I’m the only one in my house that hasn’t got that and i’m not looking forward to it coming my way. Hope it doesn’t cause you too many issues.

It’s strange, I have no associated illness at all just a throaty cough that intermittently crops up and goes away as quick

Went to physio appointment, having some niggles but generally my shoulder is so much better. Starting to fill out a bit now. Tricep strength was measured and no real improvement from last time but had improved massively last time so little bit more to do on that front. Also going to add in some daily rotator cuff work specifically on external rotation as that’s coming up weak.
Thanks @alex_uk however unfortunately I can see I’ve made a typo
I would like to be doing 163kg for 10 but that was a single… The widowmaker for 20 definitely wasn’t a typo, I felt every rep of that one.

Her ladyship is out tonight and then taking the youngest out tomorrow afternoon so lifting is out of the equation tomorrow. Cut the dead’s supplemental a little short as was feeling pretty beat up.

Didn’t get through as much as planned, the widowmaker ripped it out of me even though I’d left it comparatively late in the workout. Will catch the core work back on Friday.

Funny how used to training stimulus the body gets, I woke up this morning with zero soreness despite the widowmaker yesterday.

Good session, enjoyed that. Nice doing dead’s late morning rather than early morning, seemed to make a difference as weights felt very light.

Managed to squeeze this in before the kids got up, just what Santa would want on Christmas Day - a nice widowmaker.
And the same to you, hope you and the family have a good day.
On that note Merry Christmas to all my other t-nation fam
