They started on something I've not even cleaned with a bar, let alone come anywhere near putting over head! I'll stick to the three things I can actually do. Oh wait, make that two things :D

I'd have put money on your log shooting up in the next few months anyway.

My strict definitely will, though I have a feeling im just at a "normal" mans natural level than anything excessive.
Push press will depends on my knees, be nice to put 10kg on by summer though.

If you stop being so knee dominant (based entirely on assumption, not having seen you try a PP! :D ) you could manage this in a month. :p ;) :D

So gutted about the mini-meet. :(

Training 08/04/13

I was looking forward to smashing some weights today, despite an extreme level of fatigue and a crumbling immune system. This enthusiasm waned fairly quickly, but not before I'd committed to a protocol guaranteed to kill me.

Mobility
Hundreds. Definitely coming up for a deload.

Squats
bar x lots
60x12
100x5
140x5
160x2
180x1 90 second rests so far, slightly longer into
195x2 went up like a rocket. Time to punish this success. Less than 2 mins between all of the next sets, sometimes a lot less :(
195x2
195x2
195x2
195x2 slowing down! Also feeling so tired that I'm almost numb
195x2
195x2
**** off squats

Bench
bar x lots
60x8
95x5x5
Feeling better PB. Got a bro to keep an eye on any rotation, of which there was a bit. It's going to take a while to learn where straight is.

High bar squats
bar x 10
60x5
100x5
130x5
155x5x3 PB
Hard, but nice.

Press ups onto band suspended in a rack

These are amazing!

Fatigue

Despite the short rests on the squats, this wasn't a quick session. Lot's of mobility didn't help, but mostly it's because I was absolute destroyed after the squats. Just horrible.

7 sets KD, 7.

Cheers chaps.

Morba, I think my mate got them from Defranco, but I'm not 100% sure.

Immune system rebooted overnight. Today will be a day of food.

Training 10/04/13

Just ridiculous amounts of fatigue. More sleep last night, bit I think I need about 24 hours straight...

Deads
bar x lots
100x5 not feeling great
140x5 poor
140x5 better
180x1 sloooooowwwww
200x1 fast off the floor, then my weird hip flexor thing kicked in above my knee. No pain because I completely switched off when I felt it. Momentum PB? Decided to leave it, stay mostly unsnapped and take a mini deadlift deload.

Deadlift stance good morning
100x8
130x8x4
These are brutal!

Dips
bw x 10
20x8
50x8x3 PB
50x6 nothing left in the tank!
Short rests still. Gains.

OHP
50x8
60x6x3

BOR
60x12
80x12x2
100x6x3
80x12
That'll teach my stupid body to not let me deadlift

Skull crushers
bar+32.5x12, 10, 10

Tricep rope up/down superset
12/12
12/12
12/12

Utterly spent. Full 1 or 2 week deload coming up!
