I think some of my knee issues is just poor flexibility/mobility/whatever through all ranges of motion. They tighten up so easily.

You need help. You are special mate ![]()
Whats the Hatfield part?
Hopefully its a 90kilo band frim the ceiling to lighten the load!
Haha. Nah hands on the rack in front to aid in stability.
How are you holding the weight then?
Using an Safety Squat Bar mate. Check out the IG post above. 3rd video.
SSb’s balance themselves once loaded. It’s not really a single leg exercise in the way that it sounds like it is. It’s still two legs being used. Probably about 70-80% of my equivalent back squat strength. Maybe closer to 75

Pretty sore today. Probably not as sore as @simo74
Took me a little bit to get going…but at no time did it not feel smooth which is great. Feeling better and better as I move back to training everyday. Some will tell you it’s not good. ![]()

Supersetted both exercises, took about 28 minutes including the warmup sets. Decided not to do any accessories, basically save the recovery points for tomorrow. I’ll squat or split squat if I can make them work, and do some benching to maintain the movement.
Good.

Full day in our own yard yesty.
Took the family out day today. Basically light cardio all day. Happy with that. Body is feeling good ready to attack the week tomorrow. Light day for dead’s and Press so I’ll do the same super set again tomorrow and chase it up with accessories.
Brisk walk this morning to get things moving. Need to bring these back permanently, always feel great after.
Even ran up a hill at a steady pace, it’s probably only 200m. I guess only weights don’t really make you slow and unfit so much. I mean the breathing was terrible…but that’s more a lack of practice rather than cardiac ability. Legs were fine.
Felt lazy this morning, if not guilty, for not training last night after our huge walk. Funny how the daily training mindset takes over all facets of your life lol.

PR volume for the D/O Deadlifts. Added a set to last light session. 6 half sets next time I hope, triggering a load increase in the session following. Only 2.5kg. but that will be PR also when I get all 10 on the first set.
Behind the neck (BTN) pulldowns:
First time using them for anything aside from a warmup. Technique wise they are feeling nice now, so wanted to get them amongst the Work. Starting light…30 seconds rest. Was still easy. That’s ok, it’s a starting point.

Same 30 seconds rest. That was a mistake. Haha. Was cooked by third ‘half’ set (was rpe 10, only just made it) so stopped there. Such a killer exercise.

Very good session. Was chomping at the bit all day to get stuck in. Used 90 seconds rest for the press and deadlift superset. Press, Deadlift, rest 90. The first ‘half’ set felt like a rest in it’s self ha. Got harder as it went but never in doubt. I’ll add on that 6th set next time it comes around and try and hold on to the 90 seconds rest period throughout. When I progress the load I’ll move the rest period back to 120 seconds and start over. Definitely a good way to Make a light workout more difficult.
Just catching up. Shit the bed that’s some strong single leg work
D/O ???
Double Overhand.
Full grip.
Yer realised that when I saw your IG post. Nice work on those high rep sets, grip must have been burning.
