Not so much lemon fresh as slightly rancid Happy. Still, they'll get there.

No swimming since I have a bas***d of an ear infection, which is steadily getting worse. In fact I nearly didn't train at all. Glad I did, though.

Friday 11th August, pm, Adlington

The plan is doubles at 150, 155, 160, all of which would be PBs.

Squat 20x5x2, 70x5x2, 115x3, 135x3, 150x2 PB

Easy, easy, easy. At this point Wigan tells me not to piss about and put a bit more on.

Squat 160x2 PB

Still comedy-easy. At this point Little A tells me to do a nice single while the doing's good, then leave it. So:

Squat 170x1 PB

The only thing wrong with that is that I could and should have doubled it (if not more). I was actually squatting properly last night, and it was great. Having seen it on phonecam, it was deep, upright, and very fast. There's a LOT more in the tank.

The ear is much worse today (though at least my internet connection is fixed), and I may well not train now until Wednesday. I certainly couldn't squat as I am today.

Saw the PB on the board when I walked in tonight... 4 PBs on it in a row... I know only two others who have done that!!

Top work glad it's going well, sounds like 400 is on the doorstep!

I'm too old, fat and chicken to race people Wink - it'll come when it's ready. That said I think it'll come soon.

You need to squat 185 real soon - gives you 400 squat and 500 total in one lift. Judging by the video of 175 it's there.

Dude, you can call it a race if you want to Happy. It's just that I won't feel like a loser if I squat 200 a little while after you do!

I think my milestones in rough order of when I expect them are now 400# squat, 140 bench, 1200# total, 220 dead, 200 squat, 500# dead. I like these Grin.

Monday 13th August, pm, Adlington

Squat 20x5x2, 70x5x2, 115x5, 145x2, 165x1, 175x1 PB, 185x1 PB.

165 forgot to breathe properly, 175 was just about perfect and very easy, 185 forgot to dig out of the bottom, so while it was deep it didn't come up quite as prettily as the others. This is the first non-easy squat for a while. There's still more there, but joining the 400 club will do for now.

Video will be forthcoming, courtesy of Little A.

Many thanks to Andy, Jeff, Joe and Pete for encouragement, advice and spotting. And of course Alan. Andy, Jeff and Pete all squatted beautifully themselves, and Andy's 170 clean and jerk was a thing to behold.

Some ghey side raises, much talk of genital injuries, and offski. Pete prescribed chinese food and beer. Sounds like a plan.
