Didely - awesome squatting! my session made me feel as weak as a kitten today.
Smiffy - ha! Need to go and get that today.
So heavy 5 reps squats today. Only got up to 155kg but I was squatting to the depth didely was which I'm not used to. I think I'm going to stay a bit higher on my heavy work days and go to total depth on my lighter days. I was 5 repping at 190kg so I want to get back there without putting bodyweight back on.
Leg press
3 x 5 at 300kg
Chins
3 x 5 at 25kg
Dips
3 x 5 at 50kg

Worst workout I can remember in decades! Blighted by two injuries stopping sets, distracting me etc.
Normally do chest - if at all - after shoulders but started chest first after an abs and neck warm up... did first set of 45 degree incline press with 2 x 60lb 'bells and started to slide down the bench! That was followed by the hollow, weak tearing feeling I've been getting (usually after sleep!) in my lower right ribs/lower side of back
Then the neck disc impingement issue I had over 20 years ago which flared up on curls last week - tightness, locking then head pain after neck pain. Chiropracter did some good years back but never fully sorted it, though not been so bad for years after it seemed to settle..
So only managed 15 reps and quit, waited... did another 10 and then lifted the seat up to try to steady me. Didn't help and failed at 6.
Then flat dumbbell bench press - 2 x 60lb = 1 x 25, 1 x 15
Incline flyes - 2 x 40lb = 1 x 25
Lying tricep curl -60lb = 1 x 25, 1 x 15, 1 x 12
Cable pushdowns - 140lb = 1 x 12, 1 x 8 100lb = 1 x 10
Standing cable tricep extensions - 70lb = 1 x 25
Anyone got an idea of what's wrong with the rib area?
Had it for months and wondered if I'd torn a muscle or done some ligament damage but could still box and even do side bends etc. (though they hurt a bit today).
It makes me feel 'hollow' and sore; weak and as if 'unstitched' if I lay on one side too long at night and was really done in by trying to stabilise myself on the bench today. A sharp, quaky pain like hot jelly being poured in - a stitch like feeling over a large area that grew and spread round the side of the back as the session/sets went on. Still feel it now over an hour later just sat still.

Generally if you can breathe without pain a rib injury (fracture/intercostal strain/oblique strain) is unlikely. Which means it's possibly exterior oblique strain at its insertion attachment point on the iliac crest (top of hip bone and can be slightly round your back), but it could be anywhere between there and the origin attachment points on the lower 8 ribs. It's quite a large muscle and will still allow you to exercise it (side bends) but will become sore and inflamed. Needless to say you should rest it, along with any other injuries.

Seems like ice, compression and then physio post-rest are the suggestions. The worrying thing is how long it's been around and the prospect of how much rest I'll need just when I'm stepping everything back up again. Dismal prospect.

Have the Robin Hood half marathon in 2 weeks so was hoping to do 13.1miles today in training, did 3 before I had to walk. Had to stop after just over 5 and walk home. Main issue was stomach cramps and a serious case of "I'm seriously going to have an embarrassing accident if I don't stop running", overheating as I put too many layers on and fighting against the wind.
Try again next Sunday as that'll be my last opportunity to get a long run in before Nottingham, it pisses me off though that there are days that I can come home from work, have my tea and do 10miles easily and then there are days where I relax and take it easy, eat comfortably and struggle to do 3 miles.

Good session today, spent about an hour doing log press and shoulder accessories then decided I would have a go at pressing the 105kg axle. Successfully did it
