Hey Bill, yes enjoying some repping, and have gone back on 5 3 1. Started light because I'm focussing on some fat loss and the rowing before christmas aggravated my knees in the tendons over the kneecap(the left one has settled down, the right one is still a bit tender and tight during the day between sessions)so the lighter weights are easier on the old body for now, also easier on the shoulder whilst that's healing. I'll keep some singles in during some of the the 531 weeks and go by feel on the 5 and 3 rep weeks. | ||

I was down to 112 before Xmas but back up to 115 this morning. The aim is to drop to the 105s, but I think the niggles I've got have been exacerbated by the dieting,and I've just had a great workout tonight after upping the calories over the last couple of weeks, so I'm going to do it slowly. | ||

bollocks to global warming Member 475, 1735 posts SQ 200, BP 125, DL 235560.0 kgs @ 115kgs UnEq | Bike 10 mins. Warm up with bar x 10 mins. Beltless squats, all high bar. Bar x 10 x 2 sets 60kg x 5 100kg x 5 110kg x 5 125kg x 3 140kg x 11 PB 100kg x 10 reps x 5 sets Standing Cable abs 3 x 15 Great session tonight. The high bar is starting to work for me and actually hit a PB (both beltless & belted). I can hit depth easier and can get my elbows under the bar, and the weight is supported by my upper back making it easier to breathe between reps and stay upright between reps. Could have squeezed another rep, I was aiming for 15 reps but there's no way I'd have got 15 without long rests and breaths between reps. The right knee has loosened up a bit this week, but I'm icing as I type as a precaution. I've upped the calories as well which will help recuperate the niggles. I was blowing on the first 2 sets @ 100 but the last 2 sets felt easier  | ||
