    Lifting plates onto machines = fine. Lifting kids out of the bath = pain. Front loaded lifting is where the pain is but keeping things close to centre of gravity is grand.

    Leg press: 185kg for 4x8. Started hard but improved.

    Calf raise: 110kg for 4x8. Got hard in the end.

    Hamstring curl: 40kg for 8, 8, 5, 6. Ugh.

    Machine chest press: 117.5kg for 8, 8. Warmups were hard but top set ended up being too easy.

    Chest supported row: 3x8 @ 45kg. Grand.

    Jm press: 3x8 @ 55kg

    Larsen press: 87.5kg for 6, 6, 5, 4. Hard.

    Incline DB press: 27.5kg for 8, 10. Grand.

    Kroc row: 3x8 @ 40kg. First time doing these in years. Ok but unsure if using too much body language.

    Lat pulldown: 65kg for 7, 7, 7. Grand.

    Belt squat: 75kg for 8, 15. Was fine weight-wise, but tiring.

    Hamstring curl: 40kg for 9, 7. Hard.

    Skipped calf raise because leg press was in use.

    Feeling courageous so decided to try some compounds to see how the body reacts. Got to the gym late so not much time to mess around.

    Paused HB squats: worked up to 3x5 @ 80kg. Heels (I'm a flats squatter) and beltless. Was fine.

    Floor press/pullup: 3x 5/5 @ 80kg/BW. Floor pressing my squat now.

    JM press/chinup: 2x 5/5 @ 60kg/BW. Grand.

    Compound confidence still there because my torso didn't explode after Monday.

    Snatch grip RDLs: 100kg for 3, 2, 2. Locking down my shoulder blades and using some back extension. Weight was easy to move but my grip has all but vanished and I refuse to wear straps for 100kg. I'll RDL again but not with snatch grip.

    Bench: 1x1 @ 100kg. First time benching with leg drive since injury. Glad I still have some strength.

    Larsen press: 2x10 @ 70kg. Grand.

    Incline DB press: 30kg for 6, 6. Hard.

    One arm DB rows: 40kg for 2x6. Hard.

    Hamstring curl: 40kg for 10, 6. Ugh.

    Calf raise: 115kg for 8, 8. Grand.
