Legs are still feeling my 5x5 session from few days ago, so the light squats felt tougher than they should, but by the 3rd set they were very easy. Deadlifting felt a bit easy too, so I think I may have misjudged how heavy to go on them. Ill run with them for three weeks to see. Lost my barbell row virginity tonight, again easy. Trained in the work gym tonight as i am on the nightshift, got a wee job as i put down the bar from my rows so a moderate conditioning session too. Happy with tonight.

Dip

thought id went conservative with the press weight, but it was tough. Would rather have chinned straight after pressing. But some guy was shoulder pressing in the smith.
That was all only had time to squat today. Whilst I was in a guy was deadlifting 60kg for lots and lots of sets with very little rest between. His back was very rounded, i cant imagine how it didn't hurt. After i left the rack he came over to front squat.
my training wise the reps were good and ifnot easy they were all solid plate rattlers!
2x5 Bar
1x5 60kg
1x3 80kg very hard
1x1 90kg very hard
3x5 100kg. ooooffffttt. took everything I had to get this.
I have abandoned one lift per day for now, its not working for me, mostly due to a poor application of the basics of the template. I also have to stick in some running, press ups and sit ups in for something coming up on the horizon, of which I need to be ready but might not happen. I can get into the gym for 2 sessions a week for definite. on a monday and thursday. So will get the lifting in then. ill get there on a friday most weeks too. so will spread it out when I do.

1 mile run with my 6 year old. she is doing the 1 miler in the great Scottish run on saturday, so wanted a wee session. it took her 11 minutes 26s.
we did pull ups after.
me 12, 7, 9.
she 2x3 (with me assissting her)
3x10 press ups
3x15 sit ups.
Went too heavy on the press. will have to knock it down for next time./ form was ugly all over the place.
In general the last months training has been poor. Lack of sleep, poor diet and whatever else has made September a month to id like to forget, however you learn fuckall when things go well, so chalk it up for experience and move past it.

In the morning went running in the great Scottish run family mile with my 6 year old girl. We completed it in around 11 mins or so.
Spent most of Friday night and the small hours of Saturday morn with an ill 2 year old. The fact anything was done was great. It was a poor session, I also had the beginnings of a stomach bug. So all in all card punched. But I've had better weekends.
