Sunday
1/12-24
Bench
5x5 ascending
Last set 68kgx5
Press
Same, ascending fives
Last set 30x3
Problem with shoulder during press. Probably from benchin to heavy with flaring elbows. I might try narrow grip in the bench, or just keep on doing the press and work on bench form.

Had a stupid accident and sat right down on my right butt cheek. Not good, but I live, and don’t think DL is that bad, tomorrow will tell.

Thanks Fred!
The same to you when it’s time now that you got your ticker ’fixed, you probably got a whole bunch left to celebrate. Your training log looks just fine!

Happy belated birthday. I'll be 75 next week.
Ever think about briefs for sqts, sort of like knee sleeves for the hips. My good friend that sqts pretty huge weights swears by them.

Probably a good idea! I just bought a bunch of very nice wool socks, a leg warmer and cap also mohairwool.
Costly but addictive.
