    Ah, today was a bit good.

    Squat - Everything felt heavy but got done! Going back to square one is slightly disheartening but also really fun. I've learned a lot since first squatting at this weight so applying that can only be a good thing!

    Shure why don't you leave it for 10 weeks instead and come test with me then? Maybe Santa will bring us both a nice PR :pac:

    The Return of the Pink Panther Returns.....


    Training has been fairly shit the last while. Decided in January to cut some weight as I was a bit of a fat bastard after Christmas. 1st of Jan, I was 82.3kg; 6th of Feb I was 76.2kg. So that went well. Since then, I've lost another 2kg or so but strength has plummeted and motivation dampened. Getting back to it now. Lower numbers and I'm a fair bit smaller. But fuck it; plenty of work to be done!


    Bench
    Bar x 10, 8
    40kg x 5
    50kg x 3
    60kg x 1
    70kg x 5

    80kg x 5
    82.5kg (3x3) - Last rep on all three sets were hard.

    Tuesday

    Trained in Carlisle with the missus to teach her the lifts. Didn't get too much done. Squatted a top set of 115kg x 5 and did some curls n'crap. She did well though. Her third time squatting and she got 5 reps at 47.5kg which is almost 90% bodyweight. So I didn't get much done but left with a silly, proud head on me. Awful gym though; I don't know how people can train there.


    Tonight

    DB Bench
    27.5kg (3x8) - Last few reps were tough enough.

    My lifts have obviously gone to shit. So I went to RevFit a month ago to get help cos I couldn't get strong again by myself. Tested my numbers at the time and got:

    Squat - 130kg
    Bench - 92.5kg
    Deadlift - 160kg


    Tested again today.

    Squat - 155kg - all-time pr of 5kg and my first double bodyweight squat!
    Bench - 100kg

    And totally couldn't deadlift because of being fried from the squatting. But last week deadlifted 150kg x 5.

    So, uh, yeah.... Fu    cking happy!
