Leg session to forget tonight 
No power and failure on 100KG squat for the first time = sad panda. Not really sure what happened, i'll chalk it down to just being 'one of those' nights.

wow, very impressive! Pity i cant do them.. I managed to tear something in my chest from overdoing them a few years ago and now I just get a sharp pain when I do them

Oh how I miss doing weighed dips.
it's such a great exercise
It sure is, something a lot of people never really add weight to which is a shame.

What do you mean by overdoing them? Too much weight or bad technique? You gotta go down slow with heavy weight, if you dive bomb it's over...

I think I did too many and my form messed up. I just felt a tear in the middle of my chest and that was that.. Couldn't even hold my weight without a stabbing pain.

Plates did look pretty interesting!
25kgx2,20kgx1,10x1,5x1
25kgx2,20kgx1,10x1,5x1
Exploding ankle does not win, however
It's really sore today, good job I'm seeing my physio tomorrow!

Has anyone ever eaten swordfish? Texture is similar to chicken apparently?
It's hardly "from height" when it's only at knee/shin level of the final rep of a set. It's not a big deal. Saves potentially doing any damage by going into too much deficit.
To be fair to some of the PT's in my gym, they know their stuff and actually weight lift themselves.
Yep, quite nice. It's a fairly solid flesh, not flakey like haddock or cod etc. Wouldn't have said it was like chicken but not like fish we're used to in UK.

Good article for people like me who get bored in the gym.
Funnily I was doing incline sprints the other night execpt 15seconds sprint 20 seconds rest and at 15% and for 20+ reps. Only takes 15 or so minutes and your dying. Good for an alternative to HIIT.

^^ Any circuit will do, it's just about being creative.
I'll make some of my clients do something like:
10 burpee's to jumping pullups
20KG plate floor push (across carpet)
Farmers Walk (around the gym)
1min of pushing against the belt on the treadmill (treadmill off)
Dead!! lol
