    I'm probably imagining a much greater curve on the bar but does it feel ok on the wrists?

    Quite enjoyed that. Bit stiff after training yesterday but taking a holiday next Thurs so want to get this and the next weeks training done before then. Pull felt pretty crisp once I blew off the cobwebs... infinitely more comfortable pulling off a deficit than I am off blocks of any height. All singles because want to continue to expose myself to the breathing and sequencing of the start position instead of getting sloppy with reps. Deadlift stance box squats are a killer... really focusing on loading the posterior chain and holding tension as reverse off the box. Feels so unnatural squatting with a deadlift stance. Everything else was graaaaaaand enough

    Second time ever doing farmers walks and it shows but a hell of a lot more fun than doing step ups etc. Felt achey coming into the session and left feeling better then I have all week... holy crap these things hit you in places you never knew existed!

    Knee slowly but surely coming back around and tolerating loading better and better each week - last comp feels like it was a million years ago now and 150kg felt like 250kg on my back but all good things come to those who say 'f*ck you' to quitting

    Amazing what a green shake, 9hrs sleep and a double espresso will do for you...

    Best upper session since I tweaked my pec. Still a little tentative with the benching but not being aggressive off the chest is probably helping keep everything tight and every triple with 120 moved pretty smooth. Thats three days in a row deadlifting now... felt much better today than yesterday (sleep).

    If all goes to plan will squat light tomorrow then its 5 days sipping pints in Bavaria on the menu :)

    Squatting felt ok - Probably could have pushed to 10 reps each set. Would like to build back up to 12-15 reps at this weight before I concern myself with doing any actual heavy work.

    Front squats felt pretty good too, again left a couple reps in the tank and would just like to build back up to working sets around 140kg.

    Farmers are fast becoming my favoirite exercise ever... would love to take 120kg each hand for a run next week :)

    Chins because I havent done any since I hurt my pec doing them last year so will just keep doing easy sets of low reps and build them back up with a view to doing some weighted stuff down the line.
