You're from northern Scotland aren't you Viper, doesn't your area have a reputation for strongmen and the Highland games, similar to the Iceland as well I believe with guys like Magnusson?
It has a reputation for Highland Games 'heavy' athletes but not so much in strongman per se. Most good Scottish strongmen came from further south in Scotland (mainly due to a lack of appropriate training facilities up north until recently I'd say). Although there have a been a few in the last 10 years or so from my birth town of Fort William...I said said:

Today was Snatch, snatch pulls and pause squats.
First kinda decent session for a while for me since I tweaked the long bi tendon.
Low bar squats up to 145kg, some overhead press work up to 56kg but felt weak. Did it more to see how it felt than anything else. Certainly progress tho - there wasn't any pain.
Tried a couple of dips and got the full ROM without any pain but a little tightness in the tendon, so that's encouraging.
Also tested out how I felt with pull ups, and while there wasn't any pain, I did notice that my right side is over compensating a bit, at the top of the movement - which is irritating me.
