Ta! And funnily enough I've recently went shopping for jeans and below is a result of the progress, my thighs make most jeans look like skinny jeans :eek: My friend suggested I skip a few leg days :D

Ha I've gone through two pairs of suit trousers this year for that same reason, not cheap to keep replacing them :(

Mish mash of bits tonight, tried to do 6 x 2 on squats but failed 5th set and since someone was waiting for the rack I bailed. Thought I throw in some DB OHP to build that back up, not really where else to go in terms of improving that lift :confused:

Will look into those presses and maybe swap them with the OHP.

Tonight:

Wow, that feel when humbled by the bar and having to bail, 4th set of 125 squats was interesting, 1st rep pushed out the rep fine, felt explosive if anything then when it comes to the 2nd slight pause at bottom grinded up slightly then had to bail :(. After that dropped down to 100kg which then felt heavy as anything. Everything else which followed was a slight grind hence the drop in weight compared previous.

So I thought I try out this 'train fasted' malarkey, yea I am suffering :D

Couldn't hit the volume on squats and even bailed on the last rep, bench went ok but felt light headed/faint on the 4th set of rows so didn't finish do the 5th set, not really sure I should do this faster training thing...

Fasted training becomes much easier after a week or so. :)

I can only realistically do it once as week due to how everything is set up, so will give it a few sessions to see how it goes.

Weird session of sorts, went with a few colleagues so not majorly focused, did however hit a new PB on bench which I can't complain about.

Messed about trying to learn some calisthenic bits from a colleague who does a lot of it

Tried to keep the rest period on the working of squats to 90 secs, that slaughtered me somewhat (last two sets were 2min then 2.5 min rests).

On deadlifts hamstrings didn't want to fire for the first few warmup reps but once I got going I was knackered
