Monday
Coleford, for a Festival of Transport, in the afternoon so sensible o'clock at the gym. And what a session. I almost done myself a mischief pulling on deadlifts. For a moment I thought I'd injured myself but as it is I was just very sore and tender the rest of the day as I am now the following morning.

DOTBDLTL - repsto 130-kilos x 9, 10 and 8+2+1 (almost down on on knee on rep 8 as I suddenly hit the wall, felt sore, carried on etc etc). Walking up and down between the last two parts.

Mid Iso-row
to 70-kilos an arm x 8 reps

s/s

Iso B/Press
high reps low weight due to twinge from before so:
20-kilos aside x 20, 35-kilos x 20 r/p reps, 55-kilos x 12 reps

Bloody scales. Up and down the stairs here from my supposedly accurate postal scales to the ones that are meant to be less so. ANYWAY... having finally settled on the weight (still a little way to go) I ended up doing the of so damn painful workout in the kitchen. The lever work is all stress on the wrist over a rep of strength due to a combination of the factors in leverage.

Pick axe workout
L/H: weight x 10 secs then 3 x 15 painful seconds
R/H: 10, 15 and then 2 x 21 seconds.
