Tried a back off set but had nothing left.

First work set felt heavy, and only got 4 (1 down from last week). Managed to get 4 on set 3 and had a bit to spare, so decided to add a fourth set. Very happy with getting 4 on that set as well. Managed an extra rep on back off set too. A small improvement, but I'll take it.

Warm up sets felt good, but only managed same reps as last time on work sets. Almost overbalanced on second work set, had to re-rack and then complete set. Decided to try shoes again on last set (probably not the best time to introduce them) - felt to have more power than without, think my little flat foot experiment is over. Managed an extra rep on back off set with shoes on.

Thought I'd done 105 for work sets last time, so upped it to 110 - turns out I didn't, so I struggled. Managed 4s (was aiming for 5s). Bugger.

Delayed Monday session as lower back was a bit tight yesterday.

Was aiming for work sets of 5 but it wasn't there, should have started a bit lower. Have lost my form, the last set was the best when I worked out how to drive up properly again. Trying them barefoot for a while to see if flat footed works better for me.

Back after an enforced break for a few months - turned out that my shortness of breath was caused by multiple PEs in my lungs and pneumonia (top tip - go to the doctors if you can't breathe, don't wait until you cough up blood Happy ). They've since found a DVT in my leg, which may be the cause. On warfarin for 6 months.

Introduced some light/fast squat/bench/deadlift sessions a few weeks ago, now time to get back to strength work. Have lost a lot of strength.

Bench session tonight, will try 3 sets of 5 for a while and see if I can gradually increase the weight (and eventually add a fourth set).

Back was feeling good today so tried some deadlifts. Felt good until I tried a second rep at 160, when lumbar region started to tighten up, so left it there.

Tue 8 Apr - Bench

Warm up bike 5 mins

Belt

Added an extra warm-up single nearer the work set weight. Managed to make a third set at 122.5 this week, and almost a fourth too - wimped out on the last rep, though it would have been a grinder. Could have got another rep on back off set but decided to leave a bit in the tank.

Good session, even thought neck and lower back were not perfect.
