15" dead:
1x 220,250,270,250,250
Bit sore...
17" dead:
1x 250,270,250kg
Much better, this will be the height I'll pull from.
Ham curls 3x10
Hypers 3x10
Want to get the 17" pulls back up to over 300kg, shouldn't take too long. The last few weeks of doing the Hepburn stuff has set me back rather than progressed things... live and learn I suppose.

Good fun session. Going to do what I want from now on, got a rough plan of adding weight each week and enjoying training again! Doing a 105kg strongman comp end of sept, so need to get my weight up a bit more- time to up the calories a bit

Went in to do the usual squat, bench, rows as part of stronglifts routine. Saw a friend of mine. He spotted me doing my bench. Didn't think I could lift as much as 70kg. He was doing arm & chest day so for the hell of it I did whatever he was doing. Now I don't doubt his knowledge as he has the muscles as proof. But I cant help wonder if I should try and stick with Stronglifts, or mix it up and have a go at whatever he's doing. Arms are suitably exhausted, can barely lift them. But that's because I never did any of the movements he had me doing.

Nothing beats being on a calorie surplus IMO Been on night shifts since Wednesday so training has consisted of a bit of lifting + a quick go on the treadmill. Weight has gone up steadily over the last month or so from 196 to 203 but I feel great. Mainly due to taking more food to work for shifts
Week 4, Day 2 - StrongLifts 5x5
Squat - 5x5 @ 50kg
Bench Press - 5x5 @ 40kg
Barbell Row - 5x5 @ 42.5kg
First session after a work enforced near 2 week layoff - grrrrr.
Squats and Press ok but could feel that days of crap sleep, diet and a few beers (...cough) while on tour hasn't helped at all.
Back to being a bit more careful. Row was fine which surised me a bit.
Hopefully the next leg of the tour in Bahrain next week is a reasonable hotel with a good gym, otherwise I'll do some isolation or bodyweight stuff for the hell of it.

Squat:
3x 60,60,100,140kg
1x 180,200,200,200kg
6x 230kg ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGl2KQQWqck )
Ham curls 3x10
Hypers 3x10
Done. Decent, bit of glute pain at the top of the squat messing things up(you can see where in the vid)- would have done a couple more reps if it wasn't bothering me. Still, happy with that.
