Surprised myself that shockingly, if you go regularly, you can be strong.

Managed 2 reps of 112.5kg on bench, after having a 1RM of 122.5kg ice been nowhere near for about 4 years.

Deadlifted 175kg too, which is close to my 182.5kg max.

Went yesterday and did incline before flat and worked my way up to 95kg on incline bench as a 1rm, so I should be able to hit 100 on that sometime I think.

If I keep going this year I might actually manage some pbs.

Still weak as shit at squat though. 130kg today and felt like I was going to blow out a knee. Risking benching heavier than squatting.

This is absolutely miserable by the way. Exercising regularly is so good, but the whole eat less and eat well thing is just the pits.

New deadlift pb tho at 185kg and I’m trying to normalise 110kg on bench by doing several 1 reps of it each time I do chest. Managed 5 1s at 110kg last week so might try 112.5kg later this week or next.

Still fatter than I should and beginning to think the only way I won’t be is mixing in some cardio which I absolutely can’t be arsed with. Managed 4 minutes on the cross trainer before I’d got bored staring at the fit birds arse on the step machine and gave up.

Just use the treadmill and gets your steps up.

Whack on a podcast/some video whilst staring at girls ofc and it will go quick.
