Was odd but they say variety is the spice of life. As I said already no straps used for the deadlifts and grip wasn't an issue. Straps are benched for the foreseeable future. Love these simple sessions. Good work.  | ||

 Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | Cheers guys. Squat Session Today: Squat - 3 x 8 @ 90kg Front Squat - 3 x 8 @ 75kg Leg Press - 1 x 8 @ 200kg, 2 x 10 @ 200kg Managed to get lucky with a bit of sunshine again. Two squat sessions in a row out in the yard, going to be hard to go back inside. Front squats were tough today, really felt it in the wrists so I know I wasn't as upright as I should have been. Still managed to squeeze out the reps. Finished off the session with some lunges, same as last week but added 20kg to the bar. | ||

Will increase again next session. | ||

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | Squat Session: Squat - 3 x 6 @ 95kg Front Squat - 3 x 5 @ 77.5kg Leg Press - 3 x 8 @ 210kg Happy with the squat and leg press, front squat progress has slowed but I suppose that is to be expected. All squat reps were as deep as I could go with them, going to focus on keeping my squats deep as the weight goes up. | ||

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | Also started back on the cardio at a much slower pace this time, hopefully I'll avoid knackering the knee again. Done a couple cardio sessions, 2 miles or so, and been doing a core workout at the end of each training session. Summer is coming after all  .Got a new conditioning program that I'll be testing out tomorrow, update to follow. | ||

Nothing of concern, decent session. Again, bent row wasn't quite at the limit weight wise but seated row was about right. Increases should slow now I've figured out roughly where I should have started... | ||

Member 4400, 110 posts SQ 120, BP 90, DL 192.5402.5 kgs @ 72kgs UnEq | Squat Session: Squat - 3 x 10 @ 87.5kg Leg Press - 3 x 8 @ 215kg Leg Curls + Extension Sets - 3 x 10 @ 35kg + 50kg Finished up with some core, roll-outs, plank, overhead squats etc. Not bothering to put up the front squat for today, only did sets at 65kg as my hip has been giving me a bit of grief. Sound like an old man! Physio has benched me from ALL running for the next two months, at least, as well. Training etc. is fine but going to need to start getting some non impact cardio.. | ||

Half and half wrist wraps are helping a fair bit with the push pressing, don't think soft would be enough support. | ||

Also got the Beast Race in September but that's only 10k so I'm not worried. | ||
