Those look good, but why do I suspect you are going to tell us they are filled with marzipan?

Thank you my friends, itās been a hectic day today.
My mom has had severe pain in her leg for 2 - 3 month, it became so bad that sheād spend all day in bed for about a week. She didnāt eat very much and the doctors didnāt really do anything.
At last I got them to take some X rays and the found some tumors or something like that in her thighbone.
They took some blood and they came back with some bad numbers.
So mom got to the ER, while I was at work dealing with a demonstration.
I just got home a couple of hours ago and had to sort things out. Mom is in a after the circomstances good position, whatever that meansā¦ I canāt visit her because of the Covid thing going on.
So for now I have be patient.
The cakes I pictured was my wifes āNaugty Hornsā and Yes itās marzipan and nuts and dark chocolate. They are awesome. We made some hot dogs when I came home and in a minute Iām going to have my birthday cake. Pictures to come.
So itās a birthday to remember.
Should have deadlifted and squatted today, Iāll have to do that tomorrow. I havenāt checked my log, but I think itās the first time this year I had to postpone a workout, otherwise Iāve been lifting every other day.
Might have to postpone more workouts in the future depending on what happens next.

Really sorry to hear that your birthday has been overshadowed by these scary news.
All the best to you and your mother!
Hopefully the restrictions will be lifted soon to the point where you can see her.

Sorry to hear about your mom. I know itās been rough sailing since your dad passed. I hope itās something they can treat. The good thing about the issue being in her legs means itās not close to any vital organs.
Skip a workout. Drink a beer or three. Be human.

Oh boy I thought 5 reps at 130 would cruch me, the single with 142 was freaking heavy, then I said fuck it at ripped away, 4 easy, 1 good 1 hard maybe even one more in me but it was hard.
Took a little longer rest on squat so got 5 sets of 10 with 75 kg I think my soul left me on the fourth set.
Assistance was fine last rep on incline was a little tough, chinups all sets close to failure.
Mom is good, thanks for the welll wishes, I canāt visit her. Damnit. I hope they will sort her out, would like a year or two more with her.

Damn thatās a jump from last sessionās deadlift. And with more pull-ups and presses. Good job!
Very Nice!
Thatās actually the secret to getting through it.

Iām following the 531 plan.
week 1: 127,5 kg, week 2: 135 kg and this week 142,5 kg.
Goal: 10, 8 and 6 reps.
Next cycle more weight on presses, less reps adding a rep per set each week, chins and pull ups adding a single rep somewhere, Iām hoping to be able to get to 6 sets of 10 reps and a single set of 15.
