I continue to see deadlifting and squat gains with the help of your training program :). I have incorporated bent over T bar rows with and without a handle that have seen me add on a good bit of mass (and have also eliminated the lower back pain that the isolateral hammer row was causing).

My shoulder is bothering me less and less, physio is going well and I am learning what I can and can't do.

Do any of you do any HIIT training and have any good programs? I am about to have 10 weeks off work that will be for the most part gym focused and am wondering whether I should incorporate this into the extra time that I will have.

Pretty much back to where I was before my revision surgery which is good, but just started another 6 month block of shifts and once again have no real idea how to program around my 4 week / 4 days on, 6 off, 4 nights on, 4 off, 3 days on, 3 nights on, 4 off pattern. Considering having a consultation with 3DMJ or something as I don't want/need full-time coaching and they do an service for non-competitors who just want some structure/accountability but only require irregular check-ups.
 
Training is going as well as it has for a long time, down 24 lbs sitting at 213 at the moment (yes... I bloated up to 237!!) Another 11 weeks (this Saturday) until I get married and head off to mexico on Honeymoon... looking at coming in at around 190 - 195

Dreadfully. So busy, and travelling a lot so have had little time other than once or twice at the weekend. :(

Going to have to bite the bullet and start training at 5am again. Thought I could do it when I get home, but I don't get home till 730-8 so pretty much not going to happen.

As long as you build up sensibly. Concentrate on form etc all will be ok. I don't consider what I'm lifting to be outstanding but I'm reasonably happy with my progress. Stick another 50 to 60 kilos on and I'll be much happier but there are people out there the same weight and lighter than me that are lifting 400 kilos plus.
 
Really starting to feel the effects of my cutting now. Struggling more on my lifts and am hungry most of the time. At least I'm seeing the results!

hmm... yes you are right. I will start dead lifting today with 10 kg both sides

It's probably an obvious point but are the 10kg and 20kg plates the same size in your gym? If the 10kg plates are smaller then remember to use the spacer/training plates to ensure you're starting from the correct height and not accidentally giving yourself some form of deficit deadlifts to do.
 
Why did I think it'd be a good idea to program in high rep front squats!?
