Training is happening this week and I am fairly happy with it but I am struggling to fit everything in. There was supposed to be a run at lunch which turned into helping out a colleague, and bench stopped short when I felt a pain in my shoulder and stopped to stay safe. With how it feels today I am glad I did, not major but enough to say, good job you stopped muppet.
Was not happy at the failed lift but in fairness the weight I was moving on the bigger sets wasn't bad.
Bench press

Squats 28-Aug-2013
That was all there was in this session. Front squats didn't happen due to time constraints. Happy with squats though, felt like hell on all but warm up sets, perfect.
Squats
Warm up 3 x 10 x 70kg
With wraps 1 x 170kg, 2 x 160kg
Without wraps 4 x 145kg, 8 x 130kg, 12 x 115kg, 15 x 100kg
As someone never happy with my endurance I was pleased with 15 at 100kg, but I was sure dead after it, so recovery is still rubbish.

Running 27-Aug-2013
A good run. It was hot, and humid but not nearly as bad as of late. got shiny new running shoes which took me a mile or two to get fully used to but none of this mattered today.
PB on this route and that has to be a good sign.
5.39 miles in 41:17 pace 7.83mph
Happy bunny.

Running 23-Aug-2013
OK I knew today wasn't going to break any records. Body was shattered from being back to weights, I enjoyed that so don't mind, and the wether which I hate, hot and humid as somerwhere really hot and humid.
Yes I could probably have finished the whole run but by the end of mile 5 I really could be doing with running through breathign difficulties and leaden legs anymore so I stopped.
5 miles in 40:52 pace 7.35mph which is pitiful but in all fairness I cannot be bothered to care right now. I ache nicely from other training and that feels to good to be upset about 1 run.

Deadlift 22-Aug-2013
Erred slightly on the side of caution weight wise. Think hurtign myself earlier in the year has messed with my head a bit so increases will be slower than I like.
But hey it was deadlifts and they were all good ones, safe and the session was last night and I ache like hell now. Happy bunny.
Deadlift
Warm up 3 x 10 x 70kg
Sets 1 x 160kg, 2 x 150kg, 4 x 135kg, 8 x 120kg, 12 x 105kg, 15 x 90kg
Pull ups
Attempt at BW + 50kg no perceivable movement
1 x BW + 35kg pull ups are sometimes called chins due to getting chin to bar, this would have been a nose, maybe lip at best.
2 x BW + 25kg, 4 x BW + 15kg, 8 x BW + 5kg
End of this I knew I had trained. Sat down in time for my wife and son to arrive, my son was full of energy and entusiasm, so I smiled genuinely and showed energy I didn't really have.

Running 22-Aug-2013
Today was hot, and my legs did start tiring in the latter half of the run. This aside I wasn't too displeased with the pace.
5.41 miles in 43:07 pace 7.52
I was expecting this to be slower because it felt like a lot of effort but it will do. See how deadlifts go later.

Bench 21-Aug-2013
Decided moderation be dawmed and started at my previous 1 rep weight. There was definately a stop, not a pause as should have been but a stop none the less without any hint of momentum assitting the up. Because this wasn't great I used a lower 2 rep and that was easier than it should have been, every other set was maxed out on the last one.
Bench
Warm up 3 x 10 x 40kg
Sets 1 x 92.5kg, 2 x 82.5kg, 4 x 77.5kg, 8 x 72.5kg, 12 x 67.5kg 15 x 62.5g
Standing shoulder press
1 x 52.5kg, 2 x 50kg, 4 x 45kg, 8 x 40kg
