100kg x 5
100kg x 5
100kg x 5
100kg x 5
100kg x 5
100kg x 5

squats feeling good tonight, all to good depth.

Flat bench press -

bar x 12
60kg x 8
80kg x 6
then
95kg x 5
95kg x 5
95kg x 6 (+1 assisted rep)
70kg x 12

i intend on doing higher rep workouts like this every so often, its a nice change.
used knee sleeves for squats today cos knees have felt dodgy lately.

Done.

Nice work on the squats and bench mate, do the knee wraps keep your knees feeling less dodgy? I've got the same problem i think.

well they don't feel any worse after today so i think i will use them whenever i have knee pains.
they were knee sleeves though, not wraps. sleeves feel less like cheating to me but still help a little. Happy

went to the gym with good intentions but lat and shoulder are goosed. Unhappy.
Tried cleaning, tricep pull downs, shrugs and bench, all of which caused great discomfort. The plan now is to try and gain weight, rest lots and throw in the occasional squat sesh till i feel back to 100% again. Hopefully won't take longer than 2 or 3 weeks to recover. Got some heat spray stuff, dont know if this will help but gonna give it a go.

Press ups are something I should start doing again. How did the poorly lat cope with them?

not too bad, kept them fairly narrow so was triceps doing most of the pushing. i used to do loads but this is the first time in ages that ive bothered.

A change is as good as a rest as they say! So long as it's not aggravating the injury, it's all good. Happy
