as an aside, how many calories do you reckon a stronglifts session burns? MFP doesnt recognise weights as burning calories :(

Nah, I dropped 1stone and my strength went up. If you're worried that getting lean is impacting things then adjust your calories slightly so that you're still losing but not at an alarming rate or anything like that. Otherwise just focus a lot more on technique and don't be afraid to drop the weight back slightly and increase the volume and then keep progress the next intended weight with the current rep scheme.
 
good session today, hit all my targets :D

Good news is that's a total of 7,427.5kg lifted.
Bad news is that the scales at the gym confirmed the new set at home are accurate and I'm 2kg heavier than I thought I was :(

at least i got the weight off the ground this time!

4630kg total lifted.
 
yeah, I think squats are definitely my strongest lift. bench is weaksauce atm.

strstd.com has most of my lifts getting toward 'novice' level, minus bench which might as well just say 'small child'.
 
Not a great day today in terms of meeting targets, but I feel like I've still had a good workout, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

First time I've failed a squat set, although it was more of a 'that last rep was dire, I'm not gonna attempt the next one because it will be the worst rep ever.'
