Yeeeeeahhhhhh Buddy! - Dave's Log

That split jerk fail is terrific! I’m still laughing now.

Good numbers and good luck.

Lol cheers bud, thanks for popping in

Deadlift today, 2 days early as I have a very busy week work wise with an important presentation. Wont train again until sat, big squat session with lots of assistance planned then

60kg x 3
100kg x 3
140kg x 1
180kg x 1
190kg 3 x 2
140kg 3 x 3

Done. Didnt feel too hot today, annoying time of day to train forced on me by presentation metting. Twats. 190’s were all easy and quick, 2nd rep faster than the first. This makes me think I need to move the bar another half inch away from me in the start position.
