    Press: 20 kg x 5 x 2, 30 x 5, 41 x 3, 52.5 x 1, 63.5 kg x 3r x 6s. The first and the fourth set was kinda slow, the rest of the sets were all right.

    More press: 48.5 kg x 12, 45 kg x 12. Huh! These got my heart rate going!

    Chin-ups with black band: 8r x 5s. Nothing much to say about this.

    "Dips": 8r x 4s. Well, I haven't done dips before that I can remember. And my bodyweight is higher than what I can bench press. So I did "cheat dips", that is my toes were on the floor behind me. So I used my legs to help. A bit like bro bench, my legs telling my arms
    "it's all you, bro, it's all you!" Well, probably better than not doing them.

    Then I was supposed to do curls, but I didn't. Those "dips" used up all my energy.

    Still , pretty good day, and I enjoyed the press.

    I love doing dips. They just don't fit into my program/schedule anywhere right now.
    How much assistance were you giving yourself? I bet you'll be at unassisted before long.
    I usually do curls as part of my press/bench warmup, to keep sore biceps and elbows at bay.

    How much assistance, well, difficult to say. Probably more than I'd like to think. Having tried them now I realize they are useful, but since I'm on Andy's program now I don't know when I will do dips next time.

    Yeah, I used wrist wraps to be on the safe side.

    SQ: 20 kg x 5 x 2, 50 x 5, 75 x 3, 100 x 1, 117 x 1, 133 kg x 3r x 6s. This was all right.

    SLDL: 50 kg x 5, 75 x 3, 100 x 1, 117 x 1, 130 kg x 3 x 3. Haven't done much SLDLs before, but I got these done better than I thought I would.

    GPP circuit. This included sit-ups, and I haven't done those in many, many, many years. My abs were in knots afterwards, so I should probably do sit-ups regularly.

    Pretty good day!

    They are also very de-moralizing, since I always go into the first set thinking, "hey, I can squat and deadlift 200 kg with a straight back, my abs are TIGHT!" and then I can do approximately 0,5 a rep before exhausting myself.
