I've got the urge to bench again so lets not fight it. Today I wanted to find out where I am so I can plan. However I had a total lack of any hype. Everything was done with a very Meh attitude (not sure if that's good or bad). Anyway, if I had some care in me I'm sure I could have put up another 10kg at least. this is still a good starting place.

Cheers mate, I'm a bit rusty but better than expected. Shoulders and triceps have been screaming at me. I think this shows I'll get carry over to my overhead stuff.

I have a very swollen knee at the moment. Nothing sinister, I've been bitten by some sort of midge and had a bad reaction. It's effecting how my knee tracks so don't want to rock the boat. If it carry's on focus on upper body lifts but I've had a few extra days recovery to see how what happens.

The nasty puss filled bite on my knee decided to burst on Sunday in a fountain of rancid relief. It was nothing serious just nasty and tight. All good now though.

Super hard Km session last night. I got the bloody short straw and had to do every round of the summary drill instead of alternates like everybody else. Still smashed it though and that's what counts.

Missed logging a few session due to the site being unavailable. Meh, life goes on.

Weight is down a little more. I've now lost a full stone. Tipped the scale at 16st 5lb this morning which is 103.9kg. I need to be lighter for grading but I worried strength would suffer...

--Reverse Bands On
405kg x 1 rep --PB by 20kg. Bizarrely this felt easier than 385kg, I think there's a bit more in that tank. I was worried my grip would give out but it held true, in fact it felt very solid.

Cheers mate, the plan now is to get some reps at very high weight. I'll also adjust the band tension so they do less. Ideally I want the bar free from the bands at the top #goals. I tend to get stale on dead very quickly so when i notice this happening I'll switch to a different version. The variety should keep things fresh and avoid burn out.

TBH, I didn't really intend to lean out. I was eating like a fat pieces of s**t so I decided to cut out obvious junk. Things like grains irritate me so I stopped eating those. I then replace the load food with rice. That's it. The problem is I can't eat the same amount of calories in rice as I could in junk and thus I started losing weight. I'm still quite soft around the middle but I'm ok with that. The big bonus, I don't have to actively cut weight fro my grading, I already did it by accident

TBH it did worry me a bit initially but since my gut is shrinking I can tell the loss is fat or at least mostly fat. The goal was not fat loss though, I'm just trying to make healthier choices. With recent event its forced me to take stock of this sort of thing. I do feel a lot better in general, sort of more alive. That's worth it by itself.

I'm sticking bench back in, it's a nice break and I've taken all pressure off myself in terms of weight. I'm happy to hit reps at a reasonable percentage of 1rm. I'm taking 140kg as my max for now so ideally I need to be working with 120kg.

Just a bit tight mate. I went to a beer festival on Friday and spent a good 12 hours on my feet. As an office boy I'm not used to that sort of thing. Tbh though if I can add in some sort of squat or lunge variant that warms me up and helps build flexibility then I'd be daft not to do it.
