missing the DB rows and split squats; I had to run to make a dentist appt. Pity the gym doesnt open earlier than 10 on a saturday. I think I can actually do the rows and split squats at home though so I might do them later. I'll check what dumbbells I have hanging around

Time to make some conzy burgers

:D
Dundrum butcher had some 20 euro family meat deal thing. I think I got a chicken, 4 fillets, 4 pork chops, a load of mince, and something else.
And then i got 3x sirloin steaks for 10 euro
sorted...

I ate the conzy burgers too fast to take pics. You can take my word for it they're awesome

spent more time "setting up" for the DLs and I think my feet were too close before today

good stuff. I was actually having doubts I could manage it today and then I did

I think I'm gonna have to add in a 4th day a week and throw the bent over rows and SLDLs and machine curls into it

[Deleted User]

went for a jog anyway
got the worst stitch ever but other than that it was going really well. did a bit more than 3.5km
then walked the doggy our 4.2km route except I really wanted my dinner so we did some intervals on the way back... :pac:

Pick up the 45 fixed barbell, bring it across the gym to free space where I can work... do 2 sets and realise it's the thick bar I can barely close my hand over, not the narrower one ... go and check the narrower one for 45kg is there, it is, drag that across the gym, bring the other one back, do some more sets... that is totally a workout on its own

Nailed those deadlifts. Pew pew! I was finding them hard last week so I'm happy about that. Knees are trying to go in slightly but correcting straight away, or trying to.

yeah if i even add 1kg to last time's session it'll be some miracle

well today was probably a lesson to warm up properly
squats were easy
DL 50 was light as a feather

then i went to pick up set 1 rep 1 of 80, set up properly, went to lift it, "holy sh!t this is really fcuking heavy!!" and let go :rolleyes:
then set 2 i could only manage 2 reps instead of 3 and then I got really pissed off and went HULK SMASH

^ slow jog; last minute was sprinting.
Was totally in the ZONE until the 45 min mark. I missed that.
I'm really really excited that I can (still) jog an hour. I'm not unfit! yay! :pac:

That was a bit mad Ted, jumping from 50 straight to 80's

Have you a time frame in mind for the magic 100? I'll be rooting for ya so bad!
And ditto on the bench. Think I'll be 50 before I'll get 50kg. Even though I'm kinda liking it these days. Just going nowhere with it ha, ha.
