Planning to keep lifting near my max to get my body used to the weight, hopefully slowly increasing the weight. Triples I don't think I can go past 140, so I probably probably stick to doubles and singles like above.

Just worked on squats today and did some stretching. My legs still feel pretty fatigued and I was finding I had to use a lot of effort to stabilise the knees because of this.

A good low volume session tonight with a nice deadlift PB thrown in

200x1
230x1 - felt good.
250x1 - PB - whoa, what a difference an extra 20kg makes. Felt leagues heavier than 230. Nailed it though, more comments with the video.
Weighted Chins - Palms facing in
BWx6
20x5
25x5
30x5
Wide grip pull ups
8,8,7
My form obviously breaks at this weight, but I felt no discomfort, no lower back pump. It was actually a PB where I came away feeling really good. I could have probably been tighter, which would have mitigated some of the slack that was taken when I lifted. Also, first time I've ever had to squeeze the lock out. Given a few months I think I could tidy it up, but overall I'm pleased with a 3xbodyweight deadlift.

Almost ran out of bar space because I used loads of 10s!

I find it shocking how I'm just short of that (81/82kg) and look nothing remotely like yourself
Hilarious really!

Nice work mate I'd watch the nodding while you squat mind
The depth is lovely, really need to hit mine hard.

Yea the nodding is a funny one, I'll nip that in the bud.

Just thinking of tightness really, it's just something that happens I guess! My elbows decide they want to wobble all over the place on my heavier squats I've found

Nodding is fantastic!
Also, how many people were watching?!
