Yea 
The weaker left leg really won't be helping squats at all.

Yea started with my right leg.
Don't think doing my left leg first will make a difference. These aren't that taxing, my left leg just found the weight more difficult.
Anything you can suggest to bring the left leg up to speed?
As I said, the exercise isn't exhausting me, so I'm still fresh going onto the left leg. Also exhaustion doesn't mean weakness.
Might do some reverse DB lunges as well for good measure.
There's also a high chance of falling over which adds to the fun.
Try the sofa?
Training went well tonight.

8 years lol
Only ever once a week, although I've done it twice a week recently. 
Yea it's not been 8 years of the kind of training I do now. I spent years with poor diet and no clue. As you said I did quite a bit if traveling which meant more set backs. Since I now work from home I have time to get things right.
So really happy and confident with my bench and my deadlift also. Just need to bring my squat up to scratch and I'll be on track.
Ice, going to get a membership to GBPF in Jan, but looking at the events there isn't much on. Will they announce more in the new year?

I'll probably just keep an eye on localish comps and see when they fall, then decide to go.
Going to take today off the gym and see if I can knock this cold on the head. It's really draining me and making recovery horrible.
I'm taking vit c and zinc. I'm going to pick up manuka honey too.
It's not bad, but it's definitely draining which isn't great for training. I could train, but I know it will drag this on for a while.

Tonight I'm planning to do some squats and deads, won't be going crazy but it's the first time I've done them both on the same day, so should be fun.
The only way I'd get a PB is 170x5 squat and 210x5 deads. On the same day still recovering from a cold? Seems legit....
Ain't nuttin but a Delvis.
