessions and two 40min bike rides. Having to do a bit of stretching, feeling a bit beaten up by the riding. Right hamstring is still an issue. Can't decide if it's actually a bit of bruising from the saddle, so have got some proper bike shorts to see if that improves things.
