Good news.
I feel I’m ready to get on a program and start building back up again. Back rehab is still a work in progress but that can continue at the same time. I’ve de trained for sure so there’ll be some muscle memory involved but will take some work to gain back muscle and strength.
Today I hit a deload session with squats bench and deadlifts and back feels great following a core and glute focused warm up.
Will run the Calgary Barbell 16 week program and might transition into trying out the Sheiko Gold programming app.
I’m pretty fat but I don’t think it makes sense to cut seeing as I want to regain muscle and strength. Can always lose weight later.

I’ll feed it Calgary barbell program for a bit yum yum yum.
Get the app 30 days before you intend to start using its programming.
For the first 30 days the app won’t do any programming for you, you continue with your current programming and the app tracks your sets, reps, rpe (based on your inputs ofcourse, not automatically) your readiness scores etc to get an idea of your strength and tolerance to stress and overload. Once it has 30 days of lifting and recovery data then it will start programming for you.

Deadlifts today at Doherty’s City gym with a mate.
Calgary Barbell 16 Week Program called for 127.5kg 4x7 because I set my max at like 200 hunnit to be safe as I build back up from back injury but was pretty ez so hit the rest of the sets at 3 biscuits/140kg. Equal to heaviest weight I’ve deadlifted during rehab but it moved better than before so that’s progress.
Technique is coming along and positioning is improving. Will aim to hit these positions with hook grip instead of straps in future.
Inputting training into the Sheiko Gold app and later on down the track after it has enough data it’ll start generating training for me.

Technique looking absolutely solid. Expecting the weight to bounce back quickly here.

One of those too hot for this shit days and so windy that we have to walk with eyes squinted. Bushfires all over now so I’m hoping all you Aussies stay safe.
Curse of @Pinkylifting strikes again. Not my back thankfully but my knee was bugging me on the first working set of squats so called squats there. Did bench and deadlift from tomorrow’s workout instead and I can do them aight.
Deadlift slippys are fun but my hook grip is off af and my shins and thighs are bleeding all over the place so mixed bag.
Not a particularly good workout and I was looking forward to hitting some squats and variations. Not gonna call this an injury but is annoying.
Comp Squat 110kg
Spoto Press 80kg
TnG Bench 75kg
Pause Deadlift 125kg
Stiff Leg Deadlift 105kg
Barbell Shrugs 100kg
Chest Supported Rows

It’s more 50:50 pot luck than a straight up curse, you’ll either get crazy strong, or get injured. Surely that’s worth a punt?
I dunno bro ur 2 for 2
Flip a coin, get heads twice 
maybe your ligaments and tendons are just made of glass lol.
But after a reasonable period off from really heavy stuff, i do often get a little slight pain in my knees when I initially push heavier. I’ve always chalked it up to a little inflammation, if I don’t push it to the point of real pain it goes after a short while.

Knees feeling kinda funky still. Went a bit lighter and threw on some knee sleeves to get in some easy work. Ditching the oly shoes might have helped also. Hoping that the knee is nothing but a niggle. We’ll see.
Bench feeling good though. Spoto pressing drills and imagining a t shirt press is good for tightness.
Solid sesh.

Solid SBD session today at Doherty’s Campbellfield.
Deadlifts felt heavy on the stiff bar after using the noodle bar for a while. Felt heavy-ish-er but decent work nonetheless.
1/2 way down pause squat is interesting. Did a bit of em not too long ago. Real good for technique and positioning development but I can tend to cut the squat high after the pause.
Back felt aight. Knee felt not quite aight but better. Not sure if it’s from squatting in flats.

Mixed bag today. Probably shouldn’t have eaten a fucktonne before going in the workout. Noticed massive hip shift while squatting staying off my funky knee and weaker left side. Is disgusting lol so will need to fix that up.
On the positive side hit a top set of 160kg x 3 paused deadlift which is the heaviest deadlift of any sort done since back injury.
Straps help maybe a bit too much and I’ve been over reliant on them so hook grip needs some work also to bring it back up. Positioning is much better wi straps because of some slack/length in it making it an inch or two block pull. Observe:
