I think I just got a glimpse into what training will be like when I'm 60 and have picked up a few actual injuries.
It's fucking terrible. I think I'm just not going to get older, that should sort it.

24/5/16
Everything hurts. My knees and hips, elbows and shoulders. In particular my right knee and left hips and adductor.
Squat
20kgx2x10
60kgx2x5
80kgx2x5
100kgx2x3
120kg 3/2
Gave it a rest there. Every rep felt terrible.
Bench
20x2x10
60x5x5
Not terrible, but I couldn't really arch because my hips hurt too much.
Press
2x2x10
40x5x5
Felt decent.
Deadlift
70x5x5
Actually felt good.
Banded Chins 5x5
Hammer Curl 10x3x10
Should probably note that all weights will be in kilograms, and I probably won't bother to note that most of the time.
26/6/16
Worked up to a 200kg single in the deadlift. Hips and knees didn't hurt, so that was good. Felt slow, but that should be expected.
27/6/16
My face hurts. Still not recovered from being sick last week.
Been working on my bridge. I like them, think I'll keep working on it.
Squat
25kgx2x10
75kgx10
105kgx3x5
Feels better than last time. Hips don't hurt so much.
Deadlift
60x5
100x3
Low back was way too fried.
Press 40kgx5x10
Easy. Tried a new grip.
Hammmer 15x5x10
BB Curl 30x3x10
Think I'm going to give it a week or two and see how I feel. If I'm still too wrecked and can't squat I'll have to pull out of the comp.
29/6/16
My face hurts.
Bench
20x2x10
60x10
80x5
90x3x10
Easy. This is the start of my bench cycle. Aiming for a 150kg bench. Might actually get it this time. Felt like nothing, which is good.
Press
20x10
45x5x10
Still easy.
Banded Chinups 3x10
Trying new things.
Also did some concentric only work for my elbow tendinitis. We'll see if it works or not.
Add this I guess.
SQUATS FOR THE SQUAT GOD! GLUTES FOR THE GLUTE THRONE!
30/6/16
Definitely not used to actual training, these kicked my ass. Also too way too long.
Deadlift
60x5
100x5
140x3
162.5 8/8/9/1/1
Used straps. Was being pretty lazy with my setup, so I did a few singles to work on it.
Close Grip
20x2x10
60x10
80x3x10
Press
20x10
40x5
60x5x3
Hammer Curls.
