Workout 31

Squats 100 x 5 x 3
Press 48 x 5 x 3
Deadlift 135 x 5 x 1

Lat pulldown
55 x 12 x 3

All lifts except the squat back to where they were pre-stomach bug. However, it doesn't feel good. Squat especially, I'm getting pain in the bottom of the squat in my right hip, and some sharp pain under the left kneecap. Next session I will do some work on my stance to see if it corrects it.

Press was really, really tough.

Workout 32

Squat 102.5 x 5 x 3
Bench 67 x 5 x 3
Power Clean 52.5 x 2,3,1,0,0

Lat pulldown 55 x 12 x 3

So-so today. Used chalk to mark stance for squats. and I think it helped the hip pain. Downside was I tried my belt and it pinched on my fat belly and I ended up almost wearing it as a bra. Also, I noticed that I was tipping forward slightly, so that may be down to bar position - my shoulder/chest flexibility still sucks and needs sorted. Will endeavour to video my next work sets.

Bench went OK, tough but I knew I was going to make the reps. 1kg jumps fine for now.

Power cleans were utter balls, Balls I tell ye. Last rep of first set didn't get all the way up, yet I managed set 2. Set 3 never got going so I bailed. Oddly enough, I did my lat pulldowns straight after and nailed all three sets with minimal rest as I was short on time. I was trying hook grip on cleans so perhaps that had an impact.
