    Todays entertainment was provided by a young chap trying to teach his girlfriend to squat. 30 kilos, check, running shoes, check, heels hip width apart, check, feet parallel, check. No reps were done this day.

    Deadlift: 20x10 60x5 80x3 100x2 120x1 130x1 140x1 142.5x1 145x1 AND!!! 147.5x1 Then 135x3 120x5 the back offs felt pretty damned hard.

    Going with ANdy Baker's unique patented system, which looks an awful lot like 5/3/1 done backwards.

    Press done in deadlift rests 20x10 30x5 403 45x2 50x6x3

    Squat Hi bar 20x5x2 40x5 50x3 60x2 70x1 80x1 85x1 87.5x5x3 or possibly 4, I think I might have done an extra set.

    Chin up 23.75x5 17.5x6x2

    Went for a walk afterwards after gym walk - England, GB Walking Route created by thirty06

    So much for heavy day.

    Press 20x5x2 30x5 40x3 45x2 50x1 55x1 60x1 61x0 couldn't get it above eye level. 55x1 45x5 and quit. Whatever messed up my bench is affecting all pressing movements. Left shoulder, near the front and beneath the delt, so I suspect I've upset my distal biceps tendon again. NO pressing ? light pressing only ? Bro stuff ? we shall see

    Squat 205x2 40x5 60x3 80x2 90x1 100x1 110x1 112.5x1 and stopped, that was godawful. Some kind of pain near my lower ribs on the right. I had some kind of cramp attack on Sunday that had me nearly calling an ambulance, I think there is some lasting problem there.
    102.5x4 92.5x8.

    SGDL 40x5 50x4 60x5 70x5 75x5

    Ditched fast lifts owing to a calf muscle tear. Walking, but with some pain, more of this later

    Front squat: 20x5x2 40x3 50x3 60x2 70x1 80x1 82.5x3 last rep was a bit crap 82.5x1 ad the calf muscle felt like I'd been stabbed. Quit there.

    Bench I wasn't going to bench at all for a while, but I decided to do 20x10 30x10 40x1 45x12x4 concentrating on keeping my left shoulder from rolling in.

    I was alone in the gym, then a herd of gymbros turned up. The display of chappy half reps, two man benches and silly movements was pitiful. The skinny boy in the next, rack was set up to squat the same top weight as me, but, sadly, no depth.

    Deadlift 20#15 60#5 80#3 100#2 120#1 130#1 140#1 145#1 150#0 broke the floor, but couldn't keep my back extended.

    Press 20#10 30#5 40#3 45#2 50#7,6,5 40#6,6 30#7 not sure why I did this, but there you go

    Squat high bar 20#5#2 40#5 60#3 70#1 80#1 belt on 85#1 90#5 85#5#2
