Really starting to wonder what my max deadlift will be , think i could well beat my 137.5kg PB from before

Targets

just the one run , still have that problem with mt foot

Day seventeen

had the day off

Day eighteen

Day twenty

Deadlift

Just a normal

5x5 @ 115kg

Really not feeling good at the moment , have a fungal infection on my foot from running and the nastiest veruca on the ball of my foot , the f'ucker is huge and one of each of my little toes. Hopefully getting them frozen off and have some cream for my foot. On top of that i have just got a sinus infection.

Cannot run at all at the moment and i am really starting to wonder if i am going to make the great south run  , doctor has told me not to but i dont want to let the charity down or the people that have sponsored me.

Even if i do make it , i am not going to be able to run the full 10 miles. At the rate things are going , i will be lucky if i can run 5. If things do not improve soon , the only other option i have is to maybe do another run instead a month later and transfer all the sponsors to that race instead.

Feeling abit gutted to be honest and dissapointed in myself , feeling abit **** about the whole running thing to be honest. I feel like i have let myself down aswell.

On a good note i think i could be ready for a 150kg+ deadlift

Day twenty one

Good work on the lifting mate.

Have you still got plans to look at getting a rack. I know there was a special offer on at Powerhouse Fitness but i'm not sure how long for. - Worked out at around £130 i think for the standard rack - if you can afford it the model with the pulley attachment it's well worth it.

I do the occasional normal session of say 5x5 , but i just find it boring

Prefer having my own sessions and pushing myself , thats the part i enjoy

Great news on the bargain weights you got there Ballbag. Not as cheap as mine but then yours were ready to use

Upped the weight on my bar today to manage a PB Deadlift of 170kg so well happy with that and will be celebrating with a few pints tonight Well deserved aswell. I bet i even manage to leave the brownie when i get home after a few
