Nice push press progress mate. How's the 65kg feel? do you use  a belt?.....really gave me confidence on overhead stuff.

thanks neb.

Felt fine to be honest, will try for the 67.5kg this week. No don't use a belt and don't really intend to till the weights alot heavier.

Plan is to keep the training hard and chuck in some more cardio hopefully lose a few kilos.

Hows the training going? You had a break over christmas?

Had a few sessions but missed a lot due to ale. No more after today though..

Why the low squat anyway.....back issues?.....does that not effect your dead?...see you have a 150kg deadlift which isn't bad

Squat is low due to me having an ankle op where I had a pin put in and never really squatted that much after it as I was always worried something would go wrong.

Have started doing them again with aims to do them 2-3 times a week. However in my last session my lower back went and I thought I was going to drop the weight. Don't know why it happened but still feels slightly sore so will probably see how it is tomorrow but will squat tuesday at the latest.

Deadlift could do with improving would like to hit the 200 mark by may.
 
What happened to your journal? You doing any weights still or is it mostly cardio now?

Mostly cardio...gonna bring back the journal this week I teckon

Yeah you should, good to see your progress and also abit of death abuse every now again to keep you going.

Back seemed fine this morning, then this evening had to wash the dog as she had been rolling in fox **** or something and it went again when I was bending down. No clue or reason why it's happened.

Pleased with that, back still playing up tried to dead 60kg and could feel lower back twinging.

Really been suffering with my back today. It "went" earlier and I felt like crying. Am going to go and try see a physio as soon as possible. Until it's feeling better no deadlift or squatting at all, can see push pressing being a problem too.

Going to the gym tomorrow so will see how it is and what I can do.

havent updated it much this week. Found out i'd trapped my sciatic nerve so thats why the back and right leg was painful. Got some stretches to do for it.

Not a big session, was tempted to do deadlifts but thats just asking for trouble. Pressing session tomorrow, would like to be using the log.

Nice bench PB mate. Do you reckon you'd have got the 80 had you not done all that before hand?

possibly but most likely not, started to raise it but it got to a point where it wasn't going anywhere.
