-heavy gravity day? nah someone put black 25kg plates in the 20kg zone in the squat rack. Didn’t pick it until after first 5’s set… oops. Didn’t notice racking them on the barbell either… getting stronger maybe? haha - lesson learnt!
-BW 68.5kg this am, dropped nearly 4kg since peak a few months back. Suprised by that. Less food during chest infection (no appetite). Still pushing the lifts though so here’s hoping there’s mainly fat/water loss in those numbers. Strength down slightly but no biggie, to be expected with some weight loss.
-cheers @TM79 getting the work done amongst chaos of work as xmas approaches. Conditioning brutal but it’s gotta be done!
Really glad to see that you were a back posting
At my gym, good luck on finding the plates in the right place. They’re all over.

-still have doms in glutes post squats two days ago, dang.
-much better after working thru conditioning
-solid weekend, lawns mowed, gutters cleaned, plenty of family time.
I live vicariously through your OHP PRs! Nicely done!
Congrats on that OHP PR! I usually don’t get more than one grindy rep on that lift. Maybe two. Glad you got the lawn mowed and gutters cleaned.
Thanks @burien_top_team was suprised I had that in me after this week. Just lock the core and glutes and get to it… circa 66% BW for 7reps… reads better than 45kg…
@throwawayfitness appreciate the following as always. That 500lbx5 lift & vid of your squat… crazy good there!
Thanks @TM79 , spring means lots of growth here, and the gutters get ignored a bit too often at home!
Nice PR on those OHPs! Those are always tough to come by.
That wouldn’t be tolerated at the gym I go to, all plate go back and colours are not mixed.

-sunday off, finished painting. Whole house is now fully painted. It’s taken so long to finish the painting, it’s probably time to touch up other rooms we renovated years ago…
-kept TM the same for cycle 2, as I work back into 531.
-felt the DL effort a few hours later… all good.
-tag @Serge_A_Storms as you’re back on the forums - great to see
