    Squat: 1x5@141kg (310lb), 2x5@130kg (286lb)

    Lat pulldown: 4x12@48kg (105lb)
    Hamstring curl: 4x12@41kg (90lb)
    Bicep curl: 4x8@34kg (78lb)

    My maintenance squat was not too bad this time. Longer belt has arrived so the blimp could fit into it. Assistance exercises were tough especially barbell curls.

    Squat: 2x5@107kg (235lb)
    Deadlift: 1x5@143kg (314lb) 1RM,2RM,3RM,4RM,5RM PR
    Press: 3x5@41kg (90lb)

    Lying tricep extension: 4x8@25kg (55lb)
    Bicep curl: 4x10@34kg (74lb)
    Lat pulldown: 4x12@48.5kg (106lb)

    Deadlift was ridiculously heavy and it did not look great either. This does not change the fact that it matches my best 1x5 squat. Another press attempt, I have impression that it makes state of my shoulder worse but not sure about it (and even if it is not significant). I'm going to continue that for now.

    After squatting my right hip/lowback/glute hurt again, I think I will give insole lifts a try in near time. There is a place nearby where they perform diagnostics and make custom insole lifts. Physical therapists seem to have various opinions about insole lifts but I think I will give it a try eventually. The pain dissipated before the deadlift. I was trying a bit wider stance hoping for easier set up. It was not a revolution but possibly there was some positive change.

    Eventually tendonitis of the left knee and ACJ degeneration killed my motivation to train. For the rest of 2022 I had hard time walking stairs. Eventually I got some IPE treatment to improve state of my knee. Now I'm training more to do some rehab. My shoulder problem have not got solved. Generally doctors assume that since it is not a big deal in everyday life there is no reason for surgery especially that results vary.

    Anyhow for next couple of months I have no plans for getting back to regular training but I lift something again and since this community is great I will continue logging it here.

    Historically best lifts:

    Press: 5@49kg (107lb)
    Bench press: 5@87kg (191lb)
    Squat: 5@143kg (314lb)
    Deadlift: 5@143kg (314lb)

    Squat: 1x3@120kg (264lb), 2x8@105kg (231lb), 1x10@105kg (231lb)
    Bench press: 3x6@87.5kg (192.5lb), 1x5@87.5kg (192.5lb)

    Those 10 reps at the end were really hard mainly due to lack of the conditioning. Weight was clearly not too heavy. Indeed I would call it cardio.

    In case of bench press I racked the bar after 5 reps in the last set. I guess this was more lack of proper recovery and poor sleep so simply next week I will try to hit all the reps.

    Welcome back. I'm sorry to see injuries have derailed you. Keep doing what you can and look for ways to train around your injuries.

    Hey TartanEagle, thanks a lot. You know if someone spend their entire life sitting things are difficult. With some issues I will not be able to do anything. I'm trying to do what I can. I think in my case the ceiling is really low but maybe one plate press, two plates bench, tree plates squat and four plates deadlift are in my cards. All those injuries let me understand that it is not important how much I lift, it is more important to lift anything since I really enjoy it.
