    Annoyingly, my close-grip bench has almost completely caught up to my normal bench for 3x8. I really wish I knew what I was doing so weirdly. But at least it's going somewhere.

    Deadlift 60 2 x 5, 85 x 5, 100 x 2, 110 x 2, 122.5 x 1+Fail Plan was for 2, but just could'nt keep the back extended to break floor
    95 3 x 3

    Bench 20 x 8, 30 x 8, 40 x 3, 47.5 x 5, 7, 3 No idea what happened here, just wasn't working. Last set hit the safety and went all wrong.

    Back yesterday from a week away. Plenty of small-boat sailing, some kayaking and one 750m lake swim

    Sunday 1st

    Squat 20 2 x 5, 40 x 5, 50 x 3, 60 x 2, 70 3 x 5 These were solid although struggling to get the right depth - first 2 sets way too deep, third not quite enough. Hopefully wont suffer too much tomorrow.

    Bench 20 x 5, 30 x 5, 40 x 3, 45 x 1, 50 3 x 5. This is still a rubbish weight, but this used to be a 3rm weight when I was training 5 years ago, and is now a fairly easy 3x5. Feels good.

    Chins 3 x 2

    Off for a long weekend in Switzerland, so no light day this week

    Tuesday 3rd
    Squat 20 2 x 5, 40 x 5, 50 x 3, 60 x 2, 70 x 5 (all way too high, overcorrected), 75 x 5 (OK), 80 x 5

    Press 15 x 5, 20 x 5, 25 x 3, 30 x 1, 35 x 1, 37.5 x 1, 38.5 x 1 (equal PR), 39 x Fail, 32.5 x amrap =6

    Deadlift 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x amrap=9 Probably had more, but out of breath and attempted 10th felt too soft

    Back late Sunday. Decided to do a moderate Tuesday and try and squeeze in something later in the week, restarting normal schedule next week

    Tues 10th

    Squat 20 2 x 5, 40 x 5, 50 x 3, 60 x 2, 70 x 5, 75 x 5, 80 x 5

    Bench 20 x 5, 30 x 5, 40 x 3, 45 x 5, 50 x 5, 55 x 3 Wrists were super wobbly on last rep, even with wraps

    Defecit dead (about 3" ?) 60 x 3, 70 x 3, 80 x 3. These are hard. At this defecit I am slightly lower at shoulders than hips whatever I do
