Pleasant session. Sumo went nicely. Front squats were about equal to my previous heaviest go. Weight loss continues. I was ~115kg a few months ago. About 109.5kg now, and trending down.

Sumo (no belt): 120x5, 170x5x5
Leg curls: 50x6x2, 40x12

Shoulder still buggered. "but press is great for shoulders, everybody!". Fuck you in the retina, quotation marks guy. I was sad and tired before this session, but luckily once I was done, i was sad and tired after the session. Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes!

OHP: 60x5 and immediate brutal death
Bench (regular): 100x3, 120x2x4, 102.5x5, 100x5x3
Front plate raise: 25x8x5 - tried a dumbbell to do more weight - not real different, apart from the intense pain. weird.
Facepulls: 12.5x12/10 range x 5
CG Pulldowns: 80x6, 90x6, 95x5, 80x8

Somehow I get the impression you have a feeling you're at a standstill? Nothing I can put my finger on, mind. Just a suspicion.

Nice work on the weight loss! And the lifting progress will come back.

Ozzie calendars don't make sense to me.

Also: Octofuckitwhogivesashit >>>>>>>>>Rocktober. I stopped listening to all classic Rock Radio due to getting the dry heaves when I hear someone say Rocktober.

Did your shoulders hurt before pressing? Quotations guy (in this case: Dr. Petrizzo over in Egypt) had me stop the presses for a couple of weeks until the pain went away, then had me OHP, keeping the pain in check. Seemed to work, mostly.

The stolid defence of randomness continues. There can be no cessation of these hostilities, even as we look down from the battlements, and see in truth, that the enemy is us. Dice, stamping on a human face, forever.

oops ... wrong big brother

oops ... wrong big brovas

I guess all my lifts are slow.

[hector]

That wasn't slow enough that I'd call it slow either. Based on speed (which I know you're not supposed to use for RPE) I would guess RPE 8.
Strong!!!

Don't feel well. Fuck this shit, I'm out.

So pullovers a few days ago did interesting feely things to my torso. Bits are telling me they exist that I didn't know about.
I think I've done enough fucking around - time for a program again. Starting with my recent experiences with an expanded exercise list, the naughties and nices are:

Low-bar: yay - love it

Leg extensions: nah, fuck'em
Abductor machine: nah, fuck'em
Hyperextensions: nah, fuck'em
Bench (narrow): yay - love it
Bench (regular): yay - love it
Bench (wide): nah, fuck'em
Bench (dumbbell): nah, fuck'em
OHP (barbell): nah, fuck'em
OHP (dumbbell): nah, fuck'em
OHP (Arnold dumbbell): yay - love it
Lateral raises: nah, fuck'em
Plate front raises: yay - love it
Facepulls: yay - love it

Back at it. New (actual) program. Still feeling pretty beat up, and dealing with whatever virus my child brought home. Unfortunately she got a secondary chest infection, but I've managed to avoid that hopefully.

Volume day - 2 minute rests

High-bar (no belt): 140x5x6 - max @8.5
Good morning (no belt): 100x10x2 - max @7
Bench: 100x5@7, 95x5x6 - max @8.5 - fair bit of shoulder pain still.
Dumbbell rows: 45x8x3 - max @9
Leg curls: 45x6x3 - max @9
