squats 125kg 5-5-5-5-5 4th set 3rd rep i shifted forwards a little which put strain on my right shoulder, felt it immediately, corrected no issue. plenty left in there
deadlift 60kgs 5-5-5-5-5 hook grip. i think my shoulder issue is actually fore arm related hence playing with hook grip amongst other things

over the weekend i had a tiring time: friday night got in fell asleep and then could not sleep later so got 5 hours or so split in two chunks then to work got home had two bbq birthdays to attend, had triple choc cheesecake at one (2 pieces, homemade so i know what is in it. wheat free!) then i had some alcohol, 2nd time this year i think. then hit the night club which was actually poor. late start sunday felt tired all day (no hangover though) due to late start i passed on gym.
bit of a carb and general food overall increase which resulted in:
squat 130kgs PR 5-5-5-5-5 good depth throughout and my unstable knee was still ok. following all the jumping around saturday i was worried it might be too iffy but done good. tomorrow am aiming to do press and deadlift, shoulder has improved massively except for a new pain, but i think that is due to spine slipping out of alignment (feels like it) so tomorrow is a trial day to see if it is reasonable to hit the weights hard again. (gradually of course)

back to the squats! just worked my way up with sets of 5 to see what i should do next session 20 40 60 80 100 120kgs next session aiming to do 120 5x5 and hopefully in a couple of weeks get a new PR at 140kg (old one 130 but 140 is 3 wheels a side so why not)
they've moved the squat rack! it no longer faces the mirror so i can't judge depth that way, going by hams touching calves right now, but am going to moan about it next time i'm in i think. also squatting in some converse as my old trainers were dying a death....last year...just got new ones with no heel elevation
shoulder press just the bar 10-10-10-10 annoyingly this has sparked my "shoulder issue" which i believe is a bicep tendon issue really.
chiropractor thinks so and he is very good so i believe him going to get it sorted some time soon

well the squat rack is back again which is good
squats 120kg 5-5-5-5-5
deadlifts same as last squat session just building up 5 reps at 60 80 100 then two more sets of 5
funny thing throughout my whole session there was a guy on the cable crossover and then incline bench. he watched my entire session. then after my last set of deadlifts he said in an incredulous voice
"you just deadlifted 100kgs!!!"
funny how 120kg squat is much heavier but the deadlift is what made him comment?

ok missed a few days so will update last two sessions: sunday after night club... DL 110kgs 5x5 press 60kgs 5x5
today squat 130kgs 5x5 press 65kgs 5-4-5-5-4
got two more training sessions this week then on holiday for a week and no training (or at least heavy work) so will use that as a rest week. want to hit PR's before then so am thinking of going 5x3 on press next two sessions. same for squat or i might do 1RM work ad see what i can do on that.
undecided at present, any feedback welcome :-)

shoulder press 70kg barbell 3-3-3-3-3 this is almost what i was doing before so felt good to do this again deadlift 120kgs 5-5-5 overhand grip then had to change to mixed grip 5-5 mixed bag really, i used to do 120kg deadlifts as part of a cardio session so it sucks to be finding them really hard. although my press as said is almost back where it was not sure how to feel about that. ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) anyway i've decided saturday i'm going to do 3x3 aiming for PR's before i have a week off training heavy (imagine i'll fit some conditioning work in for fun though) so squat 3 reps 130kg should be easy then add weight for 3 reps and one final set at even more weight for 3 reps. same for press and again for DL this way i hit the three big moves in my last training session. might see if i can get some chocolate covered coffee beans for pre and peri workout "nutrition" ;D

shoulder seems to be fine, seems to be a bruised bicep tendon tbh, the shoulder issue must have been a symptom rather than the actual problem. been missing updates i'm afraid for some time, but not a lot of exciting stuff going on. have managed 140kg squats 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 which felt great but when i tried to hit 5x5 my second set i lost balance and landed on my left knee...i had not set the squat rack to height as my first set was fine so lucky the bars did catch it at all. bruised knee now for some reason ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png) deadlifts are at 140kg managed to do 3x3 all double overhand grip so my grip is stronger than ever. currently using volume training to build some strength for a few sessions and also because while i gained great progress with straight sets it also cost me 5000 calories a day in food and i gained some weight hitting 18 stone 9 at heaviest, don't really want to do this again as having no clothes to wear is not cool. i'm pretty easily maintaining 18 stone these days. press is 70 for 5 reps again and i've just restarted my strongman style conditioning workouts again, no vids so far as i suck at present!
