Frustrated with the squat. F*ucked up the belt position on 1st rep (had the plates too high up) & it was downhill from there, although the 3rd attempt nearly got past the sticking point.

Plus I ripped my boxers from front to back in the process

Has been a shit week. Somehow on Thursday I hurt my back whilst sleeping - just woke up in agony. Couldn't even get my socks on until Sunday!! Over the weekend I also acquired a virulent strain of manflu & still feel ropey now.

Yesterday I decided to test the waters with some gentle upper body stuff. Uncomfortable but not painful.

Bulgarian Dips:
5x5

Scaffold Pull Ups:
5x5 - with 5 sec pause at top of each rep

Cross Pulls:
5x5

By this point the room was spinning so I went home & curled up on the sofa in the foetal position.

[xJimx]

Manflu has subsided & back is feeling more-or-less OK now. Did 2 quick-ish sessions yesterday & today; hopefully will get back to it properly next week.

Thursday:

Belt Squat:
3x10x80

3x10

Isometric pull crap on the rings - 10 mins worth

Damn the ring work was brutal. Gymnastic exercises seem to have the ability to make you hurt in the places you least expect i.e. the tucked levers really blasted my triceps.

Last set of squats were a real struggle - back niggled slightly so still clearly not at 100%.

[xJimx]

Sunday:

Sun shining + kids out for the afternoon = NO EXCUSES. Time for sprints!

Did 12 x width of footie pitch.

(Not sure of exact distance, pretty sure pitch is narrower than regulation so will take tape measure with me next time to check).

[xJimx]

Went to gym with no plan today; clusterf*ck ensued.

3x8x20

Bunch of tucked front levers
