I broke my back earlier in the year
(not literally of course but some kind of **** injury, combined with long term lordosis/bad posture in general) so i'm working back into it. Squats are a total no go atm too.100kg is still not too bad. Tough for sets, more in the tank for a 1RM. I'd bet i'm somehow not too far off my PB
Understand. work it up over a LONG period then. Been there before....

IIFYM - My favourite diet - Phaggy time blog post
My diet varies day to day, with the only real constants being breakfast and post workout shake(on gym days). Recently most lunches have consisted of leftovers from the night before which makes life easier.
I don't even bother to add things up any more, at least no more than roughly in my head, i just eat a lot and it seems to work for me.
However let's take yesterday for example
Breakfast:
100g Muesli (no oats to be found, rip)
25g whey
Pint or so of milk
Lunch:
+ a block of cheese
+ a handful of almonds
+ a mince pie
+ a banana
That coffee is amazing btw ^
Sunday Dinner:
Best part of 300g lamb
Parsnips, yorkshire puds etc etc
Evening:
PB on toast
25g whey with milk
Rough macros:
3300cals 210g protein 120g fat 300g carbs
Come at me chicken+rice people

Nice volume on the leg press!
Which version do you have? The more horizontal one. Or the sit underneath one?

Ah ok. Fair enough.
We have some weird thing which is horizontal, and the seat moves rather than the leg plate... Very odd...

Yeah. Gym is clearly just poorly aimed towards legs....
No powerack, poor press... Does have a leg extension though...
