Ended with a s**t load of stretching for the dodgy leg/knee.

Bench press felt absolutely fine, all speedy fast and no pain or discomfort whatsoever from the pec I've had trouble with lately. Another easyish session on Friday, then full speed again next week.

I can squat to a high box without any pain or discomfort from my dodgy knee, so I gave that a go tonight. Nice wide stance and pause on the box, hopefully to help with both pulling sumo and squatting equipped. All sets were very easy, but I didn't want to push my luck and go heavier.

Pleased overall.

I've found 140kg to be a comfortable press in the battered old shirt, possibly an opener with a bit more practice. I might get a tighter shirt out of the cupboard next week and see what happens there.

Box squats were easy. Happy with everything today.

First single with 180kg that I didn't film felt great, then 190kg felt horrible. Then I completly forgot everything I was meant to be doing to improve my form on the attempted double with 180kg and failed the second rep. I feel it was an improvement on previous sumo deadlifting though. Not great, but I'm still certain big things will happen with more practice.

Single legged leg press made me aware of how weak my right leg is. It was actually quite tough on that side, piss easy for my left leg though.

Pleased with the benching.

552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq		I have the same shirt (rage-x, battered to death). It gave me 40-50kg last year and has outperformed every other shirt i've tried. I do have a katana but i'm waiting to get strong again before I mess about with it.

Quality benching. When's your next comp?

I've got a couple of other Rage-Xs, one which is one size smaller than the black one I've used lately and another which is like 3 sizes smaller. Might give them a whirl if I can get them on.

Received an SK the other day, secondhand, but barely used. Might try that on Monday as well.

Next comp is the first weekend in March. Might be bench only then, see how my knee holds up.

Was meant to be today, but having the flu put a stop to that idea. Maybe Friday, see how I feel.

First session in the Super Katana today. Took a bit of getting used to, nothing got anywhere near touching until 130-140 ish. Then I started to get the hang of things and got the 150s and following 130s within millimetres of touching. Just need to get used to it I guess. Really chuffed to have doubled 150kg either way.

Yeah, didn't quite touch though so not counting it as a PB. Apparently they were extremely close though.
