Injured. Meniscus has degenerative wear and tear, torn horn and a lesion confirmed by MRI about 2 weeks ago. Stems from an injury about 8 years ago. Waiting for an appointment to go ahead with surgery, can't wait to get this silly thing over and done with. I was ill at the beginning of the year (2 weeks out for pneumonia) and lost a LOT of strength, but been back in training since Feb. Lots of other s**t going on at the moment so a PB of some sort is the only thing in life that seems to be going right!

No offense but I don't recognise the name - have we competed against each other in the past?

Waves are usually about 5 weeks long, then I start again with speed work gradually getting heavier. Get your log up and running again!

Very quick bench session just to get out of the house.
Trying to set bands up x 10 mins

Took the bands off

55kg x 3 - lots of speed, almost fell off the bench
75kg x 3
95kg x 3
115kg x 1 - there was a double there
125kg x 0 - knew I'd fail it as it felt heavy on the way down. Came an inch off my chest then stuck there

Deadlifts today. Just had a coffee then off to gym

55kg x 5 conv
105kg x 5 sumo
135kg x 3 sumo
180kg x 5 sumo belted - technique's looking consistent and this shows in my training. I used to keep on looking at the mirror to see if my head and chest were up, arse is down etc. which obviously meant my head wasn't up

SLDL
145kg x 8,8,8
Superset with pullups
BW x 8,8,8

Power cleans
65kg x 5,5,1 - CBA

Few sets of biceps

Glad things are progressing. Work might take me out of London which means I'll be training at a different gym - 70kg dumbbells so should be fun.

Nice work mate! Sumo deads are brilliant for a lot of reasons. Good to see someone else who does them.

Thanks! I do them mainly because I'm a girl and my back is ruined, I pop my back a lot more often when I pull conv and I can lift more this way! I do find it helps with tyre flips etc. I seem to do well with them and can only put it down to sumo deads.
