That little celebration you do before resting / collapsing on the bench. That’s is that best feeling ever.
Well done. Genuinely just well done.

You are not wrong sir. Part sheer relief of getting the bar off my back and part joy of getting the job done.

I am very glad I am not squatting today. Lower back is all kinda jacked up. Dont think is anything to worry about just soreness.

Get out of the rack once done… there’s others waiting! 
Lolz, great stuff here fella.
Mate - no one is coming anywhere near the rack when I am there. They all think I am some crazy old bloke.

To be fair - you are doing SS. That does place question marks next to your sanity.

Two days off from SS coming up. You’ll be right.
I thought that last week and on Monday I was like a zombie. I need to get more sleep this weekend and eat better. Can you send me some salmon. LOL

Friday 20th May - SS W4.3
Seated BNP
62.5 x 10 x 3 sets ( 138 lbs ) - 8, 8, 7
Shoulders were on fire. LOL. Good to go up in weight and have some reps to chase.
Bench
95 x 12 x 3 sets (209 lbs) - 12, 11, 10
Chest and shoulder were burning. 1 extra rep, only 1 but it is still progress so I will take it.
Bent over row
90 x 15 x 2 sets(198 lbs) - 12, 12
Just did 12 on these tonight, trying so save my lower back.
Barbel curl
47.5 x 10 x 2 sets - 10, 10
Welcome to swing city, still bad at curls and still don’t like them. I like the arm pump though.
Squat
Bar x 10
70 x 5
90 x 3
110 x 2
130 x 20 (286 lbs) - 12 rest 4 rest 5 - total 21
My upper body was so sore and tight, I could barely get my arms back and under the bar to get in position. I was still happy with this. I knew tonight was going to be tough and just wanted to have a good go at it. Lower back really feeling these from the first rep. Called it at 12 when I probably had a couple more but if I did them I wouldn’t have come back and finished the rest.
Dumbell pullover
30 x 20 - 20
SLDL
130 x 15 - 12
Dumbell pull over
30 x 20 - 20
Abs - some
Happy with tonight. I missed the squat but not because of any anxiety of mind games. The body was just fked. I as genuinely thinking yesterday that my back was rooted and I would not train today. It was still sore today but nowhere near as bad. Just gritted my teeth and got on with the work. Turns out the hardest part of the session was trying to get under the bar. My shoulders were totally locked up and I had zero mobility. Oh well that will teach me to add body weight.
Weight tonight was 92.6kg - 204 lbs - up just over a pound from last week but I know I was a little dehydrated today. Didn’t drink enough water through the day and had a couple of extra black coffees. Still getting heavier so happy overall.

Thanks Tim, that’s what I thought too, save my back to hit this harder on Monday but still get the reps overall tonight. 2 weeks or 6 sessions to go.
