Thoughts: need to really work on my squats. A lot. Have a training partner now who's at a similar level so that'll be helpful. Gonna stick to front squats for a while as they're a bit kinder on the injured part of my back.

Found this and have been getting into it a bit. Headstands are easy and i can manage handstands against a wall, starting to get the hang of moving away from the wall now. Been working on L-Sits too, pretty hard yokes.

I would, but I really can't row at all with this back injury. It's the years of rowing that've made me develop a bulging disc, and now doing the rowing motion for anything longer than 5 minutes, even at a light pace, strains it. I'm trying to sort it out and maybe get back into it next season, but I'm not going back until it's fully sorted.

Actually the scales I was using in my gym was wrong and telling me I was heavier than I actually was!
