Managed to push through the pain. Squat form was horrible, easy on the ascent but the descent was awful hamstring cramping.
Food and showered feel good now.
Hate this covid bollocks.

Bollocks is a good word for this lock down. Are you required to wear a mask in your gym and wash frequently?
Keep at it. Never give up.
Hand sanitizer on entry, limited capacity, changing rooms open but no showers (?). No mask required but have to clean and sanitise equipment and area after use (paper towels and spry) Nothing too draconian or petty.
Glad to be back.
Only minor doms today so back in tomorrow.
Meant to go sat, but no gym shutdown for 48hr deep clean for a suspected covid case.
Suspected !? Gah life does like to mess with a restart.

Deadlift 2 warm-up sets and bailed
Time.to fix squat form realised.that in order to get under.the bar I was rolling my shoulders forward due to shoulder inflexibility. So focused on keeping upper.back straight (thoracic extension).
Good god the strain was awful. Didnt ho up on press felt right traps tensing and cramping. And deadlift was blitzed after 2 warm up sets. Think the squat shoes I wore for the 1st time didn't help and it stifling in gym no air con. Roll.on sat
Ohhps almost or forgot

Just curious. Do you know why you bailed on the deadlift?
Hi Carson.
I think it was fatigue and lack of bodycondition as it didn't happen today.
Nice session, feel some strength coming back
