Back for more!

I pulled up fine from the first session, so back to the gym yesterday to confirm the weights were no fluke. No particular set count, just whatever made me feel good, aiming for 10 reps each:
Bench: 60 set work / 80 = 1RM
Squat: 80 set work / 100 = 1RM but it wasn't great form
Dead: 110 set work / 140 = 1RM
Military: 40 / no 1RM here as my lower back doesn't really like these, so I might drop them
Incline db: 15
Leg press: 180 sets / 230 X 5 so will probably go to 200 sets next time and 250 X 5 -
@NTA could be an idea to split stuff up from the get-go. Not surprised military presses were a bit rough after bench, squats and esp deadlifts. How was your glute activation on the military press? Often overlooked but vital for locking out and really getting your core to fire.
Yep, just asked a dude online if his cheeks were toight during a lift

Terrible. It's something I only remembered after some hot young thing walked in wearing tights. She had gluteal supremacy. Suprem-ass-y in fact.

In addition to clocking a couple of morning walks* I went to the gym last night.
There was some kids class on so I was restricted to the machines.
3 sets of 10 X 255kg leg press which was a nice jump
3 X 10 X 25kg chest press
1 X 45kg lat pulldown then 2 x 55kg
3 sets of hammy curls just for a laugh - no idea what weight as it was an older machine marked 1 thru 10 for each plate.*Running before dawn here at the moment is shit - cold enough to rug up so after 10 minutes you're soaked and in 2 layers. August will be when running starts in earnest.

Did some gym recently.
I hate the sled, but I still do it and generally in between sets of something else e.g do chest press then sled 10m up and back. Rest a minute, chest, sled etc
Also the other night I realised I can't count and put 270kg on the leg press for 2 X 10. So for the last set did 300kg X 6. Not bad

Played an Old Boys game at hooker today. Only 25 minute halves but still fucking hurts.
Lineouts 2/2
Tackles 0/2Cheating fluffybunnies brought out their 2nd grade backs to finish us off once we took the lead.
The fact you still play shows you're harder than the rest of us. Respect. You must feel lonely at Greenie conventions though. You'd be the only one who's lifted anything heavier than a latte.

I'm probably a bit fat round the guts to be called gangly but yeah that is in the workout regime for this week.
